Auckland 9s Rugby League

Might as well start a thread. This was a fun tourny to watch last year so looking forward to again.

Managed to sneak out a few bucks from the last one basically by taking big dogs probably going to do the same again. The games are a coin toss really so getting $3+ on sides is nearly an auto play, only one side in round one above that is Gold Coast vut they're playing the Warriors who take this the most seriously being the home side and having players really suited to the format so I'll probably leave that at this stage.

Going to make plays pretty late upon seeing sides.

Only change thrown around at this stage to go with a few cold brews!

Game 1, Parra -1.5.

Manly were poor in their first attempt and the Eels look like they have a live wire team. Big Semi Radradra is going to be very hard to stop!

[Mase of Base]

Nice way to start. 5 tries to 3 but only just won, conversions are gold in this format.

Dragons +4.5, hopefully Dugan, Nightingale, Benji can pull it out.

[Mase of Base]

They can't, terrible game.

Storm +6

[Mase of Base]

Square as hell but Warriors -7.5 at evens

[Mase of Base]

Parra ML

Record 1-3

[Mase of Base]

Storm ML @ 2.15. Think they've got a bit more talent, poor halves though

[Mase of Base]

Storm and parra both do the job back to 3-3. Missed Dragons ML by seconds which was frustrating in the game before parra.

Soths ML @ 2.15. Mark Taumalolo please he looks beasty for the cows.

[Mase of Base]

Teams are taking this alot more seriously than last year where for the most part it was all laughs and razzle dazzle.

Really notice it in the crowd, they're dead for the most part.

[Mase of Base]

Could be a burier, took Souths +7.5 live at the half for 2U

[Mase of Base]

George Burgess! Needed that.

[Mase of Base]

Unexpected double. Thankfully there's no video refs as two souths tries weren't tries.

Back to the favs Gold Coast -4.5, too much speed and talent, looked good against the warriors.

5-3

[Mase of Base]

Whooaaaa way off on that one! II've got a play on the cricket so will be tuned into that for awhile.

10.5 seems a bit but for one of these games and the warriors didn't look anything special. Raiders would be my play but not gonna watch so no bet.

5-4

[Mase of Base]

Oh and if anyone one watches cricket listen to the alternative cricket commentary on iheart radio. That's for new zealand by the way it's incredible.

[Mase of Base]

Damn see the green machine cashed the spread oh well had a big play on the cricket had to go sweat it out!

Last game of the day, wrong team favoured. Broncs ML @ 2.25.

[Mase of Base]

Whoops, sharks -17.5 live

[Mase of Base]

6-5. Managed to earn few more bucks live betting so pretty happy.
