Crystal Ball - Round 4

Already three weeks down team and how fast has it gone! There would have been a few happy punters last week with a lot of the favourites saluting. Here's the inside word on what will go down this week:

• Luke Lewis to bust out a walking stick try celebration after revealing mid week arthritis is the cause of his niggling knee injury
• The Sea Eagles to announce they are moving the remainder of their home games to Manly beach as there is a more even layer of grass than Brookvale
  Laurie Daley to be named assistant coach of the Roosters to spend more time with the players, as half their side will play for NSW. Somehow the NRL still don't probe their salary cap as they announce SBW will return next season after this year's Rugby World Cup
• The NRL to trial replacing their blind video refs with fans from the stands. The new men in the box are blind for a different reason but just as likely to get it right.
• A Souths player to their leg against the Tigers yet still play out 80 minutes so they aren't labelled ‘soft' by teammates in light of recent weeks
• Shane Flanagan forces Ben Barba to not take his eye off Wade Graham for the entire game so the ex Bronco can learn how to tackle, kick and direct traffic.
• Flanagan then realises Barba may have played his last game as Graham walks away with man of the match honours in the number 6 jersey.
• In light of the rumours that the interchange may drop as low as six next season, the Bulldogs curiously release Sam Kasiano, Frank Pritchard, David Klemmer, Tim Browne and Lloyd Perrett from their contracts due to ‘salary cap restraints'.
• Brendon McCullum to go ballistic in the World Cup final, blasting 95 off just 48 balls.
• After being carried through the whole tournament, Mitchell Johnson finally gets his mojo back and claims 6/46
• Michael Clarke to lift the trophy in a tearful tribute to the late Phillip Hughes…onya pup!

That's it from me punters. As always I hope your team wins but your back pocket wins more. C'mon Australia!!
