Cut-off Times for this week…

Friday 24^th April 2020. Tips will not might be accepted after this time.

Hi all,

Your Round 7 Tipsheet is attached

Wild scenes broke out north of the bridge when Manly managed to break their 4 week losing streak knocking off the Titans 39 -3. The Sea Eagle fanatical faithful fans (all 28 of them) converged on Manly beach after the match to celebrate the historic win. A stage was set up and the event hosted by Manly legends Geoff Toovey, Paul Vautin, Graham Eadie and John (The Finger) Hopoate.

Police were called and all 32 were fined for breaching Stay at Home rules (and generally just being idiots).  

Get over it guys…..it was only the TITANS. Rumours that the Titans will be merging with the Wanneroo District Junior Netball Club WA are unfounded.

Trivia –

1 – In 1983 Graham Eadie (aka Wombat) scored the first ever 4 point try in rugby league history. He scored that try in Manly’s 38-12 win over Cronulla at Brookvale Oval on February 26.

2 – John Hopoate became “the most suspended player of the modern era”. In 2018 he was given a 10 year ban from any involvement in rugby league.

The Weekend Results

NB – Please remember these are Tippers predictions and are not slanted by any bias that I may have toward any  teams…….

• The Cowboys woes continue being handed their 4^rd consecutive loss. This time at the hands of the Storm. The Cowboys now slip to 14^th on the ladder.
• The Broncos made it 6 from 6 with a comprehensive win over the Sharks 38 – 9 in the DRQ.  
• The game that was earmarked as the match of the round – Raiders and Knights. Both teams went into the clash undefeated in 2020. The match turned out to be an absolute fizzer with the Raiders running riot over the hapless (hopeless) Knights  34 – 2.
• The Warriors did the unlikely and toppled the Roosters 29 – 10. (And they wanted to go home….. what were they thinking ? They admirably did their part in the “Stop the 3peat” effort. The Roosters are now languishing down the bottom of the ladder in 13^th.
• Someone needs to drug test the Eels. They kept their perfect start to 2020 going by delivering a thumping to the Doggies to the tune of 26 – 0.
• The Bunnies move in to the top 4 with an easy win over the Dragons 39 – 16. “They’re gorn the Dragons” was the call. Shane Flanagan is measuring up the office at St George leagues Club (just to make sure his head will fit through the door).
• The Tigers leapfrog the Panthers on the ladder after beating them 21 – 17 at Penrifff Park in what turned out to be the tightest match of the round. The win sees them take 8^th place (on for and against).

The Standout
