2011 NRL PREMIERSHIP SEASON

THE NRL TWEET's ROUND 26 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 26
- Waz 14/26: Storm; Matt 22/26: Broncos; Dave 19/26: Tigers; Nic 21/26: Dragons -
CONGRATS TO MATT WHO HAS WON FREE FRIED RICE FOR A YEAR!
Note: The order in which Special Fried Rice (the game we guarantee that team will win) is chosen rotates - this week Dave had 1st choice, Nic 2nd, Waz 3rd and Matt 4th. So it isn't as easy as it sounds to tip correctly each week.
