GAMES/STARTS

Sportsfans,

Congratulations to the winners of the Rds 1-8 segment, Steve Stanton and Nick Speed. Let me know where you'd like your prizemoney sent and I'll get it off to you this week. Our second segment runs between Rds 9-17.

The $150 FootyTAB Knockout enters Week 8 - you must select at least 3 FootyTAB winners to stay alive.

You are to select 6 scratch and 4 FootyTAB winners from the following games:

Roosters v Canberra (+7.5)

Bulldogs v Penrith (+3.5)

NQld v Sharks (+4.5)

Brisbane v Manly (+5.5)

Parramatta v StGeorge (+4.5)

Melbourne v Newcastle (+11.5)

The on-line cut-off is 5.35pm Saturday night. Tipsters who miss this critical cut-off can still lodge late selections by e-mail up until the start of Saturday's second game (7.35pm) but they can only lodge 9 selections, 5 scratch and 4 FootyTAB, chosen from the remaining games.

To lodge your tips, go to our web site (www.esgec.org), choose "tipping competition" from the left column menu, then choose "log in", type in your username and password and the games and starts should be displayed under your name. When you have made the required number of selections, the submit button will become available. Press it, your tips are sent to our database and you should receive an e-mail confirmation of your selections within a few minutes.

In the unlikely event of a site malfunction, tipsters can lodge tips by e-mail to this address but they still must be received by me before the cut-off.

Good luck,

Fatcat.
