That’s a strong Australia squad. Can anybody beat them?

Here's the awards animation as promised. Well done all.

What a great season it has been for our forum tipping competition. Congratulations to our overall Champion Tipster 2022 THE RED ROOSTER who was also our winner last season (2021) Thank you to everyone who has taken part during the season, especially to those of you who have been regulars or ever-presents. The tie breaker was needed this week. Of our 8 top scorers (see below) it was GRAHAM who of them was the closest to the points total and it's him who is this week's Champion Tipster. Well done our other award winners. The Red Rooster will receive a forum 2022 Champion Tipster image to use together with last season's winner's image that he sports in the signature section of his posts. I just have to create it. The awards for this week will follow shortly once I've created it. Cheers, Graham

The game is in progress, no more entries allowed.

Great to hear from you RF. I hope you are well and your family too. What a strange few (Covid) years we’ve had. Your kind thoughts are appreciated. Take care, Graham

Good luck everyone.

The stadium holds 83,500 people and it is expected that the attendance will be near capacity after the news of a sell-out. Eels and Panthers fans who missed out on tickets will be able to purchase tickets and attend 'live sites' at CommBank Stadium and Penrith Leagues Club.

My increased interest in Australian RL started when my own club here missed out on a place in the newly formed Super League. I continue to support my local RL club in the Championship but don’t have a SL club I support. I picked Storm to follow while they still played at Olympic Park. I chose them because I happened on their fans forum, The Bai Stand, and was made welcome by the good folk on there. Some generously sent me year books and memorabilia. George Fairclough was an early contact I made in a similar way. I enjoy seeing other clubs play, especially when they play expansive footy. So I’ve enjoyed watching Eels this season and Raiders previously, especially when they had a strong British contingent of players. I similarly enjoyed the Burgess years at Souths. I’ve tried hard to develop the forum, and along the way I thank so many others who regularly contribute (have contributed) and have added so much interest, knowledge and enthusiasm for Aussie RL and RL more widely. Thanks for your posts everyone. Cheers, Graham As for my tip for this game… I’ll wait until I’ve given it more thought, checked our the lineups and prevaricated a bit.
