The Roar's NRL expert tips and predictions, Round 9: Can Rabbitohs avoid a mauling? Roosters out for Bronco blood
Just when you think NRL tipping is getting easy, it bites you on the backside. Last round looked like a pretty open and shut…
Sportswriters Brett McKay and Ryan O’Connell are juggling multi-sport finals schedules in an action-packed episode 53 of the Cheap Seats podcast.
In this episode, Ryan is once again plagued by his pronunciations, while Brett explains just how many screens he can watch on a Saturday night (the nerd).
Episode 53 talking points:
– #AskTheCheapSeats: Wallabies scrums, finals rewards, dwindling crowds, and just how big of a nerd Brett is
– A surprising lack of #YouBloodyIdiots corrections
– NRL finals: Souths thump Manly, Penrith’s miracle win over the Roosters, North Queensland too good for Brisbane, Canterbury’s surprise demolition of Melbourne (and a certain prediction in episode 52), plus all the judiciary machinations
– Rugby: Wallabies beat Argentina almost in spite of themselves, Ewen McKenzie’s bench gamble offers little return, a cracker between the All Blacks and Springboks, and an NRC wrap
– AFL: North Melbourne and Port Adelaide eliminate their respective higher-ranked opponents, Geelong and Fremantle, leaving two cracking Prelim finals coming up: Sydney vs North and Hawthorn vs Port, and tribunal issues for Brent Harvey to boot
– Brett’s Tweet of the Week, and Ryan’s bricks-and-mortar certainty for the weekend
