Pinnacle puts their line out late on Wednesday night.

I think the Highlanders will easily win tbh. The Chiefs are much like the Hurricanes, poor pack and great backs. The Highlanders have one of the best packs in comp and will use their same effective game plan, starve the Chiefs of the ball. It will be a close game. Look to go 1-12 both sides and unders if the line is around 45-50.

How high can they set the total for the Breakers tomorrow night?

Do we take the over regardless?

rjc · 02-22-11, 01:28 AM

Only just had confirmation my Aunty and Uncle who live down there are safe

Its unbelievable, hard to comprehend the damage down there. Death toll will sadly be well into three figures

rjc · 02-22-11, 01:56 AM

It looks horrific on the news!

Beniphone · 02-22-11, 02:33 AM

Yea it's crazy, my firestation has just sent 4 people and possibly a tanker and another 3 people tomorrow and we are in the centre of the north island. No doubt this it's gonna go 3 figures. Old flatmate said her cousin is still missing. Thoughts and prayers to the effected.

None of my books are up yet - but loving St George at those prices.

Heck, I thought the prices would be the other way around with Stg as favs. I think afew people are worrying about then coming from 30 degree temps into 2 degrees, they have gone over early so they should adjust abit. I'll be backing Stg if my book comes out like that

rjc · 02-22-11, 10:07 PM

Chiefs -3.5

might have to rethink the play.
Thoughts going out to the people in NZ.

Beniphone · 02-23-11, 12:07 AM

I'm actually thinking about backing the chiefs at that spread

I really like them in this spot but I was hoping for a better number.
Are you playing the nbl game tonight?

Beniphone · 02-23-11, 12:57 AM

Yea, I wonder how this earthquake will effect the highlanders performance. Cantabury vs canes line hasnt opened yet also

Was just looking at the bball now, my books showing -7.5, quite high, sounds like afew ppl are gonna take the over hmm

rjc · 02-23-11, 01:28 AM

I'm allready on the under just small but.

hawley · 02-23-11, 01:58 AM

Had to be over or no play IMO

These two teams play too little defense and commit to many fouls to be comfortable with an under

rjc · 02-23-11, 01:59 AM

So much for the under!

Still a long time to go

I considered the under for a while but had a bit extra so took a punt with the over

Unreal, Breakers score 12 points in the third quarter

Good call on the under

rjc · 02-23-11, 03:25 AM

It will go over!

rjc · 02-23-11, 03:30 AM

Cash the over!
Good call Hawley.

hawley · 02-23-11, 03:35 AM

Had no place winning that over after that 3rd quarter

Im just rooting for the Breakers to somehow steal a win here

hawley · 02-23-11, 03:42 AM

Unreal, tied game now

rjc · 02-23-11, 03:50 AM

What a Finnish!

Should we pound the chiefs Beni?

Duff85 · 02-23-11, 05:29 AM

I had no piece of this game, but my PartyBets balance got owned by the Breakers most of this year. Had an under on one of their games earlier in the year and it was a blowout, however my under was just holding. Like 5 seconds to go Breakers are on 98 points, they toss it in quick race down the court and drop a meaningless two ball - meaningless to everyone except the crowd who won free burgers because the Breakers hung up 100 and me who had my bet go over.

Hope those fukks choked on their BK. I'm not bitter.

RLF · 02-23-11, 12:08 PM

Why all the love for the Chiefs?

Haha, always sucks when you loose and a large group of people win free burgers... lol

Just no love for the highlanders, there team has no spice, if they play well this week I'll be convinced but until then I think they Havnt got shit. Only fear is them controlling the game and shuting the chiefs backline out. Tricky

rjc · 02-23-11, 05:31 PM

The highlanders won't be able to just stroll out there and pick up where they left off last week, and the chiefs won't make that many mistakes again.

RLF · 02-23-11, 09:43 PM

Chiefs have a powderpuff pack. The Highlanders will dominate the set-pieces and starve the Chiefs backs of ball.

Beniphone · 02-23-11, 11:39 PM

Tab has just opened the line with Stg as 1.75 favs, anyone on the uk books should take advantage of the 2.40

Beniphone · 02-24-11, 04:17 AM

Chiefs -2.5
Gonna go against the highlanders, chiefs coming off a weak loss to the brumbies and highlanders coming off an upset win over the hurricanes. Highlanders Havnt beaten the chiefs since 2004. Chiefs are not starting with lenard or Donald which is abit of a worry, the other worry will be otago playing there asses off in dedication to the earthquake victims down south. Most things point highlanders but I'm gonna go with my gut and back the chiefs.

Beniphone · 02-24-11, 04:19 AM

Also gonna put a little punt on isac ross to score @ 6.75 since he's starting

RLF · 02-24-11, 04:19 AM

Fair enough. I've got Highlanders +3.5 so we can both win. Isaac Ross could score, he plays like a winger - doesn't like the tight stuff.

Also got Reds +5.5 - I'm a Tahs fan and this will be really close.

Beniphone · 02-24-11, 04:37 AM

England -4.5
England hosting France at twickenham, 2 best teams in the 6 nations facing off. I think englands going to be too much for France at home. England lead 3-2 in the last 5 played at twick, 7-3 in last 10. Can't wait for this match.

Beniphone · 02-24-11, 04:44 AM

Ireland -5.5
Wouldve preferd -4.5 but I think the Irish will have it in them, playing in murrayfield but know they can't afford to loose anymore games. Won 4 of last 5 at murrayfield. Both teams Havnt impressed so far, Irish in the better form nearing taking out the French

RLF · 02-24-11, 07:21 AM

On England as well. Ireland 1-12 for me. They could easily win this by <6 and the Scots won't give up so easily like they did against Wales.

Duff85 · 02-24-11, 07:55 AM

England-4.5 here as well. One early one so far on the Super Rugby - Bulls-12.5.
