Don't know why I tipped the Cows... Seems obvious in retrospect that the Knights strike and new faces would have made them favourites.

Thanks Graham!

I forgot to vote in the poll, Graham.

Just to be clear, my vote was for the Sharkies over the Titans (although not looking likely with Melbourne just hitting 50).
