Never make a pick that way. It is a long season. No need for risks I backed the sharks as I just believe that home field advantage is less of a factor this season. Last year I nearly won just by backing the home team when in doubt.

Changing to Lions on the back of this Lambie news. I don't really rate Lambie but I suspect his replacement will be worse.
You can. I'll stick with the Sharks. Historically they have been a far superior outfit and hopefully have the depth to cover the injuries. And if they get up then I'll be the only one getting the lollies
Do you mind editing your picks post please mate? Makes it easier for me to count scores at the end of the round. Cheers!
Brumbies Highlanders (seems like a good pick given their form and not having come back from SA) Tahs Force Bulls Lions
I do believe they can get over the line (and they will one game) but it's hard to actually pick them given their win rate. They haven't actually been too bad, just haven't been able to secure games.
I watched a bit of them last week. They aren't that bad, but Kaino and Luatua aside they don't really have line breakers in their team. And Coach fantastic doesn't start West at 10 who would win him some games if he gave him the chance.
If they don't then there is no hope for them...or JK...who delusionly thinks they can still make the play-offs

Just popping in here to gloat about my Blues pick <iframe src="//giphy.com/embed/11gC4odpiRKuha" width="480" height="360" frameBorder="0" style="max-width: 100%" class="giphy-embed" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>
They did everything to lose the game (like always) and I stand by my reasoning for picking the Brumbies - they pretty much proved it again despite winning.
