My tips for Round 14
Sydney University v West Harbour. Uni too composed and too fit. Corporation by 20.
Penrith v Warringah. Rats on a roll. Too fast out wide, and they will win by 15-20.
Gordon v Northern Suburbs. About time for the Shoreman to show some ticker. Bonus points all round but the Red and Blacks to win by <7.
Parramatta v Southern Districts. Harder to pick than Bill Lawry's nose. M2B at home will be tough but Hobbits by 10.
Randwick v Eastwood. It will be a massacre at Coogee Oval with Wally Meagher spinning in his grave faster that the scoreboard will rack up points for the Woodies.
Eastern Suburbs v Manly. The unbeaten streak will continue. 20+ points to the Marlins.

Alofa, Kepu, Betham and Skelton were born in Nz and Latu was born in Tonga. The remainder were born in the west of Sydney.
Anyways moving on, I'd probably have the same tips as above however I think the Hobbits can get over Parramatta as well as Norths over Gordon.

beasties field goal on the bell to beat the Marlins 19-18...not the best of games with Marlins dropping a heap of ball but Beasties never gave up and in the conditions the last play was superb..great pick up and go from the back of the scrum some great pick and drive and a great shot through traffic and a lot of wind. Bad luck Marlins and go the Beasties...Big Richie played his 100th today fairytale finish for him.

To think i nearly dropped in after completing junior rugby duties
Beasties = 2014 Giant Killers. 50 points on the Woodies. Beat the MMM's.
What's the next surprise from the Wise Men from the East? They usually deliver 3 presents according to the historical annuls.
I think I will be eating a fair bit of humble pie tonight after those tips.
Just hope that the pie doesn't have a Pony flavour.

Hate losing, a hard tuff game as @scaraby said.
This isn't an excuse - dropping a heap of ball, and the bounce of the ball - it was one of those days. An example within the first 10 Maile looked like he had crossed the line and scored, but the ball went inside and spilt - no try. It just didn't go the Marlins way today.
Hate losing.
Fusion Point Cafe Porecki had a great game today and finished off on the side of the scrum.
Coope Building Peterson continued his good Shute Sheild form.
It wasn't a backs day today

Gordon beat Norths 44 to 7
^^^ Great win by the Highlanders to give me enough humble pie from my tips this week to choke on.
Any lower grade scores from Gordons vs Norths, @E&E?

No exact scores. IIRC Gordon won 2s about 25 to 7. Norths won 3s and 4s. But don't quote me.

Interesting, how did he go? Guessing well given the players he was up against? Does he have a future there?
It is what it is
John Solomon (38)
He came limping off halfway through the 1st half.
He is definitely a No 8 though.

If only Wests could get a bit more go forward from that pack they would be a whole lot better side. On the few occasions they smashed over the ad line and got quick ball they looked very good. Sai has done really well filling in for Harvey but today just wasn't his day at all. How fierce was that wind? The defence of the outside backs at Wests is just not up to standard.
The tackle on O'Sullivan in the opening minutes of the game should have been yellow card if not red. There's a reason the Cumberland throw has been banned since the 70s and that reason is it's fvcking dangerous!! The TMO must have seen it a dozen times on replay yet nothing is done. Player safety is THE priority in contact sports. The officials have done a poor job.
