Round 23 Tips

2014 National Rugby League Premiership
By W D Nicolson - August 13, 2014


6 from 8 last week - missing the Knights over the Storm and the Bunnies over Manly. And we'd all take 6 from 8 every week wouldn't we?

Quick quick tips for Round 23 - no time on our side with Thursday night footy back for the rest of the season.

The Postman's Late Mail is now - sadly - officially finished for 2014... it's out of my control, but better to be safe than sorry everyone. That's as much as I can say.

The NRL Tweet Player of the Year Voting Leaderboard is now up to date through Round 19 - the last public update until the end of Round 26.
ROUND 23 TIPS
|-| Rabbitohs v Broncos - Broncos by 6 points.
Broncos pack... please stand up.
|-| Eels v Bulldogs - Bulldogs by 6 points.
Bulldogs pack... please stand up.
|-| Raiders v Dragons - Raiders by 2 points.
Two words - HOO and DOO.
|-| Storm v Sharks - Storm by 16 points.
Storm could win by 40 really...
|-| Tigers v Roosters - Roosters by 6 points.
Roosters just... Tigers will rebound somewhat.
|-| Knights v Warriors - Knights by 2 points.
Knights... because I fear for Shaun Johnson's groin... did I just write that?
|-| Titans v Sea Eagles - Sea Eagles by 12 points.
Sea Eagles thank you.
|-| Panthers v Cowboys - Cowboys by 2 points.
Cowboys... JT beats Jamie in any book.

The Postman's Late Mail is now on hiatus for 2014... apologies but it is out of my control.

You can track each week's @NRLTweet Player of the Year Award Votes on Twitter via this link: #NRLTweetPOTY

The 'Special Fried Rice' picks have returned but given it is me v me, every week - I'll just be listing my 'SFR' of the week with the FootyTab Starts as the variation aspect to keep things interesting vs just saying 'this team will win this week - guaranteed'.

*www.wdnicolson.com makes no guarantees of decent picks every week - but we hope they are.
