Official Sherdog NRL 2009 predictions thread.

Welcome to the Official Sherdog NRL predictions thread.

On offer for the winner is a 2009 supporters jersey from the NRL team of their choice, delivered free of charge, regardless of location.

Competition rules.
1. All tips must be confirmed by Friday, 5pm AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) every week. If you don't make your picks in time, you will automatically get the away teams for that round. If any tips are edited after the cutoff time, the tips will be void and the tipper will receive 0 points for that round.
2. 10 points will be awarded for a perfect round except split rounds (see 3.) and 3 points will be awarded for a correctly picked draw.
3. Rounds 9, 12, 15 and 18 are all 4 game rounds and will not result in 10 points for a perfectly picked round. There will be no perfect round rewards during these rounds.

If anyone can forsee necessary future rule additions, please PM me.

The NRL Results from Round 1.

Melbourne Storm defeated St George Dragons 17-16
Brisbane Broncos defeated North Queensland Cowboys 19-18
New Zealand Warriors defeated Parramatta Eels 26-18
Canterbury Bulldogs defeated Manly Sea Eagles 34-12
Cronulla Sharks defeated Penrith Panthers 18-10
North Queensland Cowboys defeated Newcastle Knights 34-20
South Sydney Rabbitohs defeated Sydney City Roosters 52-12
Wests Tigers defeated Canberra Raiders 34-26

Prediction results from Round 1.

ovastayaa13 - 7
Ham_Roll - 6
the phantom. - 6
JordanLUFC - 5
Benji Snap - 5
Hinch - 5
blakethemus - 4
Sportman - 3

Congratulations ovastayaa13 for picking 7 from 8 and taking an early lead.

Anyone else that wants to join can still do so. Late starters will be awarded the away teams for the rounds they have missed. This week the away teams tallied 1 point with the Rabittohs the only club getting an away win. Still plenty of time to catch up though with another 25 full rounds to go...the earlier you get in, the less you'll have to catch up.

Let me know if there are any mistakes and I'll alter them.
