$48 for a slab of Reschs? You gotta be kidding me! Not even real beer. Cheap cane sugar rubbish.

All i will say about tv coverage is that Manly , Uni , Eastwood and Warringah feature a lot
The chicken entrails have been read. This weeks tips are:
Eastwood v Gordon. Woodies by 25+. Double meat to John Grant
West Harbour v Randwick. Wicks are desperate to stay in the 6. If they can run the Pirates fatties around, they will win by 10-15. If they get dragged into an arm wrestle in the piggies, then the margin will be <5.
Southern Districts v Penrith. The Emus let me down last week after I tipped them. The Hobbits at Forshaw are always strong and they will get the biscuits by 15-20.
Manly v Parramatta. Even if the big fella with the long name is playing, the MMM will scamper home by > 25 points. I can also predict that they will sell out of Olivers Pies.
Northern Suburbs v Sydney University. How many Soup players will trot out with the Corporation? Students by 20.
Warringah v Eastern Suburbs. Have the Beasties got another "Eastwood" match in them? Bolstered by their Soup players, this is my tip for the upset of the week. Beasts by <5.

That's be expected isn't it?
They are the 4 best teams this year,by some margin.
You think they should ignore 2 plays 3 in favour of 7 v 11?

Big Arse, I heard that McKibbon,Lance & Lam are all out.
With all due respect to the selected players, I think they are going to struggle at 9,10,12 This week.
If the Beasties are without rock stars then the Rats will win comfortably by 15 + points.
Dunno where you get your beer, BW, but I can assure you Reschs is still brewed by Carlton. Reschs Real and Reschs Pilsener (aka the silver bullet) are still readily available.
Two interesting points here:
1. Carlton seem to have an emotional attachment to their minnow brands and don't discard/delete them. Until recently Carlton Light, Reschs DA, Tooths KB (Kurtley Beale) (in the crinkly gold can), Carbine Stout and a coupla other daggy old brews were still on their books. Some years ago they had about 12 brands with less than 0.5% market share in NSW. Lion Nathan (Tooheys), on the other hand, shoot brands once they drop below 5%. Tooheys Classic, Hahn Longbrew, Tooheys Blue Bitter and Blue Bock, Sydney Bitter are all in the brewers' cemetery.
2. This will come as a shock so it might be best to have some strong drink to hand, Carlton no longer brew in New South Wales. Yes, that's right, that NSW standby, Reschs, is brewed at either Yatala in Queensland or Abbotsford in Melbourne. Same with Tooths KB (Kurtley Beale). Tooths Old is now called Kent Old Brown and is also brewed interstate. Bit hard to support Carlton when they don't have a brewery in Sydney, Australia's biggest city.

Lindommer, since Kent Brewery closed about ten years ago it's not really much of a shock!

Deegan played very well.

The thing that struck me today at Wests v Randwick was the massive difference between the two sides in terms of coaching. At set piece,particularly lineout Randwick look very well drilled. They've obviously put in a lot of work. Wests was the same old rubbish. Look like they had their first run together in the warm up. Randwick have definite patterns of play where players know exactly where to be to execute. Wests are mostly a schmozzle playing off the cuff stuff that occasionally results in something brilliant but usually just ends in confusion and turnovers. Respect to the coaching staff at the Wicks they certainly taught the Brave New World of West Harbour a lesson today.

12. West Harbour (1) Vs Randwick (4)
13. Sydney Uni (4) Vs West Harbour (2)
Two observations: Western Sydney stops at Concord and ....
it looks like the same firm who does the draw dabbles with the media decisions.

I do think round 4 - 11 being match of the round though, that's 8 outa 13

Of course Match of the round is important and should make up the majority of TV games. But let's not forget that Rugby at this level is all about the clubs,the players obviously but also the coaches and managers through to the canteen staff and the blokes who pack away the gear while everyone else is having a beer. Not to mention the parents of the players that get on tv. For some clubs and some players a TV game is a Really Big Deal and I don't think it hurts to SHARE THE LOVE with everyone!

I gotta say Concord looked magnificent today. A credit to the groundsmen. Some grounds in Club Land look like there was a B & S Ball held the previous day and the field was used by an army of drunken country V8 Ute fanatics doing circle work!!
