The Stats Insider NRL model keeps on delivering for punters and tipsters alike, nailing another 6/8 winners as well as three out of four suggested bets in Round 2.

For those keeping score at home, that’s 12/16 tips and 5/7 suggested bets from the SI model in the opening fortnight of footy and if you’ve been following along, you’ve got cash in your pockets and you’re near the pointy end of tipping comps heading into Round 3. 

You’re welcome.

The good news for your idiot mates still listening to the ‘experts’ and disregarding the data is that it’s not too late for them, they can check out the NRL Match Pages for Round 3and join in on the wins.

Sadly for our current (at time of writing) PM, he managed just 3/8 at the weekend, a percentage not dissimilar to his current approval rating I should think. 

It was probably a little unfair of us to expect his best tips in a week where he was so busy dismantling public trust and objective truth, so this week we thought we’d seek out someone unphased by our collective democratic decline.

A woman who, in the midst of a terrible natural disaster and national political shitstorm, was not afraid to speak up about what is really right, er sorry, left, a woman unafraid to speak about what used to be left and is now right, or was it used to be right? Yeah, that’s right, sorry, left. Shit!

And on that note we welcome Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, lets get into the Round 3 tips.

Panthers v Storm

Fierravanti-Wells: The Storm are based in Melbourne which has its antecedence in Batman, who wears black and favours his left hook of ‘BIFF’, which any student of history will tell you is really ‘BLOOF’. He does write with his right hand though. Hmm. Storm.

SI Model: Panthers

Green Smiley Watch: The model has identified an 8% edge on the Unders (37.5pts). 

Dragons v Sea Eagles

Fierravanti-Wells: Any student of history will agree that Wollongong has its antecedence in the Southerland Shire, particularly if that student is in Perth on a Wednesday, doing a handstand and looking out towards Capetown whilst lighting their atlas and history text books on fire. Go Manly

SI Model: Dragons

Rabbitohs v Roosters

Fierravanti-Wells: When Balmain merged with Western Suburbs, people in Moree considered Campbelltown to be East. Additionally, beach-goers at Bondi are West of the residents of New Zealand. So I think we can all agree that it was heartbreaking for Benny Elias and his Eastern Suburbs Tigers to lose that ’89 Grand Final. I’ll go for Souths, who are really just Norths particularly from the perspective of Canberrans.  

SI Model: Roosters

Raiders v Warriors

Fierravanti-Wells: Doesn’t the case of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad really exemplify the need to do away with this misleading and unhelpful current system? He is a Raider, yet on his Wikipedia page he is described as a ‘former Warrior’, a ‘fullback’ and ‘rugby league footballer’. I mean how can he be all of those things? Ridiculous. Warriors. 

SI Model: Raiders

Broncos v Bulldogs

Fierravanti-Wells: Any student of history will tell you that the Dragons won the ’92 and ’93 ARL Grand Finals. Handsomely. Not in the literal, ‘formerly educated’ sense of the word ‘students’ of course, but students in the figurative sense, those who studiously trawl the internet searching out words and sounds that, when found, seem like valuable information if they suppress their brain function just enough. Bulldogs definitely won it in ’94 though, I don’t think that’s in dispute at all. Go Dogs.   

SI Model: Broncos. 

Eels v Sharks

Fierravanti-Wells: What are Eels but smaller, less-efficient Sharks? In fact the Eel has its antecedence in the Shark. Illegibly. Go Sharks. 

SI Model: Eels

Knights v Tigers

Fierravanti-Wells: A Knight would struggle to best a Tiger, who I think any student of history will agree could easily just use its wings and fiery breath to devastating advantage. Tigers. 

SI Model: Knights

Cowboys v Titans

Fierravanti-Wells: Now they may look like Cowboys, but any student of history will know full well they are actually Cowgirls. They couldn’t even beat the Steelers who any student of history will agree are really just the South Queensland Rams. 

SI Model: Titans.
