ROUND THREE OF THE NRL PREMIERSHIP SEASON 2010
Friday
V
Tigers v Eels
TIGERS The effort in defence was woeful against the Roosters. Get some troops back in Payten, Gibbs & Ryan for Eels @ SFS. They need them!
EELS Do you love the old school Parramatta logo & jerseys? Tahu try was special for 2 reasons - Hayne's run & Timana's hammy not snapping.

Dragons v Cowboys
V
Dragons v CowboysDRAGONS Quick starts in both games have been defended superbly for a 2-0 record. Is this the week Jamie Soward explodes in attack?COWBOYS Neil Henry won't be pleased with giving up big starts in both games, even at 1-1. Fitness has made Scott Bolton a real factor.
Saturday
V
Panthers v Storm
V
Panthers v StormPANTHERS Wasn't a shock to see them get run down in Townsville but they must now regroup for the resilient Storm at CUA on Saturday.STORM Brett Finch willed the Storm to victory over the Knights. Cooper Cronk back for Penrtih but lose Adam Blair to 'The Tent Peg'.
Saturday
V
Sea Eagles v Knights
SEA EAGLES Two ugly losses considering they led 20-4 & 20-0 in both games. Still the positive is they DID lead. Must hold on v Knights.
KNIGHTS Should have learned a lesson from the Storm that possession alone doesn't win you games. 'Home' game v Manly @ BlueTongue Sat.

V
Titans v Raiders
TITANS Yet to execute their game plan smoothly but are 2-0 with the Raiders visiting Sat. Having Preston Campbell back is a big bonus.
RAIDERS Bad habits from 2009 almost cost them victory v Broncos. Shaun Fensom is a real find in the backrow. Tough road trip @ Titans.
NRL Tweet's Prediction: TITANS by 4
BRONCOS Brisbane rookie Matt Gillett is a real talent. Had enough possession in 2nd half v Raiders to win 4 games. Warriors visit Sun.
WARRIORS Cruel blow losing Brett Seymour with busted thumb & his replacement James Maloney could be suspended. How about Manu Vatuvei!

Bulldogs v Roosters
BULLDOGS Effort turned up after 20 minutes v Dragons but it was already 16-0. Ben Barba or Ben Roberts at 5/8 Kevin Moore?
ROOSTERS Hard to believe it was 12-0 Tigers in a game Sydney won 44-32. The Pearce/Anasta/Carney trio is producing the goods so far.

Sharks v Rabbitohs
SHARKS Don't quite understand Ricky Stuart's delay in 'blowing up the backline' until Round 3. Still it's a start... Souths at Toyota.
RABBITOHS John Lang resting Asotasi, Burgess, Stuart & Taylor in favour of the bench for 20min cost them dearly. Won't happen v Sharks.
