It's a sandstone headstone.
The inference being it marks a loss but it ain't permanent

That is for sure when it comes to the Dragons.....Even so they will beat the Tigers tonight

[Bourbon Rat]

Should be a great Friday night contest.

At least the Warriors won't be saddled with Archer this week. I did hear that out of 14 matches with him "in charge" we've won two.

I almost agreed with Barney there, and maybe I should have.
Time will tell, that's for sure.

Are you OK Barney? Tried to contact you yesterday and we all missed you at the game.
The place just wasn't the same. Hope all is well
It was really great!
We had a very kind ref who tried to help us by getting involved in one of our attacks. We were about 15m out with the whitewash at our mercy and he ran into our line - a two man overlap with no one in front of them and collected the ball from us. Unfortunately he didn't pass it on, he knocked it on.
You just can't rely on them can you? Good job he couldn't spoil the rest of our night's scoring though bless him, he did try!

Thanks GLD
I think the avatar worked OK but the signature didn't. We'll see when I post this!!

Warriors paid for a poor start with Ropati at fault twice. Why oh why doesn't Inu play???
Also we had a few "tries" disallowed. The TMO was correct in all cases but it shows how close we were.
Titans next week. Bring it on!

[G Las D]

333 Barney - didn't that used to be your number?

[G Las D]

I've just seen JimBroncos post..

I'll give it a few minutes thought and then respond.

Edited by G Las D, 20 March 2012 - 01:52 PM.

[G Las D]

To be fair JimBronco we've never counted entries in the past that have come in after the round has been completed.
On occasion we have accepted late entries on trust after one and sometimes two games have been played, but not the whole lot.
I hope you understand if I don't take your R3 tips into consideration.
It's just there has to be a cut off point, and that can't really be at the end of a competition or race or whatever.

By the way if you are away in future and would like to at least post your tips in advance please feel free to send them to me in advance via the forum's private message system.
Other tipsters do this when they go on holiday or work away for any number of weeks.
It may just be the poll comp you can't predict as the other comps follow the same pattern each week and the home/away comp just alternates.
I do know the poll comps for the season ahead and can let you know them for any weeks ahead you need them.

Cheers,
Graham

Round 3 Tipping Competition Awards

**********************************************

*** ***

The start to this season is proving a tough one for us tipsters.
Our strike rate as a team this week was just 40/88 tips correct which is 45%
Apparently we're all due a good week's tipping in Round 4. The comp will be posted shortly.

[thirteenthman]

Well done to RF and Barney

Apparently we're all due a good week's tipping in Round 4.

I'm due a win on the lottery as well, but that never seems to happen.

[G Las D]

That Cronulla v Sea Eagles game caught us all out.

The Sharks dominated for most of the game and thoroughly deserved their win. Manly's late scores saved them a bit of face.
Personally I expected more of Knights at home against Broncos without points machine Corey Parker but it appears they are not the real deal yet.
Panthers never looked like they were in with a shout in their bold pink shirt against a powerful Souths who ramped up the points ferociously
