Winner! Souths too good for the Storm 20-10. I set this one at 32.5 & was proven right. Video ref helped, but had they awarded Slater's try it still would've gone under. Well done by the Rabbits. I did not expect a 10 point victory.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS vs MANLY SEA EAGLES
ROOSTERS -2.5 @1.95 x2
The Roosters should keep rolling tonight. Square play with everyone factoring in the 2 extra days rest to prepare & Brett Stewart ruled out for Manly. But sometimes it pays to go with the crowd & the Minor Premiers should should win by at least 4 points.Comment -

I've of the best games I've ever seen. Roosters in a brutal win 4-0.
Too many plays, should've just stuck with the Roosters. Poor discipline cost me a profitable day.

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS vs NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
BULLDOGS -3.5 @1.90 x2
Even though Bulldogs haven't been impressive this year, in a sudden death finals game they should deliver the goods, experience is everything at this time of the year.
To be fair, have to disclose that I've used a bonus bet to hedge with the Knights at +4.0. so for me this game is effectively a risk free play. However I'm confident the Bulldogs roll to a big win & prove the Knights didn't deserve a finals spot over the Titans or Broncos.Comment -
Knights looking the much better team so far. What a try from Uate!Comment -
The bulldogs season is cooked they don't look like scoringComment -
It was all over for the Bulldogs after they couldn't score in that set against 12 men.Comment -
Manly & Storm are heavy faves for Week 2 of the finals. Only play I like so far is Knights +8.0.Comment -

MANLY SEA EAGLES vs CRONULLA SHARKS
MANLY -10.0 @1.90 x2
Without Carney it's going to be very difficult for the Sharks to cross their line and they'll give away penalties all night to slow down a relentless Manly attack. It's a square play and it remains to be seen how effective Brett Stewart will be on his return from injury. But there's just too much talent on this team and a 12+ point win is a likely outcome.Comment -
stewart outComment -
I still think Manly have a shot at covering the spread. Stewart being out makes the Under a good bet.

MELBOURNE STORM vs NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
Game Total UNDER 34.5 @1.90 x2
Got this at Sportsbet. Most books have the under at 1.85. It might hit 34 by kick off.Comment -
Were you at Miranda this afternoon?Comment -
I'm expecting 30-32 points tonight. Small margin for error although keep in mind their previous encounters this year have landed on 30 & 33. I read the Manly/Sharks game completely wrong but still confident the under is the stronger play in NRL sudden death games. Bennett coached teams usually take the 2 points in penalty scenarios as well.
However we could see another soft defensive effort by the Storm, and the Knights have been unpredictable all year, so they could bury the under by half time.Comment -
Wow. A huge win for the Knights as they hold on 18-16 to cash both plays!

At this end of the season it's all about experience and Manly have a proven track record unlike the talented but over hyped Rabbitohs. Too many points on offer to pass up. Also rolling with the Under. TAB NSW's offering 2.00, great value from the squarest book in Oz.
Good luck.Comment -

SYDNEY ROOSTERS vs NEWCASTKE KNIGHTS
ROOSTERS -7.5 @1.90 x3
The drug scandal has been overblown and should not stop the Roosters from executing their game plan. Knights beat the rubbish Bulldogs and out of shape Storm to get this far & do have a realistic shot at covering. But I'm going with best team in the NRL to book themselves a grand final ticket by 10+ points.Comment -
The drug scandal is agenda driven propaganda from the media, ASADA an the NRL have stated there is no investigation into this. Massoud also incorrectly leveled accusations against two Easts origin players regarding illicit drugs, when it turns out it was non-NSW club players.
I'm more worried about LOD's injury.Comment -
SBW in doubt tooComment
