SOUTH Sydney’s win over fierce rivals the Roosters last Thursday night took all of our experts by surprise, with no one tipping the Rabbitohs.

Similarly, everyone showed faith in out-of-form pre-season favourites the Cowboys to turn things around against the Bulldogs to their peril.

Luke Turgeon equalled the top score for the second week in a row, joining Chief Sports Writer Robert Craddock in tipping five apiece in a result that saw The Courier-Mail Sports Editor join Sam Squiers at the top of the leaderboard.

Darryl Brohman had a bit of a shocker, tipping just one with only the Storm’s win over the Knights sparing The Big Marn’s blushes.
