Hels' NRL Thread -- Let's Drive this Shit!!

[hels]

Hey guys, I'm 33 live in Adelaide and trade on the ASX for a living. Hels which part of Canada you from? I was in BC for 6 months a few years ago.

Born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario which is a small city (70,000) right in the middle of Canada. If you look at a map of N. America and you see the 3 big lakes --The Great Lakes (Huron, Michigan + Superior) Sault Ste. Marie (The Soo) is right in the middle of the 3. It's only a couple minutes over a bridge to the U.S. so that's pretty convenient too.

BC is definitely alot more beautiful and the best place to visit in Canada I reckon. What were you up to in BC? Quite a few Aussies come over and work in the resorts and lodges in Banff/Whistler etc.

Giday from nsw nth coast, I'm new to this thread, its just good to get an insight into who n whats being wagered/won/lost im 38, a tradie n started online with c/bet back during this 96 world cup, havent been to a tab now for yrs for footytab, no need when online, also with couple o/s books .deps hurt with exchange rate ect. I only bet small during the rounds but follow n watch every nrl game n most afl. i'm also with john morrison' systems which can be good/bad/indifferent. I lash out in premiership futures now n again like manly/hawks 2 yrs ago, nice collect. i got on the western bulldogs/canturbury bulldogs double in feb this yr n got on at $46 to collect 20k, but storm are the danger n the team to beat. Any thoughts on a smokey for daily m this yr - cronk $??, Kimmorly $51, even the Morris twins.. hope your keep hitting for the remaining games.. cheers

How funny is that Hels? I'm from Thunder Bay, now living in Melbourne. Bloody small world.

[kingsr]

A mix of all types here. Welcome to Aussie land Hels! There's another Aussie on here named AzNDoom, he also born and raised in Canada but now resides here.

Hey Hedge, you day trading the ASX?

[kingsr]

Wingers and centres don't normally win Daley M's, look for a gamebreaker type player, or a lead player that leads the team and sets up the plays. Too early to call right now.

Welcome Shari, nice to see a female grinding away

[Bazz27]

yer wingers very rare if ever, maybe cam smith, slater, hayne, but something small on a smokey just for a bit a extra interest during the season

[kingsr]

Ok guys, time for business, lets discuss these 2 games today.

I like this little play, 2 leg multi nth qld -4.5 into parra -5.5 paying $2.78.

I'm waiting to see the unders/overs for both games, I'm thinking unders for both games, but have to see the numbers 1st

[kingsr]

Yes, why not! I like Cam Smith, whats he paying? He's in my top 5 players for the last 20 years!

[Bazz27]

cron/par 36.5 cows/ 40.5 im with you on parra -5.5 Kingr but with titans +12.5 @2.08. presto n thurston are good mates, does that mean anything, maybe not, but i'd say not a blowout 2nite

[kingsr]

Titans do defend well, so yes I like that bet. Titans without Prince are fairly average team though. Nth Qld are due to shine in from of their home crowd

[shallowtanky]

from NZ, Wellington but my family live in Sydney.

Already booked Nth Qld -4.5

Anyone like Para by 13+?

hahha... i've been there a few times but as I'm sure you know how it is the winters there are bitter cold when the northerlies are blowing.

On a long shot, my best friend at McMaster was from TBay, Sunny Verma, you would know who it is right away as he's about the only brown kid within 100 clicks.

[Domestic]

Hels I like your thinking with the eels needing to cover such a large handicap means that they probably will.
More confident in NQ covering their spread through and I am going to go with thtat.

I like Parra by 20, Jarryd Hayne will have a cracker and the Eels will be rolling from the very start. I know I'll be making a play on them today unless there's some serious questions raised (which I doubt).

Looking at the Sharks have been so far this season the only way to play is to fade them until they somehow cover. I doubt that will be anytime soon!!

I don't think I know him but the last name sounds familiar. And I must correct you Hels... I can clearly remember THREE brown people from my 25yrs in that city.

And yeah, it's friggin miserably cold there. -40 in the winter, feeling like -60 with the windchill. I must admit even though I complain about Melbourne weather in the winter, I honestly don't miss the frozen snot, plugging our cars in, eyelashes sticking together, etc...

I do miss a heap of other things though.

Oh - and I'm completely just tailing you guys on your plays in here. So wrapped up in the NBA and AFL at the moment that my brain can't absorb any more gambling research at the moment!

BOL tonight everyone!

Oh man how well I understand those beautiful winter days TBay does have it worse off than the Soo, it's just we get about 6 metres more snow each winter.

If you've heard of Flin Flon (which I'm sure you have) I have a friend from there living in Melbs now too, I guess all of us Canadians emigrate to Australia eh?

For tonight

Eels-12.5 $100 to win $206

[AzNDooM]

Great input by great cappers. Glad to see the AuS people putting up plays and welcome Shari91. Have seen you on Lakerboy's thread, hels like your pick, going to go with the UNDER 42.5 on North QLD / Gold Coast Game as i feel theres going to be low defence with out Scott Prince. If you look at the previous 3 games, the points came from him, thus a side bet on North QLD could be the bet.

[AzNDooM]

Btw, im from Toronto Canada living in Sydney NSW. Anyone up for coffee? ^^

[shallowtanky]

Hels, I was thinking the same thing. Para should win by at least 20 tonight. Just couldn't pull the trigger but now that you are on it. I'm going to book para -12.5.

I might back you with this, but i wouldnt consider it a strong play. As I see GSR has bought 6.5 points, Cronulla at home is going to be tough and Im pretty sure Ricky Stewart is going to be getting his team in shape to ensure they dont lose 14 straight. Thus, might be a close one.

However, on the flip side I can see Jarroyd Hayne having a big game, NRL isnt my strong suit but I would prefer to play the O/U on NQLD / GCT game or play NQLD (-4.5). THey look alot stronger of a play imo.

[camel]

Lock and loaded... i've got Eels at -12.

[kingsr]

Careful on the EELs with the 12.5 line. I took the PYOL -5.5

[TwoWays]

The Eels have not looked good this year...only in spurts. I can't back them, especially with such a large line.

[AzNDooM]

I agree, what you guys think of the line on UNDER 36.5 for the PARRA / CRONULLA GAME

[Bazz27]

Beware of the PARRATHETICS at -12.5, the books have loved them for several yrs now

[hels]

I can't imagine that paying more than 1.4. My thinking is this, so far we have seen that Cronulla sucks. Paramatta has played 3 matches against teams entering week 3 all in the top 8 and competed well in all 3 with one 1 win. They are a solid squad and will not let opportunities like this pass them by. They will strike early and strike hard. Cronulla will not score easily hence the 37.5 point line. Cronulla will probably score 10 points barring miracles and complete incompetence by the Eels.

[hedgejob]

Cronulla are on a short turn around as they played on Monday night. I've gone with the over. If they get their 10 the Eels can put the rest on.

Good point, but I wouldn't put it past them to be completely imcompetent this week as well. If it was any other team apart from cronulla they were playing I wouldn't touch parra, but I'm going to take a chance they'll show up tonight.

Already got them -12.5 earlier in the week, but putting a bit more on at -12. Good luck guys

[hels]

The Sharks have allowed 30 in their last 2 alone. Pretty much this line is how many points can Parra score

[hels]

one high kick towards the Sharks, one drop by the Sharks

[hels]

I"m not blaming the refs for the current 0-0 score, but how many penalties will they give the Sharks? This is ridiculous

[camel]

Eels are flat... need them to score a try before half time.

[MrStiffy]

Lucky if there'll be 12 points scored in total. I just hope this game opens up in the eels favour in the second half.
