I thought I had placed a bet on the Dolphins - I'll check during the day.  I've just got up - Time for coffee first.  (Shame about my parlay tanking on the first game)


*edit*

Not looking good for the Dolphins with the score being 28 - 6 against at half time.

*edit again*

The Sea Eagles won 58 -18 at full time (good thing I'd already gone to bed I think - that would have been a horror to watch)  I haven't been able to pick a winner all week it would seem.

Well I'm happy my bet on the Sea Eagles materialised along with the bet on the Broncos
because the Dragons toasted the Rabbitohs, that was not supposed to happen, Rabbitohs
were in 2nd spot, Dragons in last

Broncos back into that 2nd place behind the Panthers. I wonder what their odds are to win
the premiership?

Here comes....... the argentinian guy, yes i remember you told me , to advice you before the games, but i dont really follow so much this im full on football. But yes Argentina wins again in Seven, what a speed have Monetta.

Here the Video resume

Ouch, that last pass by Perez of France was a shocker, easy intercept by Monetta
and over he goes under the posts for an easy try - great play!

I was beginning to think nothing would go my way this week (in more ways than one) then the Broncos and Panthers came through with wins tonight. I'll have to have a look at the replays tomorrow.

The first game the bunnies staged a late comeback scoring back to back tries in the dieing minutes but were unable to equalise the score going down 36 - 30 against the Dragons.

[aoluain]

Wonderful news!

Are you going to come to Australia for the Rugby World Cup? We should see if we can entice @Welsh to come over as well. That would definitely make us an international cheer squad.

I would love to go! I have a friend in Melbourne who I went to college with many moons ago
and we are still in contact so I could tie that into the trip for 2027... That would be a rugby/
Bitcoin meetup!

Well not much has been going right for my bets in the NRL this season so far, there
have been a lot of really surprising results which I assume have killed a lot of bets.

[Timelord2067]

Storm (third on the ladder) beat the Sharks (fifth on the ladder) 58 - 10.  I would have accepted 28 - 10, but not 58 - 10



We can see on the Ladder (now that all top eight have played their games this week) there is a clear order starting to emerge.  Due to the 17 teams where each team has a BYE in turn together with the Sate of Origin causing smaller numbers of teams to play in the week prior and of the series, teams have also had a second BYE gaining two points, but as you can see, the Panthers on points are ahead in more ways than one claiming the number one spot.

Tonight's game is between the Bulldogs and Eels which is occurring as some States celebrate the King's Birthday today.  (New Zealand celebrates the King's Birthday the weekend prior)

Are you asking to me?. Well im not going, because first of all its quite expensive to travel from Argentina to Australia, and second im saving for next football american cup next year on USA.  But thanks for your kind invite.

You can expect a lot of Argentinians in the WC anyways, because a lot of us lives on Australia or NZ making working hollidays or something related. Not my case clearly.


About incoming WC, i hope Argentina do a good one, but its difficult to know,.

[Timelord2067]

Yes, you're definitely welcome to come for a visit during the World Cup of Rugby.  I'm in the same delema being at the opposite side of the planet to the vast majority of sporting events that occur around the world.


The Eels had an emphatic win over the Bulldogs with a 34 - 12 win overnight.  The bulldogs were denied a late try in a game that was very one sided.

The Eels win also pushes the Dolphins to eleventh on the ladder.

[aoluain]

Waow - those slippery Eels - at this stage I wouldnt be surprised if the made the
grand final. . . again! In the space of a couple of rounds they are almost in the top
8, they might just replace the Sea Eagles when they play this coming round - interesting!

Its a bit sad to see the Dolphins slipping down the ladder, their season was looking
very promising early on but that really was due to the lack of performance from some
of the top teams.

The team of the season so far has to be the Broncos!

Rugby Union TOP14

The final of the French Top14 league is on the Saturday the 17th, Toulouse face La Rochele.
The odds are 1.84 to 2.04. I havent been following this at all this year but I have a small bet
on La Rochelle purely because I'm backing the Irish connection, Ronan O'Gara the coach of
La Rochelle. They are of course the Heineken Cup Champions of 2023.

There was very little difference between the two sides at the end of regular season, Just a
drawn game for Toulouse th firrefence between 1 and 2.

   Team              Played   Won   Lost   Drawn   For   Against   Pts Diff   Bonus   Points
1   Toulouse      26           17   8   1           682   474           208           11           81
2   La Rochelle   26           17   9   0           673   479           194           10           78

French Rugby is in a really great place and after this fnal this year the focus will be on the
World Cup and how the hosts France will do

[Timelord2067]

I've placed the occasional wager on Toulouse and some of the other teams. Only one or two games at a time every few weeks so I haven't really been following the highs and lows of the competition).

Most Union games are behind paywalls here, so I probably won't be able to see it. Hopefully they win!

[aoluain]

Yea well some are behind some form of pay wall here too, apart from the URC and
Six Nations I think, those games are shown on Terrestrial or Local TV. For the Heinken
Champions Cup, Gallagher Premiership and Top14 they are behind pay walls.


League - NRL

R16 kicks off tomorrow with the Cowboys v Panthers, I have a bet on th Panthers @ 1.73
which is a great price, only thing is they have had a very unsettled season so far.
I will be so pi$$ed off if the Cowboys who have really fallen away this season manage
a win tomorrow. . .

I put a couple of dollars on La Rochelle who are paying $2.10 at the moment

In the New Zealand Super Rugby Pacific semis, the Blues are at $26.00 against the Crusaders (suspended) with that game all but sewn up.   Likewise, the Chiefs are on $1.16 against the Brumbies at $5.00 even (which kicks off in about 23 hours from now).  Interestingly, ^{(and I must say I've never paid attention to the little gem)} Australian teams have never won against NZ on NZ home soil in 27 years in the Super Pacific Cup.  Had I been paying attention to that piece of information I would have bet for NZ ever time they play Aust across the ditch.  Both the Crusaders and Chiefs are powerhouses of the local game and I almost never bet against them.

Round 16 kicks off in two hours from now.  Like you my money is on the Panthers for the first game (where the money is at for that one) the next two games I'm going against the money by picking the Roosters and the Sea Eagles over the Knights and Eels respectively.  In the third game tomorrow I'm back to the money with the Storm and Sharks over the much maligned Wests Tigers and Bulldogs who seem to be giving it their all this season.


And finally... over in the US Major League Rugby (typical of the Yanks to mix League and Union into one name) I'm going with Dallas ($1.60), Old Glory DC ($1.26) and Toronto ($2.60) to win over Chicago ($2.25), Rugby ATL ($3.60) and NOLA Gold ($1.46) in their respective games.

What the absolute Fock...
The Cowboys only went and beat the Panthers 27 -23! Such a strange season this is
in the NRL, very different to last year. I suppose its a case of the Cowboys showing what
they are capable of.

I'm just doing two more picks this round, Storm to beat the Wests Tigers even though
the Tigers have been performing quite well and are still at the bottom of the ladder.
Second I'll go with Sharks over the Bulldogs.

[Timelord2067]

The Cowboys late surge to win has pushed the Tigers trouncing of the Panthers a few weeks ago out of being the talking point of the season. Both matches were unexpected wins and shows all teams are definitely playing to win.

Tonight there are three games. Hopefully no more boil overs. (Except the two pics I've made).

TOP 14 FINAL - Toulouse 29 - 26 La Rochele

With jst a few minutes to go and Toulouse trailing La Rochelle 22 - 26 Romain Ntamack
scores a try on the 78th minute and converts to take the lead with next to no time for
La Rochelle to score.

From 8.26 on this youtube video you can see the try, brilliant individual try beating the
La Rochelle defense > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PazJHlmEa38

Pity for La Rochelle ^{and our bets Timelord!} not to complete the double

[Timelord2067]

Yes, I've bet on Toulouse in the past (and that's where the money was this time). Sounds like it was a thrilling game.

I've given up on the Tigers making a late comeback (the Sharks win over the Bulldogs was a foregone conclusion).

In two days time Queensland should wrap up the 2023 season of the State of Origin series with a pounding win against the New South Wales wannabes.

[Timelord2067]

Kickoff for game two of the 2023 State of Origin begins in under an hour from now.  One eyed Queenslander that I am I have wagers on both the mens and women's SOO Queensland teams.

Congrats to you Queenslander Rugby Fans!! Great win by Queensland in the second test
blowing NSW out of the park 32-6

I totally missed it - I would have and should have put a bet on Queensland . . .


NRL - Round 17

I'll make a few bets I think, Warriors to beat the Dragons @ 1.44
Eels to beat the Dolphins @ 1.44
Broncos to beat the Titals @ 1.36

Re: the Eels, amazing how they all of a sudden from last week are in the top 8, I said it before
they will probably reach the GF after such a torrid start to the season.

Great to see the Broncos on top also, and hopefully they can remain there after R17

[Timelord2067]

Yes, it was an emphatic win - Qld Captain Dally Cherry Evans ran the length of the field to tackle a New South Welshman then two minutes later did a near similar run the length of the field in the opposite direction to set up and early try that lifted the team's morale setting up their crushing win.

[Timelord2o67]

Qld 14 - NSW 6 at half time in the Women's State of Origin being played in Townsville tonight.

💵🥳

Queensland has to win by more than eight to not just win game two but also take the series.

Can they do it? The second half is just beginning... 🤔

Yea was trying to follow the scoring at work, It was looking good for them at half
time but ended up losing the game but winning the series!

This is great for Queensland Rugby and all who support it!

I read this article after the game >
https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/state-of-origin/blues-win-the-battle-qld-wins-the-war-as-hosts-claim-womens-origin-glory-despite-game-2-loss/news-story/0054554fc476d4a553aa113bcbe2f798

Its all very positive for the womens game with record numbers of spectators.

North Queensland lived up to its reputation as a rugby league heartland, shattering
the crowd attendance record for a Women’s State of Origin match with 18,275 at
Queensland Country Bank Stadium to witness the spectacle.

Overall its been a fantastic series for the Maroons but an equally dissapointing one for
the Blues!
