For those who take it way too seriously
Ok peeps, injuries are starting to heat up, the top 8 is settled and we're in the upgrade period.

Also, Carn the Blues.
We picked up one on bookies favourites last week (to go two ahead of that benchmark for the season – 6 different tips for 4 wins and 2 losses so far) as the Saints did our model proud in overcoming in the Demons. See over for our Round 7 Tips
And for this week’s feature article – we take a statistical look at the assertion in the media this week that the Top 8 may already be decided just 6 rounds in.

Interesting that Libba and Kerridge are both named. Prepare your emergencies!

PARKER!!! – the curse, if there ever was one, has been broken by Parker who smashed it in with 151.
Well done to all those who picked him up instead of an Ablett or a Mitchell – but both of those should be good upgrade targets in a few weeks.
This week I couldn’t think of an obvious injury impacting a lot of teams so I have just gone with a player who seems to have turned it around.

ORRFA Review - Round 6
Larrikin Lagoon Lefties 1051 def by Marble Bar Misfits 1234
An impressive performance by the orange tsunami ensured a day out for coach Len. The Misfits overcame a pretty shit performance up forward to overwhelm an ordinary ‘Goonies outfit. Five tons to zero in the Misfits favour tells the story, with coach’s love children Ward, Kelly, Whitfield and Williams all raising the bat. As for the Lefties, well, just one of those days I suspect the coach would soon forget. A 49 from the usually unstoppable Goldy says it all really. And who would have thought someone would say that Goldy had his arse handed to him by Andrew Phillips (91)?
Following an evening spent at the Bar’s HQ, combined with the completely shite performance put up by the ‘Goonies this week, conspiracy theories are in full swing as to what dodgy tactics were employed by the folk from the Bar. Misfits by name, as they say….
Venus Bay Vultures 1364 def Gundagai Grasshoppers 985
Splat went the ‘Hoppers as Fitzy’s Vultures continued their bright start to the year and dished out an old fashioned beating to sNoZ’s mob. Parker (151) dominated in the middle and was well supported by Greene and Crisp. Hulk Hogan went into full beast mode up forward as he booted a lazy 7 on his way to 139.
Following the late withdrawal of Cripps, the 3 man Gundagai midfield battled hard for a combined 325 but other than Billings up forward, they got precious little help. And to add further insult, Weitering went down with a shoulder injury - possibly from carrying his fellow defenders, judging by some of their scores.
Iron Knob Codpieces 1205 def Lovely Banks Lilacs 964
Now sitting second on the ladder, Jimbo may be wondering where all the fuss about rucks comes from. While still scoring well below what we’ve come to expect from them, the Codpieces cruised to 5-1 on the back of strong performances from Hanley (128), Shuey and Macrae (both 114)....

Goldi sucks. Rookies suck. Parker is awesome and I got a 2160, which feels about par I reckon.
Guess we'll see when it opens. How'd you go?

So, the Dogs had more of it, but couldn't do the work up forward.
Surely both teams will be there deep in September, wonder if we'll see a rematch?

ORFFL Round 6 Preview:
We haven’t had anything ORFFL related for a couple of weeks. Not a lot of time put in to this so apologies in advance for its brevity and any errors and omissions.
Woy Woy Wizards 15 v Smiths Beach Seagulls 3
Not really a classic Friday night game to kick off the weekend. A strong start to the season for the ‘gulls sees them sitting nicely in 3rd place with a 4-1 record and they should be too strong for the 15th placed Wizards. Seagulls by 150
Bundalong Bullfrogs 18 v Coulta Couldabeens 8
Not a great year for the Bullfrogs so far sees them propping up the table. Having Big Ivan in the ruck is a relief, however the strong Richmond influence still pervades this team which is really not something to instill a great deal of confidence. They are hosting Coulta this week and who really knows which Coulta team is going to turn up. Having said that I can’t see them getting done this week, Coulta by 80.
Queenstown Quolls 13 v Mallacoota Magicians 6
I’m going for the upset here with the Quolls to get over the line by 15. A few ins over the last few weeks who whilst not being superstars have provided depth. Also, Jack Redden in the midfield for the Magicians, really, that’s nearly as bad as Aish as defence interchange.
Glenrowan Gunslingers 1 v Humpty Doo Hammerheads 10
Hard to see the Hammerheads bouncing back this week coming up against the table topping Gunslingers. Business as usual with the Glenrowan boys comfortably home by 200. All eyes starting to focus on the round 9 clash with the Savages.
Mt Buggery Disappointments 12 v Jimcumbilly Jackrabbits 9
After a 0-3 start the MBD boys have done a Melbourne and gone back to back to get themselves back in the mix. An important game here against the 9th placed Jackrabbits a classic 8 pointer if ever I have seen one. Goldstein v Martin in the ruck will go a long way in deciding this one. Jackrabbits by 22.
Warburton Wanderers...

Warburton Wanderers...
There is a very rare phenomenon (well we don’t think it’s happened before) which is the theme of this week’s TipBetPro feature article – both the NRL and AFL minor premiers from 2015 sit bottom of their respective tables. For any NRL fans out there – we’ve taken a look at the fall from grace of the Roosters on our website (NRL Article). But here – we’ll be taking a look at the reasons behind the spectacular collapse of Fremantle.
Also see over for all our Round 6 tips.

Gosh, where does the week go? Thursday already!
Looks like we have some nice 1st gamers coming in, but it's at the expense of a few premiums and a couple of rookie backman.
Hopefully you manage to dodge the worst of it though!!
IN: Petracca, Gresham, Deledio, Davis, Prestia, Keays, Aliir*
OUT: Suckling, Lee, Fyfe, Rance, Lobbe, R. Gray, Wingard, Ruggles, Curnow
