Crystal Ball - Round 15

There is no rest for the Crystal Ball! It's back to let you know exactly how round 15 will unfold….

* After watching the Tigers v Rabbitohs, Brett Stewart decides it will be for the best if he just steps to the side if Martin Taupau bursts through the front line and is coming at him full throttle.

* It will rain points at Brookvale. Both Manly and Wests have looked like stadium turnstiles for large parts of 2015 in defence, and with the attacking weapons that both teams' posses, this trend will continue.

* When the Bulldogs face the Panthers, Josh Reynolds and Jamie Soward are recognised before the game as the two most annoying five-eights to face off in the history of the NRL.

* Of the 8,546 patrons that attend the Knights v Sharks game on Sunday, only 14 of them manage to watch the whole game without dozing off.

* Somehow David beats Goliath beats on the Gold Coast, with the diminutive centre pairing of James Roberts and Brad Tighe getting the better of their opposites Konrad Hurrell and Solomone Kata.

* Blake Austin proves it isn't form, but class, when he delivers another stellar performance to outshine Johnathon Thurston and Michael Morgan in the Raiders win over the Cowboys.

* Whenever Corey Parker opens his mouth against the Storm Melbourne's players immediately shut him up by saying, "Show some respect".

* Tyson Frizell makes it personal with Boyd Cordner on Monday night to send the message to Laurie Daley that his squad needs more emphasise on form, rather than tatted reputations.

That's all the ball has this week punters, until next week!
