If you are like us, and spend too much time on NRL tipping, only to get a lousy three or four correct, then we why bother and let someone else decide for you and offer you our Alternative NRL Round 2 Tips.
Perhaps you could just follow an expert’s tips, but what’s the fun in that.
And instead of allowing the competition admin to give you the away teams for when you don’t care about who you tip, why not take on board our weekly Alternative NRL Tipping method?
Each week there will be a new theme, and occasionally it will have nothing to do with rugby league. Just the way we like it.
In addition to that is a whole bunch of barely interesting stats for the round of NRL ahead. Impress your friends and / or family by stealing them and sharing.
Good luck with your Alternative NRL Round 2 Tips.

NRL Round 2 Tipping Alternative – Gurgler v Fullbacks
So here are this week’s alternative tips. The method to how it works is below.
METHOD TO THE MADNESS
Since the great fullbacks of the NRL were so influential last weekend, how about basing this week’s tips on who has the better fullback.
How do you determine who is best fullback though. 100’s of stats, a poll of our readership? Depends how hard you want to work.
So for this week we simply grabbed two stats from NRL Supercoach – Current Value and Last Week’s Points – ranked them 1 to 16 and have a combined average rank. Which is the fullback rank above.
The better the rank, the better the fullback and the more likely the team is to win.
Simples.
