After six rounds of the 2024 NRL season we are starting to see the premiership contenders break free from the pretenders.
It’s been a fast and furious opening to the competition with loads of upsets, controversial moments and scandals evolving.
If you’re averaging more than five correct tips per round in your tipping competition then you are doing pretty well, such has been the unpredictable nature of the league.
The Sharks have bolted to the top of the ladder following a soft start while the Rabbitohs are last and a club in crisis.
In between them are 15 clubs that have either lived up to expectations, surprised many or been even worse than predicted.
Before the season kicked off, TRAVIS MEYN looked into the crystal ball and predicted how all 17 clubs would perform in the opening six rounds. This is how it’s panned out.
