2011 NRL PREMIERSHIP SEASON

THE NRL TWEET's ROUND 25 REVIEW
Here on www.wdnicolson.com we've got all the Game Results, Match Reports, Game Highlights, Game Stats, Injury News, Press Conferences and NRL Tweet Player of the Year Award Votes in the one place. This Round Review also integrates our NRL Injured List - which if you haven't bookmarked by now - I suggest you do so.
Player of the Year Votes are added as awarded by our panel - from Round 25 all votes go silent, all will be revealed on NOT The Footy Show's @NRLTweet Player of the Year Awards Monday 5th September at 7:30pm on ustream.
Fantasy League Leaderboard is updated Tuesday.

SPECIAL FRIED RICE - ROUND 25
- Waz 14/25: Panthers; Matt 21/25: Tigers; Dave 18/25: Cowboys; Nic 20/25: Broncos -
Note: The order in which Special Fried Rice (the game we guarantee that team will win) is chosen rotates - this week Matt had 1st choice, Dave 2nd, Nic 3rd and Waz 4th. So it isn't as easy as it sounds to tip correctly each week.
