Warren Smith must have had an aneurysm. Out of nowhere he suddenly pronounced Mamouzelos correctly. Maybe we'll live long enough to see Ennis learn how to pronounce Xavier.

Taylan May try was embarrassing for Souths

[Graham]

Lazy Souths allows Taylor May to score after some quick thinking by Dylan Edwards

Jacob Host gets 10 in the bin for an "Ilias tackle" on Schneider.

Try-scoring machine Luke Garner!

Turned out to be a walk in the park for Panthers.

Awful spectacle , not helped by Souths being beyond garbage and Referee Gee being in top referee Gee mode with 24 restarts and penalties 3 sinbins 2 reports and generally doing as much as possible to be involved

Manly v Canberra Preview

Manly Sea Eagles have shown what they are capable of in recent matches and will aim to maintain their top four spot as they take on Canberra Raiders. The Sea Eagles were too good for Eels as they made it four games without a loss.  on the other hand Raiders have lost their last two in a poor fashion. Their nilling at the hands of Cronulla Sharks last week will need to produce a reaction.

Manly is a tough place to go these days.

Sea Eagles to win then?

Our forum tipsters 

Sea Eagles to win 14

Raiders to win 0

Broncos v Roosters Preview

This is a good game in prospect as Brisbane Broncos host Sydney Roosters.
 

Broncos have won their last three and will hold no fear on home soil as they aim to gain revenge on the Roosters for their Round 1 loss in Las Vegas.

Roosters looked very good with the ball in last week’s win over St. George Illawarra Dragons.

What do you think? Does home advantage tips the scales in favour of the Broncos?

Our forum tipsters:

Broncos to win 13

Roosters to win 1

Not helped by 9 of every 10 seats in the stadium being empty. Shocking that only 8000 turned out to see the three peat champions face the iconic rabbitohs. Stadium is on the Western (penrith) side of the city so convenient for panther fans.
