Back in the UK as the NRL continues

Melbourne Storm v Penrith Panthers

Curiously, I would have been more confident of a Melbourne Storm win had Penrkith smashed the Roosters. Now having leaked 38 points to a depleted Roosters outfit and endured the mproved side from last year and Matty Johns show focusing on a Panthers fan shaking his head at mention of the result, I expect the Panthers to show their calws here. That said Melbourne are and Dyklan edwards is out so its the Storm but not by much...

New Zealand Warriors v Sydney Roosters

Warriors unchanged from the Manly win. Roosters bring back Lindsay Collins, Specer Leniu and Victory Radley. Always difficult to get a result across the ditch if the Wahs are playing half decent and I do not expect lightning to strike twice so a Wahs win but not as much as I would have thought a fortnight ago. 

Brisbane Broncos v North Queensland Cowboys

The old Bronx made a return in the Capital and will be in receipt of a "Bronx cheer" indeed  if they lose to the Cows in the Queensland Derby. Broncos have the possible return of Kotoni Staggs while Todd Payten, under fire has recalled Jeremaih Nanai and Jasin Taumololo. Backing the Broncos in this one.

Cronulla Sharks v South Sydney

Sharks excel at keeping a COVID outbreak quiet then travelling to far North Queensland to get a result. Sharkies unchanged.  Souths bring back Jack Wighton from suspension. Souffs have ben resilent in going 2-0 to start the season but I do not see a third win at Shark Park.

The Dolphins v West Tigers

The Fins need as win and playing at Kayo Stadim in Redcliff would be the place to start with Jake Bostock returning. Wests romped home in the last 55 minutes against a poor Paramatta side after a turgid opeing 25 minutes. Doubts about Jahreme Bula possibly replaced by Heath Mason who did not do too badly at Campbelltown. The Dolphins need a win badly and I think this is the game they will put "the Hammer" down.

Gold Coast v Newcastle Knights

Khan-Pereira out for Gold Coast but Leo Thompson and the impressive Kai Pearce-Paul out for the Knights. This should not prevent the Novocastrians coming away with the win.

Paramatta Eels v Canterbury Bulldogs.

For the second week running Comms Bank will be colonised by the away fans with the Doggies barkingbfrom the sidelines. The $ 13 million dollar man Dylan Brown has not enhanced his value pver the ;past few Paramatta thrashings and for some reason it is felt unilely that the Foxx will be facing his old club. For sure the Doggies will be without Matt Burton and Villami Kikau  but Toby Sexton and Steven Crichton should be able to steer them round the park. Three heavy defeats on the bounce would increase unreast amongs the Eels faithful ands thats what may happen here.

Manly Sea Eagles v Canberra Raiders

The big question here is is Tommy Turbo and DCE though named in the side actually going to play and wil they last the game. They would be influential in what could be a high scoring shootout between the Silvertails and Ricky's Red Hot Raiders who have Xaviier Savage and Morgan Smithies back. Backing the upset here with the Raiders.

Melbourne take the points but Penrith probably take more out of the game for with a 14-0 deficit and Nathan Cleary off you would have thought the Storm would have cashed in but the Penny Panthers had

Young Cole impressed me today. Never seen anything from him that made me stand up and take notice, and think he’s got something about him but he really stood up and shone
