Couple of questionable tries amongst the 6 we scored - but I’ll take it. 7 in a row baby!

A hammering handed out. I thought Manly were a chance given how they'd played the last 3 weeks or so (hence me tipping them in the other thread, but hey...I have to hope for miracles and tip accordingly to ever possibly catch up). They looked to have found some decent form with Turbo roaming from centre, but 42-4 is a strong statement otherwise.

Dogs are chomping now they have a full squad and seemed to have sorted out where to play Galvin. They'll be doing serious business every week
from now on.

Hard to envisage one of these four not winning the premiership atm

I was also banking on Galvin destabilising things for them, but as you said, it seems like they've clicked with him set at 7.

Don’t think Melb will be winning anything with Hughes injured - but if anyone can get around that, it’s Melbourne and Bellamy

Predicting Panthers vs Raiders/Dogs

Whilst I absolutely loved Panthers vs Dogs matchup, the idea of a great offensive team like the Raiders against a great defensive team is always awesome to watch. Storm could always be a factor but Papenhauzen always feels like a question mark, they need Hughes back asap.

Also wow looking ahead, talk about finals prep, we’ve got Titans/Knights, then Storm/Raiders/Bulldogs with a cooldown game against the Dragons leading into the finals. Pretty decent prep.

Sharpe’s been demoted back to touch judge btw.

the problem with the raiders is that they randomly switch off every game for forty minutes
they've clawed their way back into several games in a row now from tenuous or losing positions but it's not a good look for a top four team to be in hot water in consecutive weeks against the knights, eels, dragons, knights again and tigers
