The NRL (National Rugby League) will start on Friday, March 11. If you wish to play, please stick your name on the list, and have a quick read through a few simple rules. - One point a correct pick, nothing for a loss. - Default if you forget to pick, wooden spoon score. - Tiebreaker will be HoF v Spoons. Largest margin wins, or if the margin is equal, total HoF count wins. - Deadline is kick-off in the first game, usually 7:30pm on Friday night. It could be earlier, if the NZ Warriors have a Friday night game at home. - Note; there will be NO bonus points in this comp. Last year, FussBudget and paper_aero chopped and changed for the entire second half of the comp before FussBudget prevailed. Regular podium-occupier, Sypher, finished third. Do you reckon you can beat these three? If so, join in the fun! (But please do not join if you cannot commit for 26 weeks.)

Bx, the English Super League and the NRL both play the same game, Rugby League. They have 13 players per side. The Heineken Cup (aka Euro Rugby), is a different game, Rugby Union, and they have 15 players per side. The Super 15s, who used to be known as the Super 14s also play Rugby Union. The 15 in the title is not related to the number of players in a team- it is the number of teams in the comp- five each from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The Sevens could be either League OR Union, but we are not tipping them - they have 7 a side, hence the name. Australian Rules is totally different to all of them, and they have 18 players. Soccer has 11, and gridiron has hundreds.  This comp (NRL) is Australian-based, with one team from New Zealand. Now that I have straightened all that out for you, welcome aboard!

Eraserhead and MrFox are suckers for punishment again. GO THE EELS!
wwe84, expect plenty of sledging, being at NSWperson and barracking for the Storm, but it's all in fun.

bx, it's simple. Rugby (Rugby Union) is played in heaven, Rugby League is not.

Forgot! Unless the threads slap me in the face I sometimes forget to look for them.
I'll start next week if that's okay but can I PLEASE have the tigers for Monday night if it's not the default tip?

And a big welsome to NRL for 2011. Fourteen players have signed up so far. A special welcome to our newest tipster, wwe84. Please do not give him TOO much of a hard time because he is a Storm supporter- I guess someone has to be.
Eraserhead has taken the lead in Round One with 5/8, followed by a whole swathe of players on 4. Sypher and ozzz2002, and by default, Copago trail the field with 3/8.
There were a few upset results- Nth Queensland toppling Brisbane at home was the first time they have done that for quite a few years- nobody picked it. Also, Newcastle destroyed Penrith- our Bronxter (?), BxBarracuda, was the only one to pick it. West Tigers lost to Canterbury and Parramatta beat New Zealand, in Auckland, which is always a tough assignment.

I am guessing that it is NOT Bronxitis. Bronxitis, I think that's the condition where da word "The" is replaced by "Da".

MrFox would just like to comment:
round 5 and 6 are a bit stuck in the past seeing as they were in 2001 and not 2011. Just a small typo I thought I should pick up on.
