SOME of our top tipsters fell over in round 11 and will hope some solid picks in round 12 make up lost ground.

Have they got it right for round 12 or are some of them way off the mark?

ROUND 12 FIXTURES: Rabbitohs v Eels, Warriors v Broncos, Sharks v Bulldogs, Raiders v Roosters.

Nick Walshaw's top tips:

Score so far: 57

No brainer: Canberra should be too strong for a Roosters side missing almost half its starting line up to Origin.

Upset: Canterbury over Cronulla.

Coin toss: Warriors/Brisbane. Because while the Broncos are missing six players to Origin, the Warriors must still contend with ... well, being the Warriors.

Michael Carayannis's top tips:

Score so far: 56

No brainer: The Raiders are only minus Josh Papalii but play a Roosters side missing the likes of Boyd Cordner, Mitchell Pearce, Blake Ferguson, Aidan Guerra.

Upset: The whole weekend. Origin selection has decimated sides, so it's impossible to get a gauge of what is going to happen.

Coin toss: Any time you pick the Warriors, it is always a coin toss.

Paul Kent's top tips:

Score so far: 55

No brainer: No certainties this week.

Upset: Warriors against an understrength Broncos still counts.

Coin toss: Rabbitohs and Eels both need this. Rabbitohs in a tight one.

David Riccio's top tips:

Score so far: 55

No brainer: During Origin period there are no certainties.

Upset: An Origin-ravaged Broncos outfit will still have too much class for the woeful Warriors at Mt Smart.

Coin toss: Rabbitohs v Eels.

Matt Logue's top tips:

Score so far: 51

No brainer: None. But, in theory, the Raiders should do it comfortably at home against a Roosters side severely weakened by Origin.

Upset: Eels and Rabbitohs have been two of the least consistent sides this season and in this match Parra might just want it more.

Coin toss: All of them.

James Phelps's top tips:

Score so far: 51

No brainer: No tip is a given this weekend.

Upset: Take your pick.

Coin toss: See above. Best of luck!

Dean Ritchie's top tips:

Score so far: 50

No brainer: Warriors are never a dead cert, but surely even they can beat a heavily-depleted Broncos at home. Can't they?

Upset: Eels let slip last week's game against the Raiders - the Rabbitohs will put up less of a fight tomorrow night.

Coin toss: Probably every game this round, especially Sharks v Bulldogs.

Barry Toohey's top tips:

Score so far: 50

No brainer: Surely the Warriors can beat a depleted Broncos at home.

Upset: Won't surprise if Eels get over the Bunnies.

Coin toss: Raiders aren't playing well enough to take any game lightly.

Paul Crawley's top tips:

Score so far: 49

No brainer: If Warriors lose to Broncos they should be kicked out of comp.

Upset: Gone for two, Eels over Rabbitohs and Bulldogs over Sharks.

Coin toss: Toughest round of the season.
