ROUND 23
11 August 2017
Steeming to you straight from NRL Headquarters

South Sydney Rabittohs barely worked up a sweat in their 28-14 win over the Bulldogs last night. This is four losses in a row for the Bulldogs - however at least their Captain, James Graham was able to get in for his first try since 2015.
Tonight
Parramatta Eels take on the Newcastle Knights at ANZ Stadium - kicking off at 6:00pm.
The #5 Eels are huge favourites for the win tonight paying a mere $1.19 for the win on Sportsbet. However, the current wooden spooners, the Knights, should not be underestimated coming off two straight wins against the Dragons and Warriors.
Followed by the potential GAME OF THE ROUND:
Brisbane Broncos verse Cronulla Sharks at Suncorp Stadium starting 7:50pm.
Quoting Eden Richards of NRL.com:
'Finals football will come a month early when the third-placed Brisbane Broncos host the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.
Fresh off a 54-point thrashing of the Gold Coast Titans, the Broncos have a chance to go to second position on the NRL ladder and cement their spot in the top four in the process.
But it will not come easy as they face a Sharks side desperate for victory after a disappointing 30-12 loss to the Canberra Raiders last start.
Cronulla cannot afford to lose two matches in a row because if they do the defending premiers could finish the round of football in a position as low as seventh.'
The crew at Community News reckon it is hard to go past the favourites on both these matches - tipping the Eels and Broncos respectively.
