2nd game in a row - screwed in the final minute...

**reddZor** · 11-08-13, 05:14 PM

thats ****** up ay champ.

**Mase of Base** · 11-08-13, 05:34 PM

Had -48.5 in the end (NZ Tab didn't have a total for this for some reason), didn't even bother watching the second half thought it was done and went for a surf. Tough loss.

**Shazzadude** · 11-09-13, 02:46 AM

What way are you leaning tonight Sando?

**bartlomiej1978** · 11-09-13, 05:58 AM

Fiji +23,5 looks pretty good for me, I would say it will be close game, England should win but not more than 2 tries

**Donkey** · 11-09-13, 07:17 AM

I like england -23.5 and ireland +58.5. Ireland at home with likely rainy conditions

The Fijians have good backs, a decent forward pack(the 3 Sims brothers and Bukuya) but their hooker, the 2 halves and the bench are shit. Can they score 16-18 points?

**the tross** · 11-09-13, 07:54 AM

Im on England first half -10.5. I think they rip in tonight and make a statement.

**Rustyglobes** · 11-09-13, 08:16 AM

Call me a sucker but I just have to take the under 64.5 in the Australia match, I don't see Ireland scoring much and see the Aussies reaching around the high 40's mark with points. I'm hoping the weather plays a factor in turning into a low scoring scrappy affair

**sando** · 11-09-13, 08:22 AM

Fiji v England

1.5* Under 50.5 (-110/$1.90 Bet365)

That bet might sneak in mate, but only the rain will probably save you. Australia by 50-60 I think (even in the rain).

Australia v Ireland

1* No Ireland Try (+125/$2.25 Centrebet) *Under the Ireland 1st Try Scorer market

Damn Centrebet only has -28.5 on offer for the first half, not game to take it though, 5 unanswered trys in one half of league is a fair effort!! Good luck with your plays tonight Sando

Any opinions on the over under play? Do you see Ireland scoring at all? The English kept them scoreless in their game, i see we (Australia) have been very even with how England has been playing so far in regards to results against opponents

**the tross** · 11-09-13, 08:55 AM

i like your 1st half aus line but the market got pulled. You've freaked them out maybe?

**selte** · 11-09-13, 11:21 AM

Phew, thanks Sando!

**plekz** · 11-09-13, 12:23 PM

So what's the weather like in Ireland where the game is being played then?

**Donkey** · 11-09-13, 04:45 PM

Some interesting kickoffs from pat richards that game. Nice calls

Yeah, very impressive especially the -22 (considering Ireland was defending very well, they gave up WAY WYA WAY to many penalties though)

**Donkey** · 11-09-13, 05:22 PM

An early market on bet365 for samoa vs france has samoa as only 10 point favs

Winner plays fiji, loser plays england in the quarter finals. Samoa pounded PNG 38-4 and I rate PNG high than france despite their loss to them. As long as their are no major outs this should be a walk in the park for samoa. However, game is played in France, which may count for something.

Im taking Samoa -10 as well mate, think easy to cover, Franch are crap
Wales-Cook I? game for honor only should be many points scored, taking over 46,5

Big Play Alert...

This is the match I have been eagerly awaiting ever since seeing Samoa in action against the Kiwi's in their first hit out.

Samoa @ France

4* Samoa -12.5 (-105/$1.95 Centrebet/Sportingbet)
* -14 available for $1.90 at Sportsbet/IAS, lines not released yet by Bet365, Pinny or 5D. This play is good up to -14 for 4 units. -14 to -16 I would play for 2.5 units. Do not take this play over -16 for anything more than 1 unit. Predicted closing line for this match is Samoa -16

**For those that aren't familiar with my methods, this is a particularly large play for me. My unit range is 1-5 however I have never posted a 5 unit play in 18 months at SBR and have probably posted less than a dozen 4 unit plays. This is also the biggest play I have posted in this World Cup so far.

***There are two matches tonight. This is a play for tomorrow - the last preliminary match of the tournament before the finals begin.

****Seeing as it is such a large play, I will try and find the time to add some analysis.

**bartlomiej1978** · 11-10-13, 07:18 AM

What about today games Sando?

**sando** · 11-10-13, 07:47 AM

Wales v Cook Islands

Tough match to pick, truly a 50/50 scenario and with the late money that has come in for the Cook Islands most markets have been reduced to a pk em anyway.

Have a small lean towards Wales (which goes against my entire tournament strategy of Pacific nations over European nations), mainly because this is their 3rd and last match at home and they have been so disappointing so far. They are a big rugby league nation and they have a couple of players retiring from international duty so expect a solid performance (if not spectacular).

The play I like the most is either the under (47.5) or the Cook Islands team total Under (22.5) however I think I'm going to sit this match out.

Will probably have a play for the late match - Tonga v Italy -

fcuk samoa, bunch of primitive meatheads like their union team. no fcuking discipline, no kicking game. no brains. hope france finish them off now

what a poor ending of the first half ... that should have been an easy score by the samoans

**Donkey** · 11-11-13, 03:05 PM

I thought this match was supposed to start now. I see a sin bin and 3 on report already, lol

**sando** · 11-11-13, 03:06 PM

HT Play - Rugby League Wolrd Cup

2* Samoa -4 (-108/$1.92 Sportsbet)

**horja1** · 11-11-13, 03:56 PM

... great second half by Samoa

**Mase of Base** · 11-11-13, 03:59 PM

Great call Sando, 6 unit play it ended up for you!

France played pretty well just lacked the class to score then those big Samoan forwards got a roll on at the end. Wonder how many will get suspended for the Fiji match what was it four on report in the end I think.

Milford is such a talent has he decided where he's going next year? Heard Broncos rumors at the end of last season that sounded likely.

**davopnz** · 11-11-13, 04:04 PM

all over fiji against samoa, happy to get the miracle cover but they are a disgraceful team.

**Johndrama** · 11-11-13, 04:11 PM

ehm I'm sorry to ask such a dumb question but samoa did win by 16 points right? I have the -12.5 and bet365 told me it's a lost bet. Must be a mistake right?
