Best of luck everyone.

Yes I left Teddy out. He’s wonderful at his best but he has his risks too. I think the point about Paps snd Turbo is a good one. To have both is probably risky risky.

It’s true, buying Walsh would release some capital to spend on improving elsewhere

Okay then, this week’s poser. FB Drinkwater, TTurbo, Reece Walsh, Dylan Edwards, CNK, Papenhuyzen? You’ll want two of them. Which two? Ideally? Best value pairing?

Home wins, plus The Future is League.

Sunday’s R7 Matches

In Buy, Sell, Hold, Boston was a sell this week. I’m rather glad I held on to him.

Looking forward… Saturday’s R7 Matches Will have to miss the first match as I’ll be in the Land of Nod, not the place in Yorkshire, but asleep.

My guess, not long.

Great result for the Dolphins. What a great day’s tipping by me… not!

What a great performance by Dragons against a side whose defence was previously pretty solid. Hunt and Lomax caught the eye, but a great team job well done.

V Eels v Dolphins Preview Eels host their annual game up north in Darwin against The Dolphins. The ‘home’ side, the Eels, will be aiming to re-establish themselves in the top eight, meanwhile, The Dolphins will be intent on maintaining their own mostly positive start to the 2024 season. DOLPHINS Last week, The Dolphins lost to Brisbane Broncos, in a competitive match for a long while. Eventually, the Broncos prevailed with a 28-14 victory. H Tabuai-Fidow suffered a hamstring injury. Coach Wayne Bennett brings in Trae Fuller to take his place, while Sean O’Sullivan also joins the bench in place of suspended Anthony Milford. EELS Parramatta Eels were able to get back to winning ways with a 27-20 victory over the North Queensland Cowboys. Daejarn Asi had a good game at five-eighth (stand off half), while the reshuffled back-line was far better defensively than it had been in weeks past. This week youngster Blaize Talagi gets a place on the bench. The tipsters in our forum competition this week are split as follows Dolphins to win 6 Eels to win 10

Dragons v Warriors DRAGONS Shane Flanagan has made one forced change after last week’s 24-12 win over the Tigers. Jack Bird is ruled out after failing his HIA. Christian Tuipulotu comes into the side on the wing with Zac Lomax moving to centre. Lomax has been one of the best wingers in the competition so far this season, particularly under the high ball. WARRIORS Andrew Webster also has one forced change, with Jazz Tevaga suffering a hamstring injury. Adam Pompey moves into the 17 to take his place on the bench. Fresh off the back of a 22-all draw against Manly last week, the Warriors will feel they deserved the two points, after coming back from 16-0 down. Despite falling short of the win, they’ve proved they’re one of the most resilient teams in the competition. With Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad returning at fullback over the past few weeks, the Warriors’ attack has gone from strength to strength. In this fixture at WIN Stadium last year, the Warriors scored 48 points, with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak scoring four tries himself. The Dragons’ defence has hopefully improved in the meantime.
