Just in case you didn't realise it, The Rabbitohs v Sea Eagles game this Friday is on the road and being played at the Bluetongue Stadium, Gosford. That's roughly half way between Sydney and Newcastle.
For the purposes of our comp it'll be treated as a home game for Rabbitohs as they are named first.

Now THAT was a fun game

[G Las D]

Yes indeedy!
It was a great match to watch, but not to be a coach in. Rabbitohs looked to having wrapped this up early but left the gate ajar for a game Manly side to come powering through. John Lang looked worried, doesn't he always?

As entertainment it was top notch.
Rabbitohs could have a great 2011, if they learn how to close the gate behind them.

[G Las D]

Panthers are a different story. They are just lacking confidence. Some great players seem to be struggling to find their form. They just lack that edge they had last season. Having said that, Luke Lewis stood out for me, what an powerful strike force he is.
Broncos have notched up another win but didn't look anything special today. Still they won in a pretty safety first way again without conceding a try, or in this case any points, in the second half - job done!

Well, not a bad start for us tipsters. All of us have got off the mark straight away this round. From here on in our selections are more varied than has tended to be the case in previous weeks.
Not surprising I suppose seeing how varied the results have been in the first three rounds of 2011.

Raiders 22-23 Titans
Eels 22-20 Cowboys
Knights 18-20 Dragons

Only two took into account Orful Orford and backed the Titans!! Grrr!

And he looks likely to repeat in Rnd 5
" Canberra coach David Furner has retained Matt Orford at halfback for Saturday night's clash with Penrith, despite intense pressure on him to sack the former Dally M medallist. "
