The big three Premiership favourites all had very different results this week. What does this mean to you Tipster?
Dynasty Done
The Panthers hopes of a fifth consecutive Premiership has fallen flat with a 30-12 loss to the Dolphins.
The loss is also their fifth consecutive and no team in the history of Australian rugby league has ever won the competition from this position. Regardless of this, everyone is still waiting for the Panthers to turn this around and return to normal transmission.
The Panthers only sit above the Eels on the premiership ladder. I think it’s over and will dissect the Premiers fall during the week.
Last Season’s Broncos
The Broncos are still my pick to win it all this year despite their shock loss to the Roosters at Suncorp. And I wasn’t the only one thinking they had the game in the bag with the Broncos players and every Tipster agreeing.
Fox Sports’ Cooper Cronk was quick to pick out the pre-game jovial mood in the Broncos dressing room. Much like last year.
I guess Coach Maguire hasn’t quite got the rockstar attitude out just yet.
Storm Rolling In
At the other end of the ladder, the Storm sit 2nd only to the undefeated Bulldogs. Again, all Tipsters abandoned the Wahs tipping the Storm to win. Which they did comfortably.
Leading 36-nil at halftime, it was a shoulder injury to halfback Jahrome Hughes that stopped the flow of points. An extended period on the sideline will challenge the Storm especially with Origin fast approaching.
