NRL ladder explained The NRL has a simple points system: victorious teams earn two points for a victory, while losing teams earn zero for a loss. There are two points for a bye. If a match is tied at the end of 80 minutes of regulation time, there are two five-minute halves of golden point, where any score will be the match-deciding one, be it a field goal, try, or penalty goal. The match immediately ends at that stage. If the two teams play out a scoreless golden point period, the match will be declared a draw, with both teams earning one point. There have been 12 draws since the introduction ..read more

Another round of games which will be closer in reality than they look on paper... New Zealand Warriors v Gold Coast Titans Bad result for the Wahs at the 'gong last week and Shaun Johnson is playing injured. Though the Wahs have home advantage, Keiran Foran walked the Titans around the park against Manly and playing the way that they did in that game you can see them getting a result sooner rather than later. Titanic upset on the cars? St George-Illawarra Dragons v Sydney Roosters At Allianz Stadium, and a sellout as the In-form Dragons take on a moulting Roosters outfit. Who would have though ..read more

Another round in which tipsters are confounded by teams blowing hot and cold from week to week and the Bunker intervening to alter the momentum in games. Almost every contest in this round could be called either way. Sydney Roosters v Melbourne Storm Big time match up between two sides almost at full strength. Another contenders or prtetenders game for both clubs  Golden point anyone? St George-Illawarra v New Zealand Warriors Normally I would be loathe to go against the Dragons at the 'gong but for the Warriors the journey there is less fraught than it would be for an Australian side in ..read more
