I have been inundated with phone calls this morning demanding to know where my tips are (well one to be exact). So after a week of distractions with La Affair de Gower and the Passion of Petero joining the Panthers, time to get down to what it is all about.

A tad pessimistic perhaps given the game is a week away. And there could be a hint of reverse psychology supporting wise - if I bag ‘em they may embarrass me and win. But the NSW selectors have basically handed the third game to QLD on a platter with some extremely dubious selections for the [...]

I’ve had no internet and am only blogging now because I’ve got dialup so was unable to act on my hunch that the Swans would go down to the Collywobbles. Which is a bugger, because I was right. However I did pick the Tigers. Here are the tips, with only the Weagles to play the [...]

I tip by the end of the this round the pack of teams in the middle will start to spread just a little. Manly and the Storm are way ahead but it the Eels and the Tigers turn up, it will be a good chance to start clearing the rest of the field a bit. [...]

You’d think a club would be mad to let go of a player the calibre Petero Civoniceva. Well meet the Broncos who have signed Penrith’s Joel Clinton and let Petero go.
Petero is one of the best props in league and has loyally served the Broncos for 13 years. The Broncos cite the salary cap [...]

It’s completely pissing with rain and Five is moving house. The only plus there is that the soccer was cancelled this morning, but you can imagine that I’m bummed out. Not as bummed out as Central Coast and Newcastle people, but a bit bummed out. And my tips are late. However, I correctly tipped the [...]

As the post origin blues sets in, time to take comfort in the weekly round of the NRL. After 13 rounds the bottom teams are still only 2 points out of the eight. However that doesn’t take into account that most of those (apart from the Bunnies and the Broncos) have a negative points differential. [...]

Welcome to the live blog for State of Origin II. I’m off to have dinner and will be back for kick-off.
