What do you put the improvement down to? Has Kevvie improved or have the players just matured? Mind, Walsh had had a bit of an impact

That just sucks. If anyone deserves any luck with injuries it's Ryan Papenhuysen.

Decisions not going the Storm's way, but they are royally stuffing this up. Bellamy will be apoplectic!

Broncos might regret only being 8 up given the pressure they have had. Storm won't be so poor in the 2nd half.

Very nervy start from the Storm.

Hopefully you will share your secrets with the rest of us before the 2024 season starts?

Not the greatest season, and as stated previously there will be a completely new coaching staff employed for 2024. Many thanks to @Graham for organising the competition and keeping the conversation going along with @Irish Saint. Looking forward to next year already!

Wests have given up. Most of them are already on Mad Monday in their heads.

Back up to 11 with Pauga named for Easts. Forgotten I had him. Tried to dump him weeks ago but he hadn't made enough money to be able to bring in anyone substantially better!!

I was asking more in frustration than expectation. I am happy to abide by the norm of sticking to my original tip, but I do appreciate the offer.

Now the Broncos have lost, can I change my prediction for the Panthers Cowboys game back to the Panthers, please?

My 11 has just become 10 with the news that Joey Manu won't play for Easts. Not surprised, given he pulled a hamstring last week.

Broncos vs Storm is difficult to call because I don't follow the Queensland Cup. Panthers vs Cowboys depends on the Broncos result, because Cleary will rest most of his team if they can't still win the minor premiership. Anyway .......

The tipping competition will be interesting as we have no idea how teams will line up for later games (particularly Penrith). As I don't follow the Queensland Cup, Broncos vs Storm will be a toss up as well!

I know what you mean. I might have 11 players this week .....

It would be nice if we had unlimited changes in week 27 to cover this happening. Even if we had saved 3 transfers and a boost it would be tough to field a full side this week.

If I had captained Ponga I would have won my public league head to head grand final. I chose Manu and list by 60. I think next week could be like a major bye round with the number of players I could have missing.

It's taken 24 hours for me to be able to write this, but also mourning the loss of Nicho and this weeks captain Joey Manu's hamstring. What an end to the season.

Ponga is a very good call. Honourable mentions to Hopgod and jumping on Reece Walsh early doors.

Anyone got extra problems this week with Edwards and Turuva being rested by Penrith on the same week Garrick is injured, Holmes is still suspended and Johnson has the bye? This is when I agree with @Graham that the bye system is a pain!!
