    I backed the dragon's but something is telling me the Warriors are going to turn it on today.Let's see.

    Not so far defensively anyway. Their righthand side defence forgot to turn up.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Yeah they are, disappointing today but not a surprise, Dragons love an offload don't they. Ordered a Warriors heritage jersey (knock off) from China the other week which came this morning, so that's cheered me up slightly!

    After I said it was hard to call round, clearly not! Your heart over your head today is ballsing up your clean sweep. (Think that's forgivable though :))

    Yeah don't think you'll be too far wrong, though I think Broncos might drop place or two, Dragons may arrest their slide a bit too.

    Oh, and 1,000 posts. (this time around). :)

    1000 is ambitious but Origin is just around the corner so plenty to talk about

    Looking forward to Origin, dunno why, but I think it'll be a very close series. Hope so anyway. Would love for some open games but I know they can be more of a war of attrition.

    interesting team selections Boyd rather than Slater at fullback for the banana benders is a huge call . and why are the blues picking Hayne? also Pearce has never played well in Origin so I'm worried about that . 2-1 to the blues in the series (fingers crossed ) Thurston missing is a huge deal ,cant see him playing in game 1 or 2 .hopefully the golden generation for the Maroons is finally over.

    Good news for NSW then, I read the other day if he was only 80 - 90% fit they wouldn't risk him.

    Bunnies
    Broncos
    Sharks
    Raiders

    My picks for the round.

    Edit: the way the Rabbitohs have started, I could be on for an epic zero from four for my picks.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Much prefer Nines coverage to Fox. Much less stilted. Saying that, that we get to see every single game, every week is brilliant.

    Eels held on against the Bunnies I see.

    I didn't realise the State of Origin games were so close. Nice to see Dylan Napa get a call up for Queensland. There was a game last season, i forget against who, where he was unbelievably good, smashing everybody.

    Don't have a preference on who wins. Just hoping for plenty of drama. :cool:

    Great first half for the Warriors, but we know what they do in second halves. That's the shirt I treated myself to the other week.

    Think Warriors should only hate to play teams decimated by Origin, makes it much easier to watch :)

    Edit: good win for Warriors, 2 for 2 on my incorrect predictions.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.
