Friday night...must be footy night!!

NRL and AFL picks for the weekend

I'm soldiering on with my first seasons worth of attempts at picking Aussie Rules and Rugby League matches....I'm sure to the amusement of some...but you never know!! I may end up doing half decent by the end of the season. We'll see come September!!

NRL

Well, I finished slightly above average in Round Three of the NRL, going 5-3 in Week 3 , but I had an exacta of sorts in correctly picking Penrith to beat Cantebury by 2, So currently I am 13-8 for the 2014 season.

Well let's see how we go with Week 4:

Sydney City vs Manly
Will give a slight edge to the Roosters here...
Sydney City by 6

St. George vs Brisbane
Dragons of course!!
St George by 10

Cantebury vs Melbourne

Both teams are looking for a bit of form....the Bunnies may get it first!!

Newcastle vs Cronulla
One of the two will get on the winning side of the ledger!!

Gold Coast vs North Queensland
Another in state brawl for the Cowboys...and on the road again

AFL

At the end of the season opening split round for Round 1 , I'm at the break even point 4-4 for tipping Aussie Rules football.

Jumping straight into Round 2:

St. Kilda vs GWS

Ok, that will do it for now....oh by the way...the Australian National Basketball League finals are under way with Adelaide facing Melbourne and Perth pairing up with Wollongong. 
In the end...Perth is always the hot tip for the title....let's go old school and make it the bitter Perth-Adelaide final this season!!

Enjoy the sports weekend..back with NCAA and MLB stuff over the weekend!!
