International 12th Man
Can't believe he'd even think about going from a champion club to a bunch of cellar dwellers.

What's a couple hundred thousand extra a year gonna do to change his life.
his legacy would be enhanced by making the tigers a good club again tbf.
don't be surprised if ol mate actually signs for the Dogs either - the media hype this **** up way too much. Like AFB to the dragons was apparently a done deal, then out of nowhere he signs for the sharks

International Coach
Luai = 1.2m ($AUD) per season.
James = 47.6m ($USD) or $70.7m ($AUD) per season
Number 30 pick in first round NBA draft = $1.8m ($USD) or 2.67m ($AUD) per season

Course if he's given a months rent on a house in Balmain then the values come out about even.

It's been a while since feeling tense about a game of league, but some serious cookies hinging on this minor premiership.
Been in Morocco for over 2 weeks with a few mates who have also invested in Panthers shares, Saturday night being the last night here should be a good one if they can get the job done. Feel kind of blessed with the Broncos losing, although tbf I've been saying to my pals for months that we got
this wild card joker to play in the last round....now 14-0.
Anyway boys get in behind the Penny Panthers today because if they do get up a small % of the proceeds are heading straight towards the prize pool for next years 1st CW rugby league tipping comp.
As promised here we go, still 7 weeks until kickoff but best to be well prepared.

2024 NRL TIPPING COMP

RULES

NRL matches only, includes play-offs and finishes off with the grand final.

1st=3000
2nd=2000
3rd=1000

Dead-heat rules apply eg 1st=2,500 each, 3rd= 500 each

It's not about picking winners but picking what side of the handicap you venture.
1 point for every correct pick, 0 for a wrong pick.
The lines used will be the NSW TAB.
Pews will post the lines on a Monday. All picks to be in no later than 1 hour before kick off in the opening match of the week.
Should the lines change before the game, we'll still be sticking to the original lines on the Monday. If you get your picks in early this could either
mean good or bad fortune pending on which way the line goes.
How to send in your picks:
Here's an example of what you'll see:

Penrith (-5.5) Brisbane (+5.5)

Home team always on the left, if you back Penrith you are buying which means you need them to win by 6+
Back Brisbane and you are selling which means you win when the Broncos win or lose by less than 5 points.
Games are all in order so when you send in your picks it should read something like this...

S
S
B
S
B
B
S
B

Everyone will receive ONE runners chance. That is if you forget to get your picks in on time you will automatically be given the home team
to cover the handicap, if you forget twice then congratulations you score an automatic 0 points.
It's simple, get your bets in on time.

Pews will also post the leader-board and the end of the round, which will make it interesting to see how we're all going.

In the final four rounds and the play-offs, picks for those at the top end of the leader-board will be made invisible.
That means picks won't be seen or known until kickoff in the opening match. The reason for this is to stop copying, for example 1st could mirror
2nd place picks which would give no chance to be caught.

Should any unforeseen circumstances occur I'll reserve the right now to have the final say(with or without advice from the committee)

Entries close on the 1st March(1st game on the 3rd)
Please confirm your entry with a simple ''in''

The bad news is I'll be winning the comp, so you plonkers will be eating my dust fighting out 2nd and 3rd.
Either way I'm quietly confident it's going to be fun for everyone involved. Enjoy!
