Teams in 1st post

[Notaroboticfish]

Teams to get their first win of the season in Round 3: None of them

[Archer]

I think Manly might get up given its Brookie and I wouldn't be toooo shocked to see Roosters jag a win with Cowboys having another poor game (for their standards).

[-GD-]

I can see Warriors beating Storm

[El_Capitano]

I can see Warriors beating Storm

That was my tip as well

[Notaroboticfish]

I can see Warriors beating Storm

I can too, just don't think they will.

[RTW]

I have Cowboys to finish off a 5 leg multi with the others being a bunch of Premier league games. I will be pissed if the Roosters get them!

[Archer]

I think warriors will do a lot better given its at home but I reckon Storm might come away with it in the end.
Edit: Sorry RTW, for your sake (and because I'll get a good chuckle looking at the table afterwards) I hope the cowboys do them.

[gerg]

How the hell does Klemmer avoid suspension so consistently?

[DJ89]

I think people need to calm down on the Tigers start to the season.

Yes they have been good, but they have played two horrible sides. Any team that has Chris Lawrence as a starting back rower isn't going to have a good time.

[VictorTheViking]

The tigers defence is still shady...they allowed both opponents so far ample room to come back, the warriors nearly did

[DJ89]

Agree. A side that can control and limit their small periods of momentum won't have much trouble putting them away.

[bonehead]

The incorrect knock on call against manly should've been a try to parcell and scores even instead the tigs go and score in the next set to take a 10 point lead - simple as a ref error 10 point swing.

Yeah I thought that was a try

Yeah I thought that was a try

Or at least it should have been checked

[bonehead]

Couldn't check as he blew the whistle before parcell scored
