Tipping Competition2024

NRL friendships are thrown overboard this weekend when the Balmain Tigers go head to head with Western Suburbs Magpies on Friday night at Leichardt Oval.


The Magpies – who have been an inspiration to their brothers in Premier League – will be hoping to swoop down and score their 5th win of the season to make it back inside the top eight.

This is one game of the year where getting stuck in major league traffic and being honked at by impatient, moronic motorists is worth it.

Tickets for this game are going fast, so get there early to make sure you don’t miss out on witnessing a game the world has been waiting for.

Souths Juniors have won all six of their games this year on the road. Can they do it again on Sunday against third placed Canberra at Bruce Stadium?

Round 16 of the Jersey Flegg kicks off on Friday night at the Crest Stadium when the Roosters will try to take the Bulldogs for a walk out of the winners circle.
