South Sydney Rabbitohs v Sydney Roosters

How the punters tipped it:

Quotable quotes:

Roosters by 50 - Valheru (a Roosters fan)

Do you guys get sick of playing each other in Rd 1? - Card Shark

Chookes, we coming for ya. We've been stewing all off season waiting for this day to get our revenge. You are coming into our house, you will not be leaving with a victory. - Bunniesman

Has sonny forgotten about the shoulder charge rule - Fufu Andronez

Did Burgess just have a stroke? Learn how to speak... - maple_69

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs v Brisbane Broncos

How the punters tipped it:

Quotable quotes:

Hate to say it, but whenever a high-profile Bulldog changes club, the other clubs always win. - Bulldog Force

ATTACK DOG'S ATTACK WOOF WOOOFBARK BARK YELP YELP - 0neye (resident forum potplant)

I understand that the Dogs have shipped in a pokie machine to sit on the sideline as a ploy to distract Ben Barba. Bulldogs by 34. - Dogs of War

Tony Williams is hypnotic. Weak run, tackled, give tackler a dirty look, adjust pants, acknowledge the crowd, play the ball, look confused - gronkathon

Broncos are in the top 4! - BranVan3000

Penrith Panthers v Newcastle Knights

How the punters tipped it:

Quotable quotes:

I am sorry I just don't see the panthers doing anything this season. Terrible team. - Chicken Hunter (a Knights fan)

Panthers 28-6 Knights

sorry guys, just got back from the future... we sucked

Knights verdict: we lacked direction without Mullen. Tyront going off injured didn't help. The fwds tried and we had our chances but we just couldn't get over the line without our key playmaker

Panthers verdict: soward kicked us out of the game. Their lack of a big name superstar means they were a threat all over the park. They wont cause the roosters or souths any problems but they gave us plenty of headaches.

lemme know if youse want me to go back to the future again to see next week's result

Regards,
HuGzy - hugzy (a Knights fan - posted 4 days before the game… eerily accurate)

He (Uate) could get a gig for collington at the moment with the way he is fumbling the ball. - hineyrulz

Well, 2 positives:
1. Everything bad that could have happened did x10. Can only go up from here.
2. Dobson did well (he at least managed to stay on the field) - Noname36 (a Knights fan)

Very impressed with sandow. Took control and ran well. Good signs for 2013. - canberra_raiders2k2

Wow, 40 points and not 1 assist to Hayne, wouldn't have thought it possible. - chrisD

f**k this shit. I didn't stay up for this. Im going to bed. - Rebel (a Warriors fan)

The Warriors must be average if we're beating them easily. - whall15 (an Eels fan)

Manly Sea Eagles v Melbourne Storm

Cronulla Sharks v Gold Coast Titans

How the punters tipped it:

Quotable quotes:

Cronulla have quite a few injury concerns (Carney, Heighington, Gibbs, Graham and Ryan). I am beginning to lean toward a Titans upset here. - man2iel_

No way we should win this game with our side so disjointed. If we do, Titans have a long year ahead of them - miller was a legend

Sharkies have more wounded than the krauts had at Stalingrad-But it's a club made of stern stuff -Sharks to guts it out in a dogfight. - exile on main street
