I've put a parlay on early yesterday - I won't say what it is, but fingers crossed for next week ...

I thought you were going with a parlay?

First game of the NRL R7 today between The Sharks and Sea Eagles was a bit
remarkable. The Sharks leading 32-0 at the break, only scored 2 points in the
second half and let The Sea Eagles score 22 points, seems like they switched
off in the second half confident that the job was done, strange scoring.

If the Sea Eagles hadnt run out of time it could have been an upset, hard to switch
on with a mindest of job done in the first half.

I have - it hasn't happened yet.

Watching the condensed game, it seems the Sharks capitalised on a Sea Eagles' vulnerability (including the Eagles Captain Daily Cheery-Evans) and went through the gap time and again.  The Sharks defence was lacking which could come back to haunt them in future games.

First time I see a rugby post here, I see that you two are the ones that keep it active, I went in to see if it said something about my country (Argentina) that came out champion of seven.

I know a lot about rugby but only from my country, from abroad I don't know anything so you won't see me betting.

You're more than welcome to post and give us your thoughts on the strengths or weaknesses of the Argentine teams, International as well as domestic.

Welcome @darxiaomi !

Yes its mostly myself and Timelord keeping the thread alive, others have visited but
not regularly.

We indeed would love to hear your thoughts on Argentine Rugby, dont forget Rugby World
Cup is happening next year and no doubt Argentina will be one of the top teams.

I dont know as much about NRL Australia as Timelord but I enjoy the betting.

[darxiaomi]

Thanks for the kind welcome to me.

Well i dont know if the bookies have in their catalog the URBA tournament (the most important here in argentina) because the rugby went profesional in Argentina like 10 years ago, and today a lot of player still amateurs, for that you can see a lot of the Argentinian national team players playing in France/England, etc teams.

Yes the world cup its ahead but i dont know how strong Argentina can be, because Argentina its cutting the gap between us and the big teams like NZ, Australia and South Africa but still a lot to work.

[aoluain]

I havent seen that tournament listed.

10 years is quite a long time to try and develop the professional game, why are players
still amateur? is there not enough finance in the game?

The most famous Argentinian player in my country is Felipe Contepomi who played #10
for Leinster and scored 1225 points over 6 years. He is still currently with Leinster as a coach.

Last night's game between the Broncos and Bull Dogs was entertaining enough - by the twenty minute mark the Bull Dogs were winning 10 - 0 and at half time, the Bull Dogs were still leading 10 - 6.

After the break, the Broncos ploughed on the points.  With ten minutes to go I was thinking to myself the Broncos need to score again just to rub it in - and they did with five minutes on the clock, they won the game 34 - 14

Yea, what a finishing scoreline, we both had the Broncos to win, I was watching the
scoreline and was a bit fearful at the break, you just never know with the Broncos.

What a call Timelord.... but why?

https://www.nrl.com/news/2022/04/23/brooks-field-goal-sinks-rabbitohs-as-tigers-go-back-to-back/

A Luke Brooks field goal secured back-to-back wins for Wests Tigers after defeating
South Sydney 23-22 in a thrilling clash at CommBank Stadium.

I was placing the bests for this week (about an hour prior to the Tigers game starting last week) and saw their price has blown out to 10+ so I started thinking after five weeks of losses they might just be hungry enough for a win.  At the same time I saw this weeks price for a Tigers win was around five, so I clicked on the two wagers to make a parlay to see what the price would be, then wondered could they win back to back?

So I placed the minimum amount on a parlay ... and it WON!



I heard most of tonight's game on the radio and the last ten minutes was thriller - five attempts at a field goal (four by the Tigers, one by the Rabbitohs) with the last of five attempts scoring one point with thirty seconds to go, then the Tigers got possession of the ball.  Game Over.  I win.




Four wins from five bets with four left to go this round.   

[aoluain]

Thats a great bet Timelord, and I was thinking the Rabbitohs were not going
to let the same thing happen to them. It will be hard to bet against the
Wests Tigers next round when they play the Dragons.

I am 4 from 5 this round

Thats 1 from 3

The Leinster game was close, the final score was 28-23. The Leinster side was essentially
a "B" team with a lot of younger players called up for this round.

[Timelord2067]

Thats a great bet Timelord, and I was thinking the Rabbitohs were not going
to let the same thing happen to them. It will be hard to bet against the
Wests Tigers next round when they play the Dragons.

I am 4 from 5 this round

I'm now at six from seven bets with two games still to play.

This afternoon, the Eels walked all over the Knights to win 39 - 2 while in the first ten minutes of the Panthers Vs Raiders game it was tied at 6 - 6 however, the Raiders then went to the pub to watch the game and the panthers ended up winning 36 - 6.

The price for Wests Tigers has dropped considerably 2.27 against the Dragons 1.6 in the clash next week.  If the Dragons are plucked by the Roosters tomorrow, then it might be worth betting on the Tigers next week.

I've just managed to place a bet on tomorrow's Intrust Super Cup match between Burleigh and PNG Hunters

Burleigh - PNG Hunters Money Line Burleigh @ 1.11 Taken Amount: 0.06 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.067 mBTC

(Given PNG are competing at the Queensland State Level, were they to win the Cup, I'd have no hesitation in promoting them to the NRL for nexxt year and relegating one of the Queensland teams, probably the Titans back to the State comp until such time as they win at the State level again.

[aoluain]

Hopefully by the end of round 7 I'll be 6 from 7! but with the URC thrown in its not
great weekend for my Rugby betting unfortunately.

The Eels had to redeem themselves from last weeks beating, unfortunately it
was the Knights that were at the receiving end.

...the Raiders then went to the pub to watch the game...

love that, had a giggle to myself reading that. The Panthers are so strong ATM,
unbeaten so far and a massive points deficit built up.

[Timelord2067]

The Australian Defence Force team are playing Turkey - as we speak!

https://www.nrl.com/news/2022/04/25/australian-defence-forces-v-turkey-2022/

Score is nil all after five minutes of play.  (Thirty minute halves)




Twenty minutes down and Turkey just missed a try after a grubber kick.




2nd half kick off



Moments later, Turkey score and convert taking the score to 16 - 6



Final score 26 - 6

[aoluain]

^ Thats interesting and a bit random. Is that played every year between the Dragons and
Roosters? The game itself between the Dragons and Roosters was definitely a game
of two halves, Dragons only to score in the first half, 14loints and the Roosters to only
score in the second half, finishing
up 14-12.

The Storm met the Warriors with a tornado, 70-10

So here are my picks for Round 8 of the NRL

Two games which are very interesting for this round IMO are Dragons v Wests Tigers,
Can the WT's go 3 in a row?
and can the Broncos get themselves into the top 8 by beating one of the top sides?
