just booked para -5.5 half time bet. GL

**Samuraifan** · 04-03-10, 02:43 AM

The eels -12 isn't looking that great atm. Seems like the under was the play

**camel** · 04-03-10, 02:46 AM

eels are out of this game..... weather doesn't help either.

**camel** · 04-03-10, 02:48 AM

eels are gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone.

**Domestic** · 04-03-10, 02:49 AM

Bookies having a field day atm.

**MrStiffy** · 04-03-10, 02:53 AM

Unbelieveable, eels really are a shit side. Thought it would have been broncos that broke cronulla's drought, eels just proved me wrong.

**Domestic** · 04-03-10, 02:56 AM

Still 18 to go, anything could happen. 10 is a big lead in these conditions though.

**TwoWays** · 04-03-10, 02:59 AM

The fourth uninspiring, inconsistent performance by the Eels. Why do the lines favor this team every week? Who knew that between these two teams, 60 minutes in, the Eels would be the one without points.

**Domestic** · 04-03-10, 03:12 AM

Goodbye 1500 people from last man standing..

**camel** · 04-03-10, 03:16 AM

i'm one of those... hahaa.

the AFL one had 6,000+ thanking the pies... dammit... would've been down to 3,000 standing in that one.

**shallowtanky** · 04-03-10, 03:28 AM

Fukk the eels!! they burned me enough time this year. Ain't gonna touch them again until they show some form. I hope Nth Qld can bail me out tonight. GL guys.

Coz it makes people think that this will be the game parra will break out and play the kind of football they played on the back end of last season.

For me this is the last game I will back them, i said that last week, but thought I'd give it one more shot against a side that hasn't won for 14 matches. Might be a slow learner, but never again

Well done those that picked sharks

Also like the Cowboys tonight, lets get this cash.

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.

Mate you were right about cron pts - 11

Just got a chance to jump on fellas. Congrats domestic hope NQ got u out the shit tonight lol. Didn't touch parra today can't trust them, couldn't believe sharks beat them. NQ I jumped on great value with prince out. Let's get them tomorrow fellas

**bradskywalker** · 04-03-10, 04:33 PM

today:

Manly -2.5
Warriors coming off a big win but they're a headcase. Smashing the Broncos probably means they'll be overconfident, throw the ball everywhere and anywhere and make 20 handling errors. Manly look like there backline has adjusted to no Brett Stewart, and there forwards should be able to match or beat up the Warriors pack

Canberra M/L
Canberra in Canberra as the underdogs against a hugely, inconsistent Tigers. Almost the same case as the Warriors - if they're great the week before, they'll likely be awful the week after.

What do you all reckon?

**MrStiffy** · 04-03-10, 05:17 PM

I like Manly's chances, if they play anywhere near the level they played last week against the knights, they'll be too good for the warriors. Supposed to be showers today in Auckland, so might make for a sloppy game. What are peoples thougts/opinions on this game?

**nzwarrior** · 04-03-10, 06:34 PM

Warriors in auckland and Raiders in canberra, two teams I wouldn't bet against

Foran - kiwi - may have a big 1

Unfortunately that was all I got right

I am amazed at how faulty, slow, lacking, ugly, disasterous and downright pathetic the Eels execution was.... against the Sharks!!

The concensus plays are 3 of 4 this weekend so that's certainly a positive. One would think that Canberra and NZ playing at home this weekend would be favs. NZ have beat the Sharks and Broncos, probably 2 of the worst squads in the comp but at least they beat them easily which lends confidence. Playing at home is also a boost so I really don't understand their dog ML +120

Canberra at home should be an autobet but I don't like the fact they are +121 against the Wests. The Wests haven't proven anything this year. I still remember week 2 when they were up 12-0 in the first 15 minutes vs. Sydney. Then they stop playing and Sydney goes on like a 44-12 run or something and the Wests put another score or 2 in at the dying minutes for a final Wests 32-44 Sydney. Kingfish had Sydney 1-12 so he loved the final outcome. Last week the Wests beat Parra (and we all now realise how difficult that is). Canberra hasn't shown much eaither so why is it that both home sides are dogs?

**MrStiffy** · 04-03-10, 08:12 PM

I think warriors are home dogs coz manly matches up well against them, and has a good record in NZ (6 from last 8 or something like that). Also two major injuries in Mannering and Vatuvei, so that has to affect the odds. Manly just missing George Rose from the side that played last weekend.

As for the Canberra game, I'm not even going to touch that. Great attacking away team that is hit and miss, and a team that plays well at home, could go either way.

If the weather is bad then it makes it even more difficult to cap as there will be many more unforced errors. I am thinking Manly might be the play here. It could be a major letdown game for the Warriors.

**MrStiffy** · 04-03-10, 08:37 PM

Yeah I think it will affect warriors game more, they tend to be pretty sloppy as it is and the wet ball will only make it worse (they kept brisbane in the game first half by dropping the ball quite a few times, and that was in dry conditions). If manly can keep building pressure with their defence rushing up like they did with the knights, I think Warriors will turn the ball over a lot and they will struggle with their second phase play. Manly also being 1-2 this season I would think they'll show up this week to get a win, but then again I thought parra would show up yesterday

I'm already sold on manly for this game, but wouldn't be the first time I pick the wrong team this weekend.

**kingfish28** · 04-03-10, 09:00 PM

G'day fellas. Good insight into the two games today that are fairly hard to pick coz we just don't know which side will show up. Manly should be ready to go though but warriors could have a let down which they tend to do so manly for me. Same with the tigers they may show up but canberra will be there ready to go. Tigers seem to score early so I'm having a small play on tigers/raiders ht/ft dbl and Canberra at the line. Let's get them today

**MrStiffy** · 04-03-10, 09:10 PM

Best of luck

Noticing the prices are starting to even out more for the manly/warriors game, manly now -2, and paying 1.78 at some places

I just saw this too and it's definitely concerning.

I haven't made any plays yet but if there's late line movement towards NZ then I'll stay away. If no movement or towards Manly then I'll definitely take the Eagles.

If the weather isn't bad I'm thinking Over might be a play as well.

**shallowtanky** · 04-03-10, 10:32 PM

Warriors +2.5 for me. not much in this so i'm going with the home team. Both teams are inconsistent so its a 50/50 call. The only thing that have made me pick warriors is alot of money has poured on them the last hour. Just a small bet for me. GL

**Ace_of_Spades** · 04-03-10, 10:52 PM

Warriors +3.5 for me also.

Where do you normally look to see the money coming in? I didn't see much late change to the odds, so I've got

Manly-2 $216 to win $416
