The Crystal Ball - Round 6

G'day punters! It's time for round 6 of the greatest game of all. Here is what will happen on the weekend if you aren't able to catch a match



Manu Vatuvei to celebrate his 200th NRL appearance with a typical ‘BEAST' of a game: three tries and eight tackle busts alongside six errors and countless cheeky smiles.

Laurie Daley announces that his side will stay at a Coffs Harbour nursing home in the build up for Origin one, just in case Pat Richards is named in the squad. Daley wants to ensure the veteran feels at home for the build up.

Aidan Sezer walks out of his deal with the Raiders after finding out they are based in Canberra... James Tedesco and Kevin Proctor sympathise with his decision in the media.

Mitchell Pearce to throw Roger Tuivasa-Sheck a couple of secretly disguised hospital passes against the Broncos.

James Maloney refuses to do the same because the five-eight might have a job next season, after RTS chose to join the Warriors.

Jack Bird to have his wings clipped early on against the Knights by tough man Jeremy Smith. Welcome to first grade young fella.

NRL to announce they are looking into the Bulldogs salary cap. After all of their injuries and suspensions they can still name three internationals on the bench in Antonio Kaufusi, Frank Pritchard and Chase Stanley.

The greatest brawl in rugby league history breaks out in the Eels v Titans game, as Parramatta hit men Darcy Lussick, Manu Ma'u and Anthony Watmough square off against Gold Coast enforcers Nate Myles, Greg Bird and Dave Taylor. Throw your hard earned on Ma'u to be last man standing.

It's confirmed that Konrad Hurrell and Solomone Kata are the biggest centre pairing ever, combing for a whopping 250kg. Or the same numerical value of the entire Warriors squads IQ.

Sam Thaiday (due to start for first time since round 1) walks straight to the bench after coming out from the change rooms before kick off. It takes the Broncos 15 minutes to work out they have been playing down a man as they usually carry Thaiday anyway.


That's it from me punters. As always I hope your team wins but your back pocket wins more.
