    South's played well today after slow start, just watching the last game, Sharks doing a job on the Raiders.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I was just delighted the Knights registered a win. Some very good games this weekend, only one or two hammerings which makes for great viewing.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Was delighted for the Knights. Great celebration at the end.

    Sharks looked impressive. Panthers showing their stuff finally. Parramatta looking dangerous early too. Semi Radradra looking in top form. Storm vs Broncos on Thursday should be a great start to the next round.

    Good round this week boys I'm going to go :

    Storm v Broncos - this is going to be a dinger tough to call but I will go STORM WIN
    titans v Parra - as a doggies fan I never really want to see parra win... except this game Hayne is a (Rhymes with )banker PARRA WIN
    Bulldogs v Warriors - both haven't exactly set the nrl on fire yet hopefully a first win for the doggies DOGGIES WIN
    Knights v Bunnies - delighted for the knights last week but this is a bridge to far BUNNIES WIN
    Panthers v Chooks- what a game this is going to be could go either way really flip of a coin for me- ROOSTERS WIN (JUST)
    Cowboys v Manly- Cowboys WIN
    Raiders v Tigers- so close TIGERS WIN
    SHARKS v DRAGONS- battle of the shire this is going to be close too I reckon -sharkies win

    id be happy if I got even half these right tough week to predict

    Kasiano I'd be upset about the other two are overpaid flops at the moment so bon voyage. Not really a crisis most fans would be happy to free up the salary cap

    You are absolutely right. But the feeling from the fans is that they would be delighted if Dessie did move on. Me personally ,I dont think he has done too bad but he is certainly not a fan favourite.

    Good game so far this morning, Broncos just about hanging in there against Storm, one way traffic more or less apart from the breakaway try. 8 6 to Melbourne half time, and Billy Slater is back after a year.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Not a Broncos fan but they were pretty unlucky not to hold out. Poor discipline and officials who seemed to spot a lot more of their transgressions than the Storms.

    didn't see the match but the reaction on social media is the broncos were robbed. I will watch it later

    Yeah I watched it I didn't think they were robbed either. Apparently Munster broke his jaw . Storm look the best team so far ,you're right its going to be hard to beat them

    Video ref decisions maybe went against them, penalty count of 7 to Broncos 14 suggests decisions otherwise didn't go against them. I didn't think they were robbed but were unlucky not to hang on, with the manner of the winning try and don't think the ref had a particularly good game.

    Funny enough , I ended up watching the game with a bunch of actual NRL refs (long story) they reckon Gerald Sutton had a bad game but the Bunker stole that disallowed try. The momentum carried his arm over the ball as it hit the line , but he still maintained downward pressure with his forearm......try

    Excellent defence showed by the Bulldogs in that game, a deserved win, Warriors as painful to watch as ever. Getting feck all value out of "home" field advantage, one win from three.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Fair play to the Titans, brilliant effort to hang in there against the Eels, and manage to get to half time all square. Not sure they'll last the distance but great effort so far.

    Edit: well they've been excellent this half again. 6 minutes left, 12 in front. Some brilliant goal kicking from Taylor.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Yeah a lot of upsets this round. I was surprised to see the Cowboys spanked by Manly.
