The Postman's Round 19 NRL Tips
2018 National Rugby League Premiership
By W D Nicolson - July 19 2018
5/8 last week... full disclosure when Cronk withdrew I changed from Roosters to Titans... so went 5/5 to open the weekend then 0/3 on Sunday. Don't change your tips kids... unless 98% of the Roosters good players are out... but evidently still don't pick the Titans.
Tips for Round 19 2018
Eels over Bulldogs
Going with the class of Corey Norman and Jarryd Hayne to get Parra a rare win in 2018 here...
Sharks over Raiders
Cronulla can pretty much snuff out any danger the Raiders can present to Cronulla's Top 8 place with a win here - so I can't see the Sharks giving this one up.
Broncos over Panthers
James Maloney is fit and I pick Penrith... right now he's no certainty so going with the Broncos in Brisbane.
Knights over Titans
The Gold Coast have burned me badly on consecutive weeks... and Mitchell Pearce played out of his skin on his return last week so that's the deciding factor. (Watches Titans turn it on now).
Rabbitohs over Tigers
What a pity this game is at ANZ and not Leichhardt... Farah plays 250 and Sutton plays 300... hopefully some people turn up. Tigers capable but Souths haven't given you a good reason not to pick them the last 2 months.
Dragons over Cowboys
Surely the Dragons aren't a team about to go on a second half fade-out again... I mean I'd like to see it but surely not even a JT inspired Cowboys in Townsville can be enough... the Cowboys have been deplorable pretty much all year. Dragons would be on the verge of dropping out of the Top 4 in a fortnight if they lost here - unthinkable stuff.
Storm over Warriors
In Auckland so you'd think the Warriors are a better chance... until you see all of Melbourne's Origin reps on the team sheet again.
Roosters over Sea Eagles
C'mon Manly... wake up... it's Sunday arvo at Brookie... but pick Easts.
There's my tips - got your own?
