Readers getting ready for a big day of NRL action
Arvo Michael. Too much footy is never enough mate so joining you for a Titans victory, followed by the Panthers and then finishing off with the Knights. Love watching Jayden Campbell, a chip off the old block, Preston. And if you can organise it, no injuries please.

G’day Michael. Very quiet wintry afternoon here in Launceston right now as the Hawks are playing the Roos as I write. Needing some good NRL to warm me up. Warriors, Panthers and an upset; Broncos over the Knights are my tips on this lazy Saturday arvo.
– Old timer
Hello Mick, I’ve gone with the Warriors today despite their poor form last week – I reckon their ears would still be ringing…
