Hehe. Funnily enough I'm more of an AFL fan than union, but I tend to play more on union. Let's go stormer!!

Is it okay for me to admit I'm just a little jealous that every single bloody person in this thread is on the Stormers and I am not?

So awesome to see them get out to a good start for you guys - just keep those Union picks coming Camel!!

Other than whatever y'all tell me to take

, my only plays so far will be on the Titans and the under. The under is based purely on Aunty Jack's insight into the bet and my head is so jumbled with tennis at the moment, Aunty's reasoning is a hell of a lot better than anything I'll come up with at the moment.

So I'll just sit back and tail if I get in here IN TIME

. So, so bitter.

Best of luck tonight everyone!!

All cool Shari just wish you jump on with all of us.

**hels** · 04-16-10, 03:46 AM

Stormers turning this into a clinic!!!!!

**Domestic** · 04-16-10, 03:48 AM

Great pick camel!
Thanks again.

**hels** · 04-16-10, 03:48 AM

And Camel, 37 is one of my favourite numbers (13 is favourite and 337 also) and it's also the number of points the Stormers have atm!!!

You made my Friday night a winning one no matter what happens in the NRL

In the league tonight i like the doggies jump the boxes and grab the lead off the tigers in the first half, but i think the tigs should come home strong and finish over the top of them in the second. $6.50 for this, im on it.

Also think I will be taking tigers -3.5 and st george ML.

St George is a no brainer like melbourne was last week. I dont like to overthink it in rugby and league if i see st george a well drilled, composed team playing the titans without prince i know they will beat them. Didn't work out with the storm last week but that was just unfair, they shoulda won that game.

When the titans start performing in pressure situations then i will give them some credit. They didn't have to do anyting exceptional last week, when the ref gives you the ball that many times not far from the line even the sharks would probably of won in that situation...

Also Dragons, though I am weary of the biased refereeing in some of these games lately.

Funny you mention a biased situation with Cronulla probably winning with that many penalties, coz I remember a game last year between the cowboys and sharks in townsville that had a very similar first half to that second half we saw last Friday night. Sharks kept getting ridiculous penalty one after the other on the cowboys line, but they just couldn't score, and went into half time 0-0. Think the ref gave up after that, cowboys went on to win 24-4.

I'm going with the Tigers as well, just can't pick the dogs with their effort lately, and just lacking too much in the forwards. Lots of talk about teams firing up each week after a bad game, but until they prove it, I'll keep fading them.

Camel your union picks are priceless, much appreciated

Best of luck tonight

I took Dragons ML and Wests at the spread also, best of luck.

Good capping Camel..

PS. ONE Hump or TWO.

**hels** · 04-16-10, 04:23 AM

Driving the Shit with the Dragons!! $125 to win $150 and O44.5 Wests/Bullies $100 to win $190

note.... will hedge quickly if Wests come out flat and will take the Under..

**hels** · 04-16-10, 04:30 AM

big late money on wests.... took their ML too.... couldn't resist...

**kingfish28** · 04-16-10, 04:39 AM

Ok I still don't understand why tigers are $1.72 on centrebet and really wanted to smash it but decided on a smaller play. Tigers PYOL -11.5 at $3.35 go benji

Not a great Tigers start so far but it's a long game and only 10 minutes in. Hedged the Over and will take a small loss for the night. I'm not confident with it at the moment and would rather just get rid of it.

BOL everyone!!!

**hels** · 04-16-10, 04:56 AM

Would have been an amazing first try for the Dragons if the field was 10 centimetres wider or his arms were 10 centimetres longer!!!!

**shallowtanky** · 04-16-10, 05:10 AM

anyone got a link to the tigers game?

**hels** · 04-16-10, 05:19 AM

http://www.justin.tv/nxl2014#r=CUUGEVQ~

no way that was a try... offside or knock-on and it comes out from the video ref as a try... atrocious.

**hedgejob** · 04-16-10, 05:32 AM

How f'ed up is Sportingbet, max bet on 2H's is $27. Why even offer $27 just make it 0. I'm shutting this account down.

**shallowtanky** · 04-16-10, 05:50 AM

thanks hels. oh man its not good. dogs leading by 12. sh***t

12-4 with the biggest miskick in all of history

**Domestic** · 04-16-10, 06:11 AM

Dragons are home, Tigers looking unlikely, one out of two ain't bad.

**kingfish28** · 04-16-10, 06:20 AM

That's for me with the tigers, there overated and rely on benji not that I watched the game but with a scoreline like that I doubt he dominated

**peterw111** · 04-16-10, 06:23 AM

Sorry about Tigers guy..

You have to remember with NRL throw the form out of the window.

Team who shows up to play will WIN. Bulldogs were showing up tonight.

Anyway I finished like you guys 1 WIN - 1 LOSE

**hels** · 04-16-10, 06:49 AM

none of us finished on top tonight and the tigers were not impressive on the offensive side. I know I made a video ref comment on the first try but at the end of the game the refs didn't matter and the Bulldogs deserved to win. You called it spot on peterw111 with the Dogs, they wanted the victory and they got the victory.

We gotta listen to ourselves next time kingfish, we saw something wrong with the ML which should have told us to get far far away....
tomoro is a new day and hopefully we all get back on track with winning days!!

**hedgejob** · 04-16-10, 07:07 AM

**shallowtanky** · 04-16-10, 07:45 AM

bet on dogs lose bet against dogs lose. officially fading dogs game from now.

**sportscash** · 04-16-10, 08:08 AM

Better luck tomorrow everyone

**TwoWays** · 04-16-10, 08:53 AM

Dogs and Stormers win!!! Yes!!! 2-0!! Thanks for the Stormers pick, camel.

**aunty jack** · 04-16-10, 09:04 AM

camel: i jumped on your back with the stormers too... so to speak.

much appreciated. thanx.

the titans/dragons under 38.5 cashed with room to spare.

it was a pretty ordinary game. the g'coast was always going to struggle playing the storm and st george back-to-back.

melb and dragons are clearly the benchmark teams... even this early in the season.

cheers all.

**camel** · 04-16-10, 10:46 AM

Well done to those that had a great night and for those that didn't, GET THEM TOMORROW!

I had a small one on Dragons ML as i made a decent amount on the Stormers game, so ended up 2-0 on a cruisy Friday night.

Have a couple of plays for Union tomorrow and one for AFL.

Firstly, AFL - Swans -12.5. I think they'll win by a few goals over the Kangas. Swans have been ultra impressive so far especially their new recrutis and Kangas just aren't there yet.

Union plays - Force 1st half ML @ $2.90, Force 1st half +5 @ $1.91. Here's my reasoning and it's pretty simple. The Force starts their games very well, in the past 4 games they have led at half time (2 of those games, they fell over in the 2nd half and the last 2 they have gone on to win). The Blues on the other hand are slow starters and have only led at half time in 2 games so far this season, out of 8 played.

Other Union play is Bulls -3 (i think line will climb a little). Reds have been really impressive in the past few weeks and challenging for a top 4 spot. This is where i see this game as a let down for them. Reds were on a 3 game road trip in SA and from what i've read, they only arrived back in QLD on Monday. Having said that though, Bulls are on their 4th leg of the Australasian tour. I think that the Bulls has a bit more class and the biggest matchup is going to be Steyne vs Cooper and i believe that Steyne will win that matchup which would lead to a Bulls victory.

Yeah true mate I knew something was up but I hope now all the talk about the tigers being serious contenders will stop. When it comes to the crunch teams like storm and dragons will blow them away. Took a hit on the afl where I took the over then hedged with a 4 point window and wouldnt you know it it landed right in the middle, hedge just cheered me up with his pic though of the cheerleaders.
Thanks Hedge
