The show must go on!! Even though we have not got any results on last Saturday, here goes a blind leap of faith....
Round 13
Bond at home Vs The Bank
Brother's once again doing the hard yards for Bond by playing them this afternoon (with no site of the reschedule of UQ v Bond); will The Bank recover by Saturday? Will Brother deal them a psychological blow? WHO KNOWS WHO CARES is my response. Assuming Bond in good health this maybe a stroll. Game of the round:
Bond by 16
Brothers at home Vs GPS
Last time this was a closer match than anyone would have considered. Brothers should (hopefully) have back at least one prop and one second rower. I have been cheering for GPS in the last two rounds and the boys have responded. COM'ON GPS two more tries. Home advantage a plus and even with my cheering:

Norths at home Vs Easts
Yep that's where part of the storm came from last weekend, so this should be "the an east coast low Part 2". Norths will have the luxury of 13 days off; hopefully they won't forget how to play, at the least they may be erase the horrible performance against Bond. With North's home ground resumed by Kedron Brooke last weekend this is a good sign, I think>!?
Easts have come off the bye and I think all the players have survived wave riding in Norman Creek. There previous game against Wests showed, the other top 4 contenders, that they mean business. Hopefully they can continue this form to give a good result.

UQ at home Vs Wests
Wests have proved to be pretty bloody consistent in the competition except for their last outing where Easts, whom resumed top dog spot, taught them a lesson. Wests are the team that isn't to be trifled with. They have provided more close games then Gillette provides close shaves and this will be no exception.
UQ having the breather (apparently 4 injured against Brothers) may appreciate the time to repair and regain themselves. Whilst the Wests forwards may make some trouble for UQ, I think the overall contest will be won in the backs. Last time out their was only 4 points in this one, and again I think this will be close:
