I'll go Broncos even though Parra usually always perform well up here.

Brisbane. Might just tip against Parra from now on. Already got money on them for the spoon.

Move that the next round be similar to that adopted in English football last man standing to prevent this, gets mightily boring otherwise.

Naa probably not needed with NRL, Parramatte may be struggling but to suggest them or anyone is gonna lose more than 4 or 5 in a row is a big call. Look at tonight for example, Lockyer does a hammy in the warm up Broncos will be pretty disjointed and you wouldnt say Eels couldnt win then.

Just reckon each week people will be looking at who the eels and sharks are playing against, no real decisions need be made until sharks and eels play each other. Prob not enough game options though to implement it. Not much skill required to back against eels every week.

I wonder if anyone has thought forward to two weeks when there are only four matches that round. Could know some people out.

Don't forget Manly minus Brett Stewart.

I'm with Simon though. Would be very surprised to see any team continue losing for a massive period of time. Eels weren't THAT far off the Dragons a couple weeks back. They're definitely not the Dogs of late 08.

Besides isn't picking against the rubbish team half the skill of LMS?

Think that would be the prob. In the English football one there are over 100 teams available; with the NRL you've got 16.

Could give it a go if people want tho? Happy to go with the majority.
