I know the season hasn't started yet, but I'm think the Canterbury Bulldogs will go 1 better this coming season. I would also expect a biig season from South Sydney.

This article has a little more detail about who's in and who's out.

Really nice weather today. Clear & sunny and it will reach 29-30°C... almost too warm to think about footy.
It should drop down to the low 20s at kick-off.

I'm hearing up to 14 Cronulla players are under investigation for PED use. That's a massive blow to the start of their season.

I'll wait for a few more results before tackling the Table.

right 3 games done , i think the table needs doing now and just leave it like that for the rest of the season

Great win tonight for Parra. You must be stoked! Some super tries. Did you watch it?
Cowboys won the other match over the Bulldogs 24-12.

I like the look of that table , i hope it stays that way for awhile

Much better than last year isn't it?

Penrith have mauled the Raiders 32-10 and the Storm had a 30-10 win over St George-Illawarra at AAMI this afternoon.

Cronulla leading the Gold Coast 12-6... 20 mins to go.

The Sharks hang on to win 12-10 at Endeavour Field.
The fans deserve that one after a hell of a week leading up to the game.

Table updated. Knights just in front after the first round.

Canterbury 20 - 16 Parramatta
Brisbane 22 - 6 St George-Illawarra

Round 2 complete. Table updated.

Melbourne beat Canterbury 22-18 at AAMI Park. Not a bad effort from the Bulldogs but the Storm had enough in the tank to see them off.

well that didn't last long did it

They were still in the Top 8 until Monday night.

Manly have shut out the Tigers 26-0 at Bluetongue.

thats a good result

They played to plan... they are a very disciplined side. The Tigers were well covered.

That sort of surprised me. I thought it would be much closer.

i didn't think they would nil them

Table updated...

Kenny, I had a gut feeling the Eels would win that one. We both tipped them too!
It was a classic match... the opposite of Monday night.

A couple more upsets this afternoon.
Dragons 19 Newcastle 16
Canberra 24 Roosters 22

The Warriors gave the Bunnies a scare too but lost 22-24.

Bulldogs now bottom of the table after the Warriors on points diff.

Looking forward to the West Tigers v St George-Illawarra "Men of League Heritage round" match at the SCG today. Brings back memories....

Close match at the SCG but the Tigers missed Benji and had trouble cracking the solid Dragons defence, losing 12-13.
Nice to see Norm Provan and Arthur Summons reminiscing about that famous muddy 1963 GF before the match.

Parramatta were up 22-8 with about 15 minutes to go but were then overwhelmed by the Titans who score 20 unanswered points in the closing stages.

Thought that pass for the first try looked a bit forward?

Now a Kiwi try disallowed - lost control planting it down.

32-12 final score.

LB

Everyone over here was very impressed with Foran in the way he took up the captaincy (at short notice). Maybe Tovvey might look sideways at Jamie Lyon next week at training!!

He's a great player Foran.

I wouldn't mind him playing for NSW. Better than Pearce by a mile... and players like Soward and ex-Bondi Braith.

I think Lyon is a legend for the club but you're right, Foran would be someone in Toovey's sights once Lyon retires. Maybe he will in 2 or 3 years I heard.

I was chatting with a very knowledgeable chap at the game last night. (he had the Broncos-Bunnies game on his little screen)
He agreed with me that Adam Reynolds would make a better half-back in the Origin side than Mitchell Pearce. He's blown it before... yet Laurie Daley has already made up his mind and says 15-17 players are already selected. So frustrating!

Bulldogs 40 Tigers 4

Very entertaining game if you're a Bulldogs supporter. I was sitting amongst the Canterbury faithful last night... they are starting to talk things up again.

James Graham and Sam Kasiano had big games as did Tolman. Josh Reynolds had the ball on a string.... some serious skills there.
He wouldn't look out of place in an Origin jumper. Sam Perrett was on the end of some great backline play and scored a couple of tries.
Ben Barba looked dangerous and is gathering more confidence as evidenced by that mind-boggling run near the end.

Poor old Tigers. It started badly for them and it just got worse. Benji had an OK game back from injury but as always he was ahead of his team mates and probably asked to much of them... or they simply couldn't finish off the opportunities he created.

Brisbane 12 Souths 26

Some good games on later today.

Melbourne should give it to the Raiders but interestingly, Canberra have a decent record down in Victoria. It could be a blow out for the Storm but it could also be a close run contest with a try or so in it.

I just have a strong feeling we will see a different Parramatta this evening when they play the Cowboys. There was another interesting stat: teams which got hammered the week before had about a 33% win rate the following week.

The Cowboys haven't exactly set the world on fire and they have a horrific record when playing in Sydney.
Sort of hoping that trend continues.

Good luck Kenny!

Laurie, I think the Warriors will play well too!

Big Manu back and the Titans missing Ashley Harrison (ankle), Luke O'Dwyer (broken jaw) and Matt Srarma (hand). Gordon out with a hamstring injury too.

Also tomorrow; the Knights should win comfortably over the Sharks up in Newcastle. They are gathering momentum.

The Roosters should also beat the Panthers but after last week's match you never know which team will turn up. Their record isn't too bad against the Roosters either. A bit of a bogey team at times but the Roosters look as though they will have more than enough this time.

Raiders doing well. 12-all at HT.

24-20 to the Raiders who were leading 24-12 a few minutes ago. 62 min

Canberra win 24-20 ending Melbourne's 15 match winning streak.

Ryan Morgan scores after 1 minute. 4-0 Parra.
