Welcome back to year eleven (or so) of footy tipping.
Who knows what’s going to happen. Premiers in both competitions look pretty good. It’s hard to see any teams making big strides up their ladders, though one or two usually slip a bit.
Oddly enough the first round of picks for the NRL shares six with last year’s round one – and last year I didn’t pick Melbourne for some reason. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
