Wigan-Bradford, Super League Rugby

[englishmike]

Setanta, Channel 621, Friday 12.00 noon pst,

Wigan -2 -110 Stan James

If you've got access to Euro books back Wigan, I consider this a serious play.

[bigboydan]

Not playing it sir.

for those that don't have DTV, Setanta, Channel 406 on Dishnet.

[englishmike]

You're correct Dan, Channel 621 Direct tv.

Setanta is awesome. Need more of both codes of rugby, though, especially the French Top 14.

Mike, do you by chance know of a site that has historical spreads for rugby league like Covers does for American sports?

[englishmike]

I've never found a site that gives historical handicaps other than for the week of the particular game, as this site does and it also gives implied probabilities.

The lines and prices are moving but for some reason Stan james have only just moved from 10-11 to 4-5 for -2 which is still far and awaybetter than anyone else is offering. It could be because Stan James take most of the big Super League Rugby bets and therefore have a better balanced book.

Wigan should be playing at home in this match,but due to the fact that Wigan FC are playing at home tomorrow then tonights Rugby match has been moved to a neutral venue as the ground belongs to Wigan FC.This IMO makes this game to tight to call,whereas if Wigan were playing at home then i would just give them the call.

[englishmike]

Whilst I take your point, they're playing at Widnes which is about 15 miles away and still pretty much a home game given the support Wigan get from the area.
Bradford have worked hard for not much and I can only see this game going one way now.

[vanman]

Yes would have to agree,having weathered Bradfords early pressure Wigan now seem to have the game there for the taking.

Neutral venue, indeed. Anyone going there might get so depressed they forget how to tackle and pass.

[englishmike]

Anyone who lives in Widnes that doesn't follow Widnes follows Wigan, I would guarantee that's why they chose Widnes as a venue. Regardless of venue, I felt Wigan were playing better Rugby of late anyway. 18-8 now, this is looking good.

30-16. Great start to the weekend for me, hope some of you degenerates were on this good thing.
