Storm beat Tigers 18-16 in scrappy affair.Storm gave away way too many penalties & looked threatening at times but Tigers stuck to their guns & nearly won the game.Would think Tigers will be a better side this year & at least threaten the 8.Storm will need to lift a gear also but at least they hung on to win.In minor upset Cowboys beat Brisbane 23-16 in Brisbane.
What a cracker of a way to open the 06 nrl season last night, with Storm prime time in their hard fought win over a very competetive Wests outfit, who showed if they can keep the injury gods on side have the ability to make a return to the 8.
Storm very very rusty but got the job done and good way to open the season for them.
Cowboys v Broncos without a doubt one of the best games of League i have seen for a while, end to end stuff, pressure, big hits a plenty, heaps of ball movement, and anyones game till Bowen stuck his head up ala Origin 05 to streak a 50 m intercept try to get the Cowboys home in a great start to the year for the entertainers who are gonna be very hard to stop in 07.
The playmaking quartet of Thurstan, Smith, Payne and Bowen is extremely dangerous and allows the Cowboys class accross the field in playmaking regardless of the location of the ruck.
Good hitout for Broncos except for injuries to Locky and a dislocated wrist for workhorse utility forward Corey Parker.
Of interest with these injuries the Broncos are devoid of their 2 main goal kickers.
Craigy good start to tips and 2 from 2
In other first round games
Bulldogs over Knights
Bunnies over Roosters
Titans over Dragons
Sharkies over Panthers
Warriors over Eels
Sea eagles over Raiders 8)

Last night's Melbourne scoreline an accurate reflection of the game.Tigers never really had field position in the 2nd half to consistently threaten & Storm were just that bit better. Never happy losing but not too disappointed with the Tigers 1st up effort all the same,particularly defensively.1st Leichhardt match v Manly next Saturday night . Another solid test beckons though hopefully home ground advantage will help see us prevail.
In other games Warriors have beaten the Eels 34-18 in solid 1st up performance,Croullas have beaten Penrith
18-0 so good start for the Sharks under Ricky Stuart & Manly are leading the Raiders 30-6 which is no surprise.Could be a long year for the Raiders after losing so much experience.Too early to call on Eels & Panthers.

Thought the Tigers were good MJ,sure they will be challenging for the top 8 come season's end.Their defence was good & like Melbourne their attack was hot & cold.Benji got through the game & will be better for the hitout.The Tigers v Manly game should be a ripper.I'd favour the Tigers at this stage.marella jube said:
In today's games Newcastle beat the Doggies 25-24 & the Dragons beat the new Gold Coast Titans 20-18.The Doggies played 1 short for all bar 4 minutes when Sonny Bill Williams was sent off for a high shot on Johns & resulted in him missing the rest of the game also but fortunately Johns has no facial fractures just concussion.
Don't usually take much interest in non Tiger games but lack of other TV options last night drew me to yesterday's games on Fox.
Very impressed with the playing standard + overall 'theatre' . Certainly set a high standard/expectations for the season & for other codes to emulate re contests/entertainment.
