Footy Theory Rounds 7-8

After a dismal showing from the theory in round 7, it hopes to bounce back in round 8. The theory stated last week that Broncos and the Bulldogs would lose or at least struggle. Well, that didn’t exactly happen. In fact the Broncos delivered another crushing defeat, 40-8 over Parramatta.

Next week the Broncos come up against the Knights, in Newcastle. The Knights have been looking good lately and will be looking to bounce back after giving up a big lead against the Tigers last weekend. The Broncos have been in hot form and surely they are about to burn out, well that’s what the theory says.

Another form team, the Dragons, flogged that Roosters 29-0 on Anzac Day. The Dragons are at home at Win Stadium to the Warriors this week and it is shaping up to be a cracker of a game. The Warriors squandered opportunities to win their game against the Storm last week in extra time, which ended in a 14 all draw, and will be looking to make up for it. The theory says the Dragons wont be convincing in this game, but it looks like it will be very close and could go either way.

I’m also going to class the Panthers win over the Titans as a big win. They travel to Canberra who put up a decent showing against the Dogs last weekend. Some may say that the Raiders are due for a victory and that the Panthers are due for a loss so the theory might be in business here.

So in summary TC’s Footy Theory for this week says:
– Knights over the Broncos
– Warriors over the Dragons
– Raiders over the Panthers
