NRL Round 8 Tips from The Postman | 2018 Season

2018 National Rugby League Premiership
By W D Nicolson - April 24 2018


3/8 - we're in serious trouble kids. 

This has just been a horrible year to tip. Heck I was celebrating back to back 4/8s only a week ago.

Good luck... because there isn't any of it below.


Tips for Round 8 2018

Dragons over Roosters
Saints... I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. Roosters forwards were good last week but the Dragons starting pack is outstanding. Saints I think.

Storm over Warriors

No Shaun Johnson in a game like this makes my decision much easier... can't believe I just openly admitted considered the Warriors here. What kind of year is this!?

Broncos over Rabbitohs

Flipping a coin... Sam Burgess being rightfully suspended is why I lean back to the Broncos. But seriously I'm tipping at 41% this year so don't listen to me.

Sea Eagles over Knights

Manly... I think. No Mitchell Pearce for the Knights and DCE and Tommy Trbojevic are fit - so Manly thanks.

Panthers over Bulldogs

This is in Penrith and I watch the Dogs 'play' first hand last Thursday... so enough said.

Sharks over Titans

Really like Cartwright at #6 but will go Cronulla because they were really really good last Sunday.

Cowboys over Raiders
I just don't know. I really don't. Guess it is in Townsville.

Tigers over Eels
Got burned really badly the last time these two played... Tigers please don't let me down again.

NRL Round 7 Tips from The Postman | 2018 Season

The Postman's Round 7 NRL Tips
2018 National Rugby League Premiership
By W D Nicolson - April 18 2018


4/8 two weeks in a row - now that's consistency.

The comp is only tough to tip if you ignore the Wests Tigers and Warriors like I have pretty much all year.

Good luck.


Tips for Round 7 2018

Roosters over Bulldogs
Surely Easts... but Canterbury just won in Townsville... I dunno, go Easts I guess. See instilling you with confidence already.

Dragons over Warriors

Can't rule out the Warriors at home but Saints haven't really given you a reason not to pick them yet. They snuffed out Cronulla's fightback pretty swiftly last week - a great sign if you go for the Dragons.

Storm over Broncos

Sticking with Melbourne - Brisbane win this and I might start taking them seriously though.

Rabbitohs over Raiders

Flip a coin... Souths playing well the last two weeks and Canberra playing well the last two weeks. Good to see on both counts.

Tigers over Knights

Finally picking the Tigers this year... we shall see.

Cowboys over Titans

Based on their record I'm foolishly picking the Cowboys yet again this year... if they lose this are they really just this bad?

Sea Eagles over Eels
You can't pick Parra... especially if you've done it way too many times this year already. Stick with Manly, let Parra win a game first before you waste another tip on them.

Panthers over Sharks
So many big outs for Cronulla... that said they are still a handy team on paper and are at home. But Penrith aren't travelling poorly so stick with the Panthers.

NRL Round 6 Tips from The Postman | 2018 Season

The Postman's Round 6 NRL Tips
2018 National Rugby League Premiership
By W D Nicolson - April 11 2018


We're back!

4/8 with a bullet in Round 5 - twice as good as last week!

I continue to wish you nothing but good luck with your tips... because the good luck certainly isn't with The Postman this season so far.


Tips for Round 6 2018

Roosters over Rabbitohs
Easts please.

Storm over Knights

Pretty confident the Storm bounce back... then again, this season hasn't played by the rules yet.

Dragons over Sharks

Cronulla... I want to pick you. But right now I can't. I won't... okay I might. But stick with Saints.

Warriors over Broncos

Again I lean towards Brisbane because I don't trust the Warriors... but the Warriors are 5-0 and at home. Let the disappointment commence for the first time this year.

Cowboys over Bulldogs

North Queensland are 1-4... but I shan't be picking Canterbury.

Raiders over Eels

Canberra were pretty good last week and Parra were joe average again. Just the kind of game Canberra drop and Parra rediscover some form... but Raiders it will be.

Panthers over Titans
Game is in Penrith - form says Penrith are going okay... Titans have been great the last two weeks, horrendous the week before that. Penrith thanks.

Sea Eagles over Tigers
Sorry Tiges... I may have picked the Warriors for the first time this year but I still can't break my duck for 2018 with picking the Tigers. Manly - esp if Tom Trbojevic returns.

NRL Round 5 Tips from The Postman | 2018 Season

The Postman's Round 5 NRL Tips
2018 National Rugby League Premiership
By W D Nicolson - April 4 2018


Okay... it might be time to give up.

2/8 in Round 4 after starting 0/4 is one way to look for a positive... as thankfully Canberra suck - allowing Manly to be the first favourite to win, then the Dragons took care of the Knights. But then the Titans and Tigers ruined any hope of a 4/8 weekend by being much better than their 'opposition'.

This has easily been my worst start to a tipping season in recent memory so I apologise if you're still relying on me but I'm confident I'm not alone.

Let's see what Round 5 brings.


Tips for Round 5 2018

Raiders over Bulldogs
Yeah... nah. In Canberra right?

Roosters over Sharks

Dunno... Easts have been good and terrible, Sharks mostly average. Probably should pick Cronulla at home but anyhoo...

Dragons over Rabbitohs

Dragons should make it 5-0.

Storm over Tigers

Hobbled Cam Smith and down Chambers and Finucane... I should be picking the Tigers but I just can't do it. Melbourne in Auckland... yeah, that's right.

Cowboys over Warriors

North Queensland are 1-3... the Warriors are 4-0... this is in Auckland and it's a double header so Mt Smart should be completely packed... just the tonic for the Warriors to remember they aren't that good and lose this.

Broncos over Knights

Guess I'll pick Brisbane... in Newy so no certainty at all.

Sea Eagles over Titans
Gold Coast in Round 3 v Round 4 was world's apart... Manly won't have Tom Trbojevic... this tip could change if I start to believe what I saw from the Titans last week I can see again.

Panthers over Eels
Sorry Parra... benefit of the doubt is gone at this point - so Penrith get the tip.
