Hmm is a tough one, If I go Parramatta I cant make it all the way to the end then, I could take my chances and go them this week and hope everyone else falls before the grand final.

I think I'll go Brisbane Broncos anyway.

Should go Parra, but if they win they'll play the Dogs, and I don't want to have to pick Canterbury ever, even if the rules dictate it. I'd feel dirty tbh.

Sigh.

Fallers:

Brumby: St George


Standing:

Simon: Brisbane Broncos
NUFAN: Parramatta Eels
Burgey: Broncos

Teams Used:

Simon:
Knights, Raiders, Rabbitohs, Bulldogs, Broncos
NUFAN: Titans, Storm, Sea Eagles, Broncos, Eels
Burgey: Titans, Sea Eagles, Knights, Storm, Broncos

Fixtures:

Bulldogs v Parramatta Eels
Melbourne Storm v Brisbane Broncos


Some interesting calls for Burgey & Si to make, with NUFAN taking the Bulldogs (having no choice about it, in fact). Burgey needs to knock Simon off this round as he's already had both Melbourne & yer Broncs.

Taking Parramatta obviously.
Cant see Burgey not taking them too, so if Bulldogs win then NUFAN will win but if they get through then the worst I can do is a draw with him.

Parra it is. If they win then Simon wins this, which is ok by me. Just can't bring myself to tip the Criminal Element.

"Oooh, we've turned the club around, we're respectable, we don't cheat, we respect women, we don't have rubbish supporters". Do it for more than 5 minutes and someone might believe you.

Paying $1.01 that if the Dogs lose this Friday there will be massive dust ups on the trains out of the game, there'll be graffiti, vandalism and pillage everywhere. Pack of arseholes. Would rather the Black Death than them win the comp tbh.

If Parra win then its you and me left for the last week and obviously you wouldnt have anyone to tip as you would have used both Broncos and Storm too, so if Broncos win then its a guaranteed draw as Ive used them as well, but i still have storm left so if they got through and lost then i think its still a draw for us.

Looking for someone to give me a lift home to avoid this very scenario tbh.

TBH those sort of things will happen win/lose or draw when it comes to Bulldogs fans.

Read it twice & think that's correct, yes.

Sure you'll happily pass up the outright title for the Broncs making it tho.

Parra power does for NUFAN then.

Fallers:

NUFAN: Bulldogs


Standing:

Simon: Parramatta
Burgey: Parra

Teams Used:

Simon:
Knights, Raiders, Rabbitohs, Bulldogs, Broncos, Eels
Burgey: Titans, Sea Eagles, Knights, Storm, Broncos, Eels

Fixtures:

Parramatta Eels v Melbourne Storm


Having used both finalists Burgey is, to use the techincal term, buggered, but can still secure a share of the title if his own beloved Eels can pull off the Premiership. Would be a first for a team finishing 8th I believe.

Obviously have to take Storm but I'd love to share this title and the NRL title with Burgey. Go Parra!
