Scroll below for the current leaderboard and week two finals tips by Johns, Fittler and all Nine's expert tipsters!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Previewing tonight's semi-final clash with the Roosters<\/a> for Wide Word of Sports' Freddy and The Eighth<\/em><\/a>, Fittler put rising stars Josh Schuster, Haumole Olakau'atu and Morgan Harper in the crosshairs, saying they were exposed in the biggest game of their careers.<\/p>\n "The thing you've got to learn is experience. A lot of those blokes, the Schusters and Olakau'atus and Morgan Harpers and all these fellas, this is their first semi (the Storm game) so hopefully they can go back and go 'wow, I need to be a little bit fitter, I need to think faster, I need to work harder', and if they can do that they're a dangerous team," Fittler said.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Ricciardo's 'reminder' to upstart teammate in final lap of F1 victory<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> The two-word text that ignited all-time fullback battle<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Andrew Johns identifies surprise chink in Roosters armour<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Despite the Sea Eagles' heavy favouritism with the bookmakers to win tonight's sudden-death clash, Fittler said he has no faith in that result due to the fact that the Roosters boast several proven big game performers, headlined by James Tedesco, Jared-Waerea-Hargreaves and Victor Radley.<\/p>\n He tipped Trent Robinson's men for a big upset, scoffing at Andrew Johns' prediction that Manly would win by a big margin<\/a>.<\/p>\n "There's a lot of inexperience there, and when you look through the Roosters side there's some big game players," Fittler said.<\/p>\n "Once again, Teddy, Jared [Waerea-]Hargreaves, Victor Radley, he was incredible (against the Titans). So there's a lot of players who have won grand finals and on the Manly side, although their form was pretty awesome coming into the semi-finals, there's a lot of blokes there who haven't had any success at the next level.<\/p>\n "Outside the halves, Turbo obviously, at State of Origin level and some of the things he's been able to do there, but you've got to say, you know, they don't know\u2026 well they've most probably got an idea of what it took to win those games on the weekend but they haven't done it yet, so I still think the Roosters are still the favourites."<\/p>\n Brad Fittler:<\/strong> Roosters, Panthers<\/p>\n Andrew Johns:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Eels<\/p>\n Wally Lewis:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n Paul Gallen:<\/strong> Roosters, Panthers<\/p>\n Darren Lockyer:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n Ruan Sims:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n The Mole:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n Billy Slater:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n Peter Sterling:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n James Bracey:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n Mat Thompson:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n Peter Psaltis:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Eels<\/p>\n Tim Elbra:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Eels<\/p>\n Ben Glover:<\/strong> Sea Eagles, Panthers<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
