Tuesdays Expert Wrap

Tuesday's Expert Wrap - Round Ten : 14-17 May, 2010

The events and teams that caught the eye of the Expert this week..

It was a round of hat-tricks in the NRL. Akuila Uate, Greg Inglis, Michael Jennings and Nathan Merritt all scored three four-pointers to help their respective sides to pretty convincing wins. The Expert reckons Inglis is in some killer form at the right of the year - Queensland supporters, look for the imposing centre to have a big influence on this year's Origin series.

Souths: The Bunnies recorded their biggest ever win at the SCG to move up to fifth spot on the ladder. Their opposition, the Tigers, were left apologising to fans but the Expert can see them bouncing back next week against the Knights.

North Queensland: Are the biggest underachievers in the NRL at the moment. With Luke O'Donnell and Johnathan Thurston returning from injury, they were at full strength against the Warriors yet turned in a display full of errors. Defence is their biggest problem though, they've conceded the equal most points (256) so far in 2010.

Also, credit to the supporters in this year's heritage round! We had three crowds over 30,000.
