Nice score 1st half. Need 2 converted tries to finish this.

Live betting at half time is now 41.5 pts over/under. LOOKING GOOD at 35.5pts.

Yeah true mate if the books have it at 41 we are looking alright. Two early tries will be nice then we get manly over the line

**kingfish28** · 05-17-10, 05:33 AM

one more under the uprights pete and we cash

**kingfish28** · 05-17-10, 05:49 AM

I havent watched much rugby last few weeks but I can tell you manly dont have ahope in hell of troubling the finals, there play is terrible and no idea how to score. fade this team quickly and you will start to clean up there crap

TONIGHTS GAME:

MANLY v PARRA: The sports books aren't giving much away here. Parra +4.5pts ( Was hoping to get 6-7pts ) and Over/under set at 35.5pts ( again hoping for 42-44 pts ).
Anyway, with what we're given I think Parra can win with the start and now I'm more inclinded to go with the over 35.5 pts even though IMO this game will be a very defensive minded game.But if one team can get on top this score will be blown away.

TIP: PARRA +4.5pts @$2.05 and OVER 35.5pts

1-1 for the night. Small profit with the $2.05 on Parra +4.5pts, but still rewing the chances in the 2nd half for the over.

Congrats to all..........

STILL GOT NEXT WEEK .....Till then

**Gee** · 05-17-10, 08:28 AM

good play. i got that wrong. could have gone either way though i reckon. well done to those who went with the eels.

**camel** · 05-17-10, 08:43 AM

I was about to take Manly -5.5 today, but had such a shit week so i decided to stay away.

Well done to those that took Eels!

**Domestic** · 05-19-10, 07:56 PM

So who is brave enough to take eels -9.5 at home this week?

would never expect parra to score more than 20 and sharks could always grab a pair of trys. Best bet would have to be the under again.

**GroundnPound** · 05-20-10, 12:30 PM

I got Sharks winning straight up. My mate makes me do his footy tipping for work and I picked Sharks straight up without knowing the line would be -9.5.

**TwoWays** · 05-21-10, 12:06 AM

Who's down for a little early NRL action, with Newcastle facing off against Wests?

**vmchockey** · 05-21-10, 12:09 AM

Anyone thinking of taking newcastle?

**Wade Dwayne** · 05-21-10, 12:17 AM

tonights total only at 42.5 for wests/knights. Was thinking something like 46 but this line is making me think the under with a chance of a shower tonight.

**Domestic** · 05-21-10, 12:17 AM

Expected the total over/under for the Newcastle game to be more like 46/48 instead of just the 42.5, I think this is a result of Newcastle not having a decent goal kicker playing tonight. Very tough game to pick a winner with no Gidley playing. Might just watch the first half then maybe back a second half play.

**TwoWays** · 05-21-10, 01:00 AM

If Wests didn't suck so bad right now I would pick them. I am hoping someone else had better insight into the possible outcome of this game. Sure wish there would be an early Union game on, but guess not.

**Domestic** · 05-21-10, 01:01 AM

O/U now 44 @ Centrebet.

**peterw111** · 05-21-10, 04:03 AM

TONIGHTS GAME:

Don't usually bet head 2 head with State Of Origin players missing. Tend to pick under/over and stick with AFL and others.

KNIGHTS v TIGERS: Knights lose more than the Tigers without their star players. Tigers were embrassed last week and told everyone publically.THAT ALWAYS HURTS.
Tigers should muscle up and win in a canter.

Over / Under set at 43.5 pts. I still think that both teams will throw this ball around and defence may be not seen at times. I'm going against the trend and going with the over on this game.

TIP: TIGERS -2.5pts and OVER 43.5 pts

GL ALL FOR TONIGHT AND THE REST OF THE WEEKEND....

**camel** · 05-21-10, 04:14 AM

For Union tonight, i'm thinking Crusaders can keep it close against the Bulls. +6.5 is on offer, Bulls have lost a couple of their key players due to suspension but their replacements aren't too shabby themselves.

Crusaders however have shown some pretty good form lately after falling off and almost missing the semis.

Taking Saders +6.5.

For tomorrow night's game, no question - Stormers -6.5 EASY. This Tahs team will not keep up against the Stormers and with the Stormers defence in action, Tahs will struggle to score in SA.

**aunty jack** · 05-21-10, 04:31 AM

good luck with your rugby plays, camel. from what i gather, you've had a pretty decent season. i'll definately take a piece of the stormers over nsw.

hard to get excited about this abbreviated round of nrl, with origin just around the corner. i'll save my pennies till wednesday nite.

cheers all.

**camel** · 05-21-10, 04:35 AM

Haven't had the best of luck with union lately. I layed low for a few weeks after giving dud tips. There's only 3 games left, so might as well try to end the season on a high.

Gl to all.

**PASS IT ON** · 05-21-10, 04:56 AM

Im on Knights to win and under 43.5, they predict rain and tigers have been so terrible in recent weeks, GL all

**TwoWays** · 05-21-10, 06:27 AM

Me and my freaking instincts. Should have played those Wests Tigers. Instead I just sat out this game. Nice hit Tiger backers.

**camel** · 05-21-10, 08:21 AM

Does anyone follow the English Super League?

**GroundnPound** · 05-21-10, 10:03 AM

I use to but that was when St Helens use to beat everyone by 40 points are they still the powerhouse?

**shallowtanky** · 05-21-10, 04:36 PM

Took st helens lastnight to win by 13+. they won by about 50

**camel** · 05-21-10, 08:47 PM

I took St Helens last week and they lost... they were giving up 20 points.

Should've followed my gut and taken them last night at -14.5. They murdered Hull KR by 50+ points the other week and they did the same again last night... DOH.

Good to see we are on the same thing.Good luck mate

Concerning Union tonight:

What do you think of Waratahs chances??.... I actually think they are playing their best football of late and can beat the Stormers, especially if Crusaders WIN aganist BULLS.

I know both SA teams will have BIG CROWD support but that will rally both crusaders and Waratahs to buckle down.....

Hope to hear your view...

PS What do you think about over/under both games....BULLS 50.5 pts.... SHARKS 42.5 pts

**camel** · 05-22-10, 02:12 AM

Just replied in the other thread:

"I've already taken Stormers at -6.5. Yeah, the Tahs been have pretty good in the past couple of weeks but Stormers haven't been too bad.

I just think that the key is Stormers defence."

Stormers have also been really solid at home and i think statistically Aussie teams haven't done well overeseas.

With the O/U, i hate playing totals, but i think Bulls and Crusaders would go over.

**Domestic** · 05-22-10, 04:12 AM

Small play on Eeels/Sharks over 36.

**Domestic** · 05-22-10, 05:17 AM

Come on, two more tries.

Didn't really want to bet aganist the Waratahs, but your statements had a lot of reasoning behind them.So in the end took Stormers -7.5 pts ( nice play to ).
Sets me up for a good rest of the weekend play,

Just woke up to hear the results......

WELL DONE YOUNG MAN.................
