Doggies v Cowboys ... Scrappy first half. Cowboys got a lot of ball in 2nd half. When they did have ball they were short of both ideas and break-speed.
FT Dogs 12-24 Cowboys

Just started watching recording of Eels v Warriors.

Storm in good form on a red hot afternoon in Melbourne. A few too many handling errors will give Bellyache an opportunity to vent his spleen. A 30-10 strong win over Dragons though is a good start to the sea OK n given the weather and the amount of travelling they've done in the last couple of weeks. Good to see there's yet another blend of tough Storm forwards. Man of match: Cooper Cronk.

Were you in the sun or shade Bourbon Rat? Hope you took plenty of liquids on board.

[Bourbon Rat]

1st half in the sun - 2nd half overcast
Wasn't bad just a tad humid & most of the time there's a breeze blowing through our end of Aami Park.
And the team playing in that weather is a small taste of Townsville for next week
U20's also got a great 1st hit out !! then we got to see these two little trophies before the main event.
Crowd figures disappointing but lot's went to the Moomba events close by or a music festival,(people bought tickets months ago).

The competition will be appearing shortly.
I'll create a new table of results for this season's tipping competition and stick it to the top of the forum.
At the same time I'll release last year's competition results into the wild. It'll still be there, you'll just have to search for it if you want to see it.
