Leaderboard
Voss: 7
Last week: 3
Alexander: 9
Last week: 4
Thursday 8pm @ AAMI Park
Voss: “Melbourne looked awesome in Round 1 and the big four are all on deck. I’ve got them beating Penrith,” Voss said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.
Alexander: “Last week was an aberration (from Penrith). At least I’m hoping it was.
“They’ll bounce back and they’ll need to bounce back against the Storm. I’m going Panthers”
Friday 6pm @ Go Media Stadium
Voss: “A great match-up but I’m going the Warriors to keep it going.”
Alexander: “I’m going the home side because I think home field advantage is paramount.”
__Friday 8pm @ Suncorp Stadium __
Voss: “The Cowboys have looked pedestrian and I think the Broncos, if they are on good form, will get them.”
Alexander: “It’s the Broncos for me.”
Saturday 3pm @ Sharks Stadium
Voss: “Rabbitohs are 2-0 but I will go the home side here in Cronulla.”
Alexander: “I’m also going the home side but not with 100% certainty. Souths have been plucky.”
Saturday 5:30pm @ Kayo Stadium
Voss: “I don’t know what to do. I’ve picked the Dolphins the first two weeks and I’ve been burnt.
“I’m going to go for the Tigers.”
Alexander: “I’m again going for the home team in the Dolphins.”
Saturday 7:35pm @ Cbus Super Stadium
Voss: “I’m going the Titans on the basis that they keep Kalyn Ponga to an eight out of 10 game.”
Alexander: “The Titans will win games because they can score points. Whether they can defend their way to victory, I’m still unsure.
“With the many outs for Newcastle, can Kalyn Ponga do it on his own? I’m going Titans.”
Sunday 4:05pm @ CommBank Stadium
Voss: “I’m tipping the Dogs. Their defence is real no matter which players they put out.
“I don’t see Parramatta scoring more than two tries.”
Alexander: “Matt Burton and Viliame Kikau being out for the Bulldogs gives the Eels a chance.
“I’m tipping the home side and tipping Parramatta. It can’t get any lower for them.”
Sunday 6:15pm @ 4 Pines Park
Voss: “I’m going to predict that Tom Trbojevic is out and I’m tipping the Raiders.”
Alexander: “Their form at Brookvale Oval is good so I’m tipping Manly.
“I’ve been super impressed with Canberra though.”
