NRL Tips for Round 10, 2007
St George Illawarra Dragons vs Gold Coast Titans at WIN Stadium Wollongong
Tip: St George Illawarra Dragons
The Dragons at WIN will be desperate to get the win here, and should prove too much for the Titans - who had a hiccup last week against the Roosters. No Webster for the Titans and the couldron that is WIN will be their downfall.
NZ Warriors vs Wests Tigers at Mt Smart Stadium, New Zealand
Tips: NZ Warriors
This should be a great game, and a very hard one to pick. The Tigers are in good form and aren't affected by Origin selections. The Warriors after some shock lossess will really pull out all stops in Auckland. Look for the NZ side to play physical and out muscle the smaller Tigers pack.
Parramatta Eels vs North Queensland Cowboys at Parra Stadium
Tip: Parramatta Eels
Not as one sided as everyone thinks. The undermanned Cowboys prove a danger to the plucky Eels and this match will be interesting considering no Jonathan Thurston and former Eel Ash Graham playing pivot. The soft, dewy surface as always will suit the Eels and they will be out to avenge last weeks loss.
Melbourne Storm vs Sydney Roosters at Olympic Stadium, Melbourne
Tip: Melbourne Storm
Melbourne will be too much for the Roosters, who also lose some key players to Origin duty. The Storm at home will rain down on any Roosters parade. Look for rookie Storm players to stake their claim in the top grade and for Billy Slater to have a blinder in the face of missing Origin selection.
Bulldogs vs Cronulla Sharks at Telstra Stadium, Sydney
Tip: Cronulla Sharks
The Bulldogs are rarely outsiders in most people minds, but their recent form and loss of Mason for this clash really hurts them. They have a spare parts or trial halves combination and many players that aren't playing well in the outside backs. Look for the Sharks to dominate through Luke Douglas up front and guys like Greg Bird to give the rough stuff back to the usually gritty Dogs. Cronulla have Dykes and Kimmorley pairing in the halves and are sure to be hard to contain.
Manly Sea Eagles vs Brisbane Broncos at Brookvale Oval, Sydney
Tip: Manly Sea Eagles
Both sides heavily affected by Origin stars missing, but the Broncos really are fielding a reserve grade side. Expect to see Orford get some form back here, as well at Monaghan to play well after putting contract discussions behind him. Manly should do this comfortably. And Brooky faithful will turn up in droves being a Monday night game.

NRL Tips and Predictions Round 9
Manly must be tipped at home to Parra. The stats read something like only 13 wins from 50 games at Brookvale for the Eels.
Sharks and Broncos are hard to split, the bookies have both teams paying $1.90 for the win. Home advantage and last weeks form swings the tip the Sharks way.
Knights v Warriors at the Knights Dome. Another game that is very hard to pick, Knights were patchy last week and the Warriors will be keen to make amends for their shock loss. Expect Warriors to come out firing – and should get home.
Cowboys should easily account for the awful Penrith pack up north. A tough trip for the Panthers and they will come home with their tails between their legs.
Rabbits will be extremely keen to notch up a win, after some indifferent form. Rabbits have been losing by tiny margins and will have too much fire power at home for the young Raiders – out of their nursery.
Roosters are my tip for the upset of the round. They face the exciting Titans at Aussie stadium. The Titans copped a dusting last week, but they faced a hot hot
Tigers get my tip over the young and wounded Dragons. Saints are on the improve but won’t have enough for the inform Tigers this week
Storm at home, always a *must* tip – but the Bulldogs won’t be pushovers. The Doggies love these tough battles and will relish the challenge. Just impossible to tip against the Southerners at home.
