5 from 6 and only the Titans bashing the Sharks kept us from the mid-range perfecto. As a result of two good weeks back to back (shorter or not) the tipping success rate for the year is edging back to 65% - not quite the lofty 70.8% last year but we finished with a rush last year remember.
Back to the full rounds from here on and Thursday Night Football is back to stay. So don't get caught out missing an easy tip when it presents itself.
And hey - pretty early uploading of my tips all things considered!

Tips for Round 20 2017
Broncos over Bulldogs
Brisbane should put Canterbury out of their misery (finally) for 2017.

Roosters over Knights
Chooks should win this well even without a few key players. SKD up against his old team is an interesting subplot though.
Sharks over Rabbitohs
Cronulla bounce back in a big way - Souths to stay in it early but get run over late.
Panthers over Titans
Moylan plays and I'm more confident in this result. Titans lose this and they are pretty much cactus as Penrith are a team they need to rein in ahead of them for a Top 8 spot. Good matchup though - expect a quality game as the Titans are very capable on their day and are getting healthier.
Storm over Raiders
Canberra are at home and despite their tenuous playoff situation suggesting they could force an upset - you have to pick Melbourne in your tips. They lead the comp you know.
Cowboys over Warriors
Cowboys are playing very good and positive footy without JT and the Warriors begin life without SJ... Cowboys at home too.
Manly are no certainties here despite the last two months of contrasting form. You pick Saints at home and I don't think you are insane... but Manly are the logical pick based on form. But I've got a feeling...
Eels win this and they set up a situation where they need only 2 wins from their final 6 games to make the Top 8. As a result - I can't see them losing this if they are even remotely a fair dinkum footy team. You can't lose this game Parra - just like the one against Melbourne (sans Origin players) a few weeks back.
There's my tips - got your own?
