Our tips stink here on www.wdnicolson.com... in fact, stink might be being too kind.
We are through 40 tips in 2014... and we haven't got to .500 yet.
YIKES!
However... are you doing much better?
Didn't think so... seriously this year has been a nightmare for tipsters.
But the good news is The Postman's Late Mail for all you Fantasy Footy freaks is back...
Remember our Game Previews are now purely the essentials in 2014 - I'll try to write very little fluff and you'll simply (entertainingly) get my read on each game and of course the Late Mail.

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'.
HEADS UP: We will have a new episode of NOT The Footy Show - sometime in the next fortnight. So keep an eye on your iTunes Podcast folders for Episode 151 in the near future.
Round 5 Tipping was just so ordinary - 3/8 and this tipping ship is very close to capsizing... still, let's get to the Tips!
All tips are subject to last minute changes, Game Odds/FootyTab are from Wednesday night and do not update thereafter. Times listed are stadium location LOCAL time.
Friday at Penrith 8:00pm
FOOTYTAB: PEN +2.5 Teams Analysed on our NRL Injured List
@NRLTweet's PREDICTION:Really don't like South Sydney's bench and that plus the game being in Penrith on a Friday night - tips me towards the Panthers. If the Panthers pack rotation can hold the Burgess brothers in check early - then Souths might struggle to score points and though Penrith don't do a great deal for me offensively - Souths need a massive game from Inglis to win this on the road in any kind of shootout. Panthers by 4 points.

Panthers - Does Kite come back in for Brown or Latimore? Yeo is named as 18th man possibly as cover for the backline (Whare is the one in doubt apparently). Simmons is not back for another two weeks at least.
Rabbitohs - Reddy is struggling with a knee injury so we may see the return of Champion in the centres or Johnston onto the wing and Goodwin into the centres. Still no Thomas Burgess yet, their bench will look a whole lot better when he comes back though.
