This is definitely an unusual season so far.

We can definitely say that for sure, The Wests Tigers beat The Panthers 26-6, not even close.
There was definitely something going on, the odds were very close before the match.
Cant believe that result.


In the Rainbow Cup Connacht did the business against The Ospreys 26-19. So 1 win
and 1 loss but overall down.

and 1 loss but overall down.

Congratulations on the Win!  I hope you got a nice payout from the game.


The Panthers were thrashed 26 -6 by the Wests' Tigers ending their 12 game winning streak on game 13 of the 2021 series.



Wests' Tigers climbs up the ladder to tenth overall up from thirteenth place.  I'd listened to a game (around week five) on the radio - at the end of which the commentators felt that Wests were coming together as a team and if they were to play as consistently in later games as they'd done that week they would definitely be in the finals.

The Panthers fumbled in their game play this week and the better team won.

[aoluain]

I had 0.4mbtc on The Panthers to win but a smaller 0.2mbtc on Connaught so im down
between those 2 games.

I played conservatively with Connaught, they were mid table and I dont believe they can
reach the final. Also we thought that one of our key players Bundee Aki who has
a spot on the British and Irish Lions tour this year would be "minding" himself in
these matches but of course he didnt hold back and scored a try in the first half.

Connaught are in 4th position with 14 points with the Glasgow Warriors leading on 19
and there is only 1 round left before the final and a lot of the teams have yet to play over the weekend.
Benetton who are unbeaten are the ones to watch.

The score itself doesn't begin to describe just how badly Queensland played in the first of three matches in the State of Origin for 2021.



As happens New South Wales has a quick try and then the Maroons just fall apart.  Tonight was a record loss for Qld who have it all ahead of them.



After the start of the second half I was on the nitrogensports.eu website and the odds for Qld to win opened out to 12:1 so I put a small wager on hoping for a turn around, but it wasn't to happen.

[aoluain]

Yes big enough divide in scores, like a lot of the games so far in the NRL.

For this round of the NRL I have 4 picks, ones I have played so far so I'm
sticking with the Rabbitohs, Eels, Panthers and Storm. I need to claw back
some losses but I'm sticking with my conservative picks.

The Panthers though are close odds to The Sharks, 2.54 v 1.52, last week the
panthers were close odds and lost.

[Timelord2067]

I got a fairly posative responce from Nitrogen Sports concerning addding the Women's League games (especially the State of Origin) to their roster of games - the teams are from completely different areas (including indigenous and ADF teams) - the men's teams' composition could do well to take a leaf out of the Women's League.

Will Nitrogen Sports be enabling bets on the Women's Rugby League State of Origin match to be held on the 25^th of June?

Hi Timelord2067! I sent this as a request to our lines team to see if we will offer lines.

Don't hesitate to contact us for any other line requests or if you need assistance.

We would imagine that in todays world sport should be "inclusive" from what
you say I gather mens NRL isnt?

I like to watch womens rugby from time to time, they can be just as talented as the men
but dont get the recognition and viewership they deserve.

and yes The Panthers falter again by 1 point, strange - the losses (2) are all
happening recently now after 9 rounds.

This season has witnessed the reemergence of the one point field goal (and the introduction of the two point field goal).

As half time approaches, the score in the Storm Vs Warriors is 14 - 2

[aoluain]

Yup 1 point field goal.
I suppose after the 48-0 loss to The Panthers in may The Sharks didnt want a repeat
and had an 18-0 lead.

Storm take the win against The Warriors bringing my wins to 2 from 3 with Eels to play later.


In the Pro 14 Rainbow Cup final round I had Munster to win which they did 54-14 against
Zebre of Italy.

The final between the winners of the northern table (Benetton of Italy) and the southern
table (Vodacom Bulls, South Africa) will take place on the 19th of June in Italy.

...

It's been text book wins this year for the top about six teams.  I wasn't able to place bets over the last couple of days due to wagers reaching their limits (hopefully they are meaning the gambling site themselves, not I)... I've got that many wagers ahead now I've got to let a few clear out.

You''ll be pleased to know the Storm and the Eels got the job done this afternoon with just the Dragons to toast the Bulldogs tomorrow for this round.

[aoluain]

Yes thats happy days!

I love toast so I have a wager on The Dragons.

I rarely go all in on wagers with my pot, I always leave a bit so I can pull the trigger
on a quick bet....like the Dragons.

In what would have to be an upset win, the Bulldogs managed to slay the Dragons 28 -6




Coming up on Fridays next week is the Women's NRL State of Origin being played on the Sunshine Coast, two hours hours drive north of Brisbane.



I'll be placing wagers on the Queensland Team to win (can't do any worse than their male counterparts disastrous match two weeks ago)

[aoluain]

Well not much toast going on this morning unfortunately.
I wont be betting on any Origin games but best of luck Timelord!


I wanted to put a bet on the Vodacom Bulls to beat Benetton in the
Pro14 Rainbow Cup Final but betting is closed for the Bulls.

Rugby League

I've only just recalled I needed to place bets this week 15 of the NRL 2021 season.

Last week has some last minute one point wins and some poundings too:



This week's line ups are as follows:



I'm going to pick the Broncos, Sharks, Panthers, NZ Warriors, Raiders, Storm, Eels & Sea Eagles.  (the storm and Eels as a two bet parlay paying just $1.10 combined)


Rugby Union:

New Zealand.

I'm going for the Highlanders in the Trans Tasman Cup

France.

La Rochelle and Toulouse to win in the French Tournaments.

[aoluain]

I have 3 bets on for this weeks round of the NRL, Rabbitohs, Eels and Storm.

Obviously The Rabbitohs have whitewashed The Broncos earlier today.

I would like to put on The Panthers but their recent run isnt great so its too risky for my liking.

Well... Early in the season I had a feeling the Broncos might pull one of their mid season stunts and suddenly spring back to life.  Clearly, that hasn't happened, so I probably won't put another bet on the Broncos for the rest of the season.  What I find amazing about this season is how the loosing side in a 40+ win to their opposition just doesn't do *anything* to defend their territory, or go on the offensive.

[aoluain]

The Broncos are not finding that second gear like you mentioned Timelord. There seems to
be a really wide gap between the top and bottom teams, lots of big scoring difference games.


The Pro14 Rainbow Cup final is on tomorrow, I cannot place a bet on the clear favourites,
The Vodacom Bulls, obviously sportsbet are not giving Benetton a chance at all!

[Timelord2067]

...

I wouldn't advise anyone to place another bet on the Brisbane Broncos for the reset of this season - they seem doggedly determined to be the "Wooden Spooners" for a second year running.  (Serves them right too).  My website of choice isn't loading properly, otherwise I'd jump on and place a bet on the Pro14 Rainbow Cup final.

[aoluain]

Yup Broncos at the bottom of the table, its not going to happen for them.

My 3 picks won hansomely this weekend and The Panthers are back to
winning ways hopefully.


PRO14 Rainbow Cup Final

There was a reason The Bulls of South Africa were heavy Favourites to beat
Benetton, They won all their games in the outhern conference of the tournament
and in the PRO14 tournament earlier this year Benetton failed to win ny games,
So the difference in class was very clear which is why Sportsbet were not
taking bets on The Bulls.

But... Benetton 35 - 8 Bulls

https://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2021/0619/1229150-benetton-stun-bulls-to-win-rainbow-cup-final/

Benetton capped a remarkable Guinness Pro14 Rainbow Cup campaign by upsetting
the odds to thump the Bulls in the final.

Having failed to win a single match during the regular Pro14 season, the Italian club
end 2020-21 as Rainbow Cup champions after stunning the winners of the South African
section of the tournament in front of 1,250 fans in Treviso.

[Timelord2067]

Round 15 of the 2021 Season of the NRL ended with the Manly Sea Eagles totally obliterating the Gold Coast Titans 56 - 24 !!  The Sea Eagles trailed the Titans 8 - 24 at half time and then poured on 48 unanswered points with some 20 of those points in the last twenty minutes.  I caught the last twenty minutes on the radio while out for a day trip and the two ABC commentators were both critical of the Titans and the Sea Eagles (the former for having been leading at half time) and the Sea Eagles apparently slowing down play once in a winning position.



Round 16 does not start for another week as the 2nd game of the State of Origin Series is played this Sunday evening (changing the format from earlier years of Wednesday evenings spaced three weeks apart between the first, second and third games)... It's "do or die" for Queensland this Sunday.



The one off Women's State of Origin is played this Friday evening, both teams need to put in a solid performance:

I'm going to pick the Broncos, Sharks, Panthers, NZ Warriors, Raiders, Storm, Eels & Sea Eagles.  (the storm and Eels as a two bet parlay paying just $1.10 combined)

Yup Broncos at the bottom of the table, its not going to happen for them.

My 3 picks won hanssomely this weekend and The Panthers are back to
winning ways hopefully.

It looks like a fluke win that saw The Panthers loose last week, no dobut they are back to winning form.

PRO14 Rainbow Cup Final...

Sounds like some good games were played (hopefully you profited from their WIN$$$)
