Show Us Your Tips - Mens Premier Division Round 17 - August 16

[Norris Lurker]

Only two weeks to go, but with the teams in the top six playing each other this week, there's plenty of room for error this week.
With the washout at Sydney Uni No 1 last week, no points are recorded for that game. A bugger for Sydney Uni - they needed that game and they could drop out of the top five completely if they lose to Manly this week.

The tipping ladder in its current form:
Super strapper - 66.5 (3)
Norris Lurker - 62.5 (3)
justabaraker - 57.5 (2)


This week's matches:
UTS Bats v Inner West Magpies (Trumper Park, Saturday 12:40pm)
Manly-Warringah Wolves v Sydney University Students (Weldon Oval, Saturday 1:00pm)
East Coast Eagles v St George Dragons (Bruce Purser Reserve, Saturday 1:30pm)
South-West Sydney Blues v Pennant Hills Demons (Rosedale Oval, Saturday 2:00pm)
UNSW-ES Bulldogs v North Shore Bombers (Blacktown International Sportspark, Saturday 2:10pm)


My tips:

Feels like more than normal. A bit concerning - between forfeits and ground closures, some divisional teams have hardly played for weeks.
