Cut-off Times for this week…
Thursday 25th June 2020 – Panthers v Rabbitohs 7:50pm AEST
Tips will not be accepted after this time.
Who’d want to be a Victorian eh ? Not me (I got over it). The AFL comp may be on shaky ground with a positive Covid test arising, but our NRL motors on – even with real crowds !
- The Knights handed the Broncos their 4th straight loss 27 – 6. The Broncos haven’t won since the restart to the comp. Anthony Seibold will now be looking behind his back given the current environment of sacking coaches due to non-performance on the field.
- Speaking of sacking coaches, Stephen Kearney (rightly or wrongly) was given the axe following the Warriors loss to the Rabbitohs 40 – 12. You could write an entire article around that decision. Given the current situation confronting the Warriors, was now the right time to get rid of him ?
- The Panthers notched their 4th win of the season knocking off the favoured Storm 21 – 14. The win sees them leapfrog the Storm and into 3rd place on the ladder.
- In the big match of the round, the Eels suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of the Roosters 24 – 10. I hate to say it, but it looks like the Roosters are getting back to their best. They have the hapless (hopeless) Dragons next week.
In other matches :
- The Dragon’s had a boring win over the Titans 20 – 8 (should have been 50 – 8).
- West Tigers did the Cowboys 36 – 20. They did enough to keep themselves ahead of the Cowboys on the ladder (9th place) on differential.
- The Sharks did it the hard way, hanging on to beat the Bulldogs 20 – 18.
- The Sea Eagles faithful are all patting themselves on the back following their win over the Raiders 14 -6. Big deal – they won. Phrases like “the gutsiest wins in Manly’s history”, “one of the bravest wins in Manly’s history” and “heroic effort” are over the top. FFS get over it ! The only good news to come out this match was the injury list. Let’s see how deep their reserve list is.

Upset wins to the Panthers and Sea Eagles spoiled the party for most tipsters (whenever Manly win I feel upset). So our Jackpot pool grows to $20 for Round 7.
