Doh! Totally forgot the tips in the mad rush that was last week. here's this weeks

Penno
Wests
Campbelltown
St George

[shearer]

Penno by 2
Norths by 118
UNSW by 70
St Gorge by 40

[NS20]

Do you have some affiliation with Wests Phil? You cant seriously think they stand any chance against North Shore...
East Coast
North Shore (by plenty)
Campbelltown
St George

[shearer]

The only thing i can think of is that Wagener will be underwater and a mud heap and that will MAYBE bring the skill level down.

But after seeing both Norths & Wests close up in the last few weeks i still stand by Norths by 118.

[Phil Doyle]

Stranger things have happened. Can't think what, but I'm sure they have.

[the manager]

East Coast
North Shore
Campbelltown
St George

[Lensman]

Just a note to all - especially phil...

Wests V North shore will be played at Bankstown Oval
Campbelltown and UNSW/ES will be played at Monarch...

does that change your mind ?

Only two spring to mind - the spontaneous combustion of the Mayor of Warsaw in 1546, and that incident in 12th Century Burgundy when it rained herring.

Pennant Hills 18.8 (116) d East Coast Eagles 12.10 (82)
UNSW-ES 12.16 (88) d Campbelltown 10.7 (67)
St George 30.22 (202) d Balmain 7.7 (49)
North Shore 21.17 (143) d Wests 8.8 (56)

Campbelltown ----------- 11 7 4 0 897 847 105.90 28

Pennant Hills ------------ 11 6 4 1 956 1025 93.27 26
=============
UNSW/ES ----------------- 11 5 4 2 970 823 117.86 24
East Coast Eagles ------ 11 4 7 0 806 855 94.27 16
Balmain ------------------- 11 2 9 0 718 1239 57.95 8
Western Suburbs ------- 11 1 10 0 673 1108 60.74 4

Pennant Hills set up their win in the first half, kicking 11 goals to 4 to rack up a 42-point lead at the long break. Peter Berbakov was the dominant player out there until he injured his arm, kicking 4 goals and setting up quite a few others. The Eagles fought it out, and won the second half when it could so easily have been a blowout.
Looks like UNSW-ES are making their move after a slow start to the season, and they're only half a game out of the 4. Their game against St George at Village Green could be an important one for how the final 4 shapes up.

Alas, no herring (where are they when you really need them!), but there was a spontaneous combustion of sorts from wests after leading at quarter time.
