I’m hoping the Eels in 2007 will be to the Storm as Newcastle was to the Eels in 2001.

Otherwise I can’t see anyone beating the Storm at the moment.

I didn’t see it but I am sure the scoreline flatered them. Just like our 4-0 over Thailand.

4 thus far… would have been 5 without (altogether now…) Stupid Souths.

However gallant a performance they put on (held up in the last 15 seconds) their inability to get these close ones over the line has cost me the comp this year – I recon I’ve blown a good 7 points on them & I’m only 4 off the pace!

It’s frustrating in the extreme but (like Shaun & the Eels or Amanda and the Knights) it’s Soooooo hard to tip against them.

Passion overflowed in the O’Measles household on Sunday… little Cruella was in tears as would have been Giscard had he not been round his mate Nick’s.

Davo didn’t give a damn as usual.

Better luck next week Bunnies.

Hagan got the point on and off the field.

I tipped the Roosters, apart from that nada. Fug.

Woo hoo! Foxtel ran a replay of the ’81 GF after the Roosters v Sharks. What a game back then. Modern coaches would have trouble with the completion rates in those days but the defence and scrums were savage. And a great win to the mighty Eels.

And two upsets tonight back in 2007. Panthers played well as did the Roosters. Apart from Manly and the Storm it is still a lottery for the eight.

Other news is Lockyer is out for the season.

As much as it pains me Shaun, I can’t see Todd’s surrogate army winning tonight.

I’d also LOVE to see your beloved Eels upset this week but am fed up losing money on them (IOU $15 by the way)

Apart from that, there doesn’t seem too much scope for upsets this week unless the Knights (heaven forbid) decide to turn up and play like they did last week… damn them.

Alternatively, can Freddies Feather Dusters grow some nuts……? I think not.

I’m working this weekend so not much joy there..otherwise ageagoodone.
