Tupou was probably a better hole runner last year.

Yeah for sure. Sharks forward pack was already strong and now with Tupou it will be devastatingly strong. Sharkies will have to consider anything less then then a top 5 finish a failure of a season imo.

Hell yeah it'll be great. Not liking having it on a Sunday though. Should be a friday imo.

Where you watching these highlights?
Raiders started their trail match well taking a 12-0 lead but after changing the side they lost their way to give the Broncos the win. By reports Croker played on the wing like Carney he has been moved from centre to wing. Our defence in the backs wasn't good that could again prove a big weakness when the season starts.

Stgeorge go 2 from 2 for the season. Quite amazing considering our usually crappy start. Hopefully we smash the bunnies and ruin their grand final, then get a decent start to the season and beat Cronulla. If we don't beat Cronulla and injure Barrett (Well this one is just a add on for my enjoyment 
), but we win the first 2 then its a pointless start to the season tbh. Haven't read the match report of the match against the Doggys yet, but we made front page from a trial game so we must be good

NRL teams as Actresses
Broncos - Kate Winslet
Bankable big name talent.Might not always win the Oscar but always nominated.
Bulldogs - Angelina Jolie
Puts out the image of the family club but is prone to off field scandal.
Raiders - Demi Moore
Big force in the 90s and looking to rebuild with younger men.
Sharks - Kate Richie
A big hit on the bay but yet to make waves out in the real world.
Knights - Hilary Swank
Can dress up well on a big night but no disputing working class roots.
Warriors - Penelope Cruz
Exotic foreign talent,sometimes a little hard to understand but in the prime of career.
Eels - Winona Ryder
Was big in the 80s but has become a bit of a lost cause in recent times.

Had a stellar 2003 but has since become bogged down in period dramas.
Titans - Kate Hudson
Inoffensive and nice to look at but yet to produce anything of real substance.
Sea Eagles - Nicole Kidman
Blue chip commodity but not widely loved.
Storm - Salma Hayek
The best thing to come out of Mexico in quite some while.
Cowboys - Jennifer Aniston
Started out as a comedy act,has tried to play more serious roles lately but often ends up with a broken heart.
Rabbitohs - Katie Holmes
Best known for the dominating big name Hollywood actor in their lives.
Dragons - Calista Flockhart

Roosers - Julia Roberts

Tigers - Reese Witherspoon

Nicole Kidman theory, must be an opposite theory, cause as we've gotten better as she's gotten worse. Though I guess the theory in general is spot on.
At least we aren't being compared to Winona Ryder though.

With the NRL season just a few days away now () I'm gonna post my tips. Feel free to join in and we can make our own mini tipping league if you guys want.
Broncos vs Cowboys - 28 - 12
Even with the loss of Bennett and some big name players, I believe Broncos have the depth and quality to see off North Queensland.
Storm vs St George - 10 - 14
I just can't tip against my saints, even though we normally always lose our first game, it's against Melbourne and it's in Melbourne!!! I reckon we can win it though, we have 2 big props, some star backs and proven halves combination as well as good hole runners in second row/lock.
Bulldogs vs Manly - 12 - 36
I reckon the minor premiers will get off to a good start against the wooden spooners, despite the dogs picking up Kimmorely and Manly having to deal with all that unwanted press attention in the vital preparation stages.
Roosters vs Souths - 13 - 12
Souths won the charity shield, but they win that a lot without finding success where it matters. The rabbits have some good young talent though in Sandows and Luke as well as some stars like Wesser. They could take this out but I can't go past the Roosters here.
Cronulla vs Penrith 4-10
Anyone that knows me wont find this a surprise; I NEVER tip the sharks The sharks have a good front row but I'm praying Penrith can humiliate Cronulla.
Gold Coast vs Newcastle - 16 - 6
This is a tough one but with the Titans at home I went with them. I like there team, especially there front row so I've gone with them.
Warriors vs Eels - 10 - 8
I've gone with this purely from last years results and the fact that New Zealand are at home. They are quite a force at home and aren't easy to beat. It will be a dog fight though I reckon, and hopefully there is some rain as well to make it a bit more interesting. I'm praying this game is a saturday night game as well.
West Tigers vs Canberra - 32 - 24
Real tough one this, and my head is saying Canberra but my heart is saying Tigers seems I have a lot of uncles and cousins who support them. It's not easy, probably the hardest tip of the week and if Canberra were at home I would have went for them. It's at Cambelltown and West Tigers always want to perform there seems they don't play there much.
