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

[Wade Dwayne]

Is it raining in NZ or is it just a sloppy game? Not complaining though as the under is looking good.

[hels]

I just put a bet down on the Raiders +2.5...who's with me

I haven't decided anything yet but the line has moved towards the wests in the past 30 minutes (I don't know how much that really matters). This game is so tough to cap and with the 46.5 line it should be a shootout. But then I looked at TAB and teams total points and both teams favoured to score between 11-20 and 2nd fav is 21-30 at near equal odds. :S

fairly sloppy and lots of errors/penalties. There was a professional foul called against Manly around the 18th minute too so that definitely slowed the pace down quite a bit. I think the refs are trying to hard to be noticed in this match.

I figure Canterbury is undefeated at home while the Wests is unproven on the road, so Raiders would be the play

[hels]

Made a small play on Wests ML..... late movement was towards Canberra so it had me doubt a little bit.

BOL everyone!!

The shootout is on

I fretted that Manly game for awhile there, because I had the -2.5 and not -2. Whew!

[shallowtanky]

hels i watch odds fluctuate from open to nearly kick off time on game that i'm interested in betting with nz tab. you cannot see % movement.

Well done Hels, 2/2 today

Thought the refereeing in this game was pretty ordinary as well, farrar sin binned when there were half a dozen holding down in the tackles that were worse with no sin binning. I think that ginger haired ref often likes to be the centre of attention as well.

Crazy comeback from the Tigers, but if any team can run down an 18 point margin like that and end up winning by 13 it is the Tigers. Glad I tipped em, wish I had of had some cash on them.

Nasty
I felt like vomiting when I saw that. Hope he makes a quick recovery.

That footage reminds me of Newcastles Cameron Ciraldo when he dislocated his ankle last year.

On the bright side at least he made the dunk

[alias69]

there was another incident a few years bak when nathan brown afl broke his leg, u could actually c his bottom part of leg in separation, if that makes sense. it took nearly 18 months to recover but was never the same after that.

There isn't much that makes me cringe, but the slow mo replays had me closing my eyes a little bit....

Why did he let go of the rim though? Usually you'll see guys do a flat body (legs out) chinup to slow their momentum. Honestly, if he was worried about getting a Technical for hanging onto the rim too long (which I think is a stupid rule) then the NBA needs to rethink that rule.

Fans love when players show emotion and that's what creates excitement and sells tickets. Why they ever decided to stop a positive action creating enthusiasm and 'pumped upness' is beyond me.

I feel bad for Bogut, his season is done and this could be one of those things that effects his career forever (I think it was his shooting arm -- righty?).

Godspeed.

Also curious to hear peoples thoughts on canterbury/souths game. Kinda looking Hels and Kingsr's way.

But after last weekends matches, theres no way I could tip against canterbury. South still look really inconsistant and were sloppy against cronulla. They get Croker back this week, which should lift their pack a bit more for this game. Last couple of games between them have been close as well. For me its either dogs or a no bet ..... Sandow and Sutton are too inconsistant imo, not willing to put money on them against a quality side.

Knights/Panthers game, siding with Knights at home, Knights are a solid side, plus panthers missing pritchard is a big loss. Waiting to hear others thoughts on this game, I'm not confident with this game.

Funny clips by the way hels.

Yesterday was definitely a nice comeback after the 11-0 embarassment
I've only looked at the afternoon game so far and everything is pointing towards the Knights at home. Waterhouse is out for the Panthers so that's just another blow to them. Newcastle has Vuna ad Cross back in the lineup so that's a huge boost for them. I think the 1.55 Knights ML is where it should be and I'm leaning towards that being the play right now.

Playing at home should be a big advantage and if the weather is good they should exploit the Panthers on the wings.

Liking the Knights at home today.

Liking the knights here myself hels, got them at 1.62 for 1 unit....Lets cash it

[Wade Dwayne]

laying under in both games today. The tigers/raiders game yesterday only got to 50 and it had alot of action but served as proof that defense is a huge priority for teams this year.
goodluck to all

[hels]

I see the 1.62 as well and tempted to load it up right now, but then I see the knights-4 at 1.93 and considering maybe 50/50 each way. If this is going to on the higher scoring side (44.5) do you guys think there's value in the Knights-4???? I should just make the easy smooth play with their ML but I don't want to pass any value up.

[alias69]

how is weather in newcastle. i heard it may rain up today. maybe under looks gud.

[kingfish28]

G'day guys after an up and down weekend I had a good win on the epl last night so I'm having one big play today. Tossing btwn two betas e
knights -3.5 or the under 45 which I really like today. Any thoughts?

[shallowtanky]

Knights -3.5 is a value play. if the weather is bad under looks good. my book doesn't offer under/over points so I'm going with the -3.5.

Also taking Dogs -5.5

BOL to all.

Shallow, still haven't decided but I am leaning to the under. Really wanna hit it hard. Last minute play by the looks of it

[Domestic]

On the knights today, BOL all.

[hels]

Newcastle weather is currently overcast and the day forecast: Isolated showers in the east, chiefly along the coast. Fine and partly cloudy in the west. Light to moderate south to southeast winds.

[hels]

Knights Straight Up $200 to win $326 It feels like a board consensus on the Knights today!!!!!

[hels]

I gotta good feeling!!!

Knights-4 $228 to win $428

[kingfish28]

Took the under boys whatever I made over the weekend. Up $550 so it's all on the under.

BOL
Starting off the Knights Defense is looking great!! I know you were happy with the "no try" decision of the video ref, which unfortunately for all the Newcastle backers was the correct call

[alias69]

so far so gud boys, hopefully they can carry on after HT. 2nd half +.5 newcastle sounds tempting.

[kingfish28]

Oh well under is shot, win some lose some.

[hels]

wtf
