It's time for the world famous Bennyasena versus Peter Jessup rugby league tipping competition.

Well it's not quite time, but i figured since I'm leading by 2 games I should file my picks before Jessup does his in the Herald tommorrow because otherwise I could just take all his tips and ensure victory.

After 159 NRL matches Jessup is on 87/159 while Bennyasena is on 89/159.

So here are this weekend's matches:

Eels vs Broncos - Bennyasena Eels Jessup Eels

(I heard the Bronco's coach saying he only wished they could default this game, so bad are their injuries. Could be possible he's trying to lure Eels into a false sense of security but the punters don't seem to think so)

Sharks vs Rabbits - Bennyasena Sharks Jessup Sharks

Cowboys vs Storm - Bennyasena Cowboys Jessup Cowboys

Raiders vs Sea Eagles - Bennyasena Sea Eagles Jessup Raiders

(not that I think the Sea Eagles are the better team just that if they win they'll make the 8 while the Raiders are already out. Then again, it is the Raiders last home match and they'll put in a big effort for their fans)

Roosters vs Bulldogs - Bennyasena Roosters Jessup Roosters

Dragons vs Newcastle - Bennyasena Dragons Jessup Dragons

(All the talk about Andrew Johns being able to win the game for Newcastle is just that - talk)

Tigers versus Penrith - Bennyasena Tigers Jessup Tigers

(Although I hope the Tigers lose in the first round of the finals. That way Benji "my shoulder's fine for the NRL finals but too bad to play for the Kiwis" Marshall can get all the time to recover he needs.)
