In some positive news for the the embattled club, Wests Tigers this week announced a new sponsorship deal with the aptly named Tiger Airways.

As a special treat to kick the business relationship off on the right foot, Tiger will be flying all 17 players, as well as the Coaching staff and administration one way to a destination of their choice. When put on the spot to pick a place to visit, Tim Sheens said he and the Team would like to go where their season is headed….the depths of hell. Still won’t help the Bunnies. Tigers by 36.

Storm v Knights Olympic Park, Melbourne Saturday 7.30pm
Eternally concussed Storm Lock, Dallas Johnson has scored himself a rather unique endorsement deal with toymaker Mattell to make a new children’s toy, in the same range as their popular and timeless ‘Mr Potato Head’ toys. Our Ninjas have got the inside scoop and can reveal the new toy has been heavily inspired by Dallas himself. In stores from next week, kids will be able to harass their parents for the new, best selling toy on the market…Mr Mashed Potato Head. Knights by 40.

Cowboys v Sharks Dairy Farmers Stadium, Townsville Saturday 7.30pm
After yet another alcohol related indiscretion, Sharks’ half, Brett Seymour had his contract torn up during the week in a continuation of the hard line stance the Sharks are taking on player behaviour. Whilst Seymour should have known better and deserved his comeuppance, it’s obvious that the Sharks player behaviour policy doesn’t stretch to the playing field, as grubby former Captain, Paul Gallen would surely have been sacked three seasons ago!

Raiders v Titans Canberra Stadium, Canberra Sunday 2.00pm
Canberra Captain Courageous, Alan Tongue has come out in support of his giant team mate, Thom Learoyd-Lahrs, publicly stating the big fella is ready to make his Origin debut for New South Wales in Origin III. I have to say I agree, with ‘He of the Unnecessary H’ displaying all the characteristics of a Blues Origin player for a number of years, such as several injuries, stints in reserve grade, missed tackled and disappearing for large parts of matches. Why not make him Captain? The Raiders should know never to trust someone with a hyphenated name, so it’s be Titans by 8 here.

Panthers v Eels CUA Stadium, Penrith Sunday 3.00pm
Considering you are reading this, you are obviously a big fan of completely useless information, so you’ll be pleased to hear that the Guinness World Record for most assembled air guitarists was broken in New York this week. Not to be outdone, the Panthers will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for largest waste of a group of peoples time in this match against the Eels. Panthers by 19.

Eagles v Bulldogs Brookvale Oval, Sydney Monday 7.00pm
Bulldogs forward Greg Eastwood made the papers last week with his subtle tribute to the late, great Michael Jackson after scoring a try against the Cows. It turns out The King of Pop isn’t the only artist that Eastwood has paid homage to in his career, with the rotund Kiwi also a huge fan of Weird Al Jankovic’s work. So, while most of you thought Eastwood was just a little too fond of pies, it’s now obvious he has just being showing his unabashed love for Weird Al’s hit ‘Fat’. Bulldogs by 6.
