My round eight pics are limited to just six games as Nitrogen isn't even taking bets on the Titans Vs Panthers, or, Knights Vs Storm games.  ^{(I'd even put a small parlay on the Dunces to win if it'd make Nitrogen happy)}

Brisbane Broncos - Cronulla Sharks      Money Line   Cronulla Sharks @ 1.25   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.125 mBTC
South Sydney Rabbitohs - Manly Sea Eagles   Money Line   South Sydney Rabbitohs @ 1.60   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.16 mBTC
New Zealand Warriors - Canberra Raiders      Money Line   New Zealand Warriors @ 2.11   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.211 mBTC
Canterbury Bulldogs - Sydney Roosters      Money Line   Sydney Roosters @ 1.18   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.118 mBTC
Parramatta Eels - North Queensland Cowboys   Money Line   Parramatta Eels @ 1.28   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.128 mBTC
St George/Illawarra Dragons - Wests Tigers   Money Line   Wests Tigers @ 2.29   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.229 mBTC

Sharks, Rabbitohs, Auckland Warriors, Roosters, Eels and the Tigers to maul the Dragons - Plus the Panthers and Storm to win their respective games against the bottom rung Titans 12^th and Knights 14^th.

As I said a couple of rounds back I'm not counting on the Broncos doing very well from here on in.  The Raiders may well put on a brave face after last week's drubbing, but I doubt they've learned their lesson.

Going into NRL round eight we have:

• #NRLtopSIX - Panthers, Storm, Eels, Sharks, Cowboys
• #NRLmidFOUR - Sea Eagles, Rabbitohs, Broncos, Dragons
• #NRLbottomSIX - Auckland Warriors, GC Titans, Wests Tigers, Knights, Raiders, Bulldogs.

[aoluain]

Looks like I got my bets in on the Panthers and Storm with Nitrogensports before
they closed off that.

So far I'm a bit dissapointed with the Roosters and Rabbitohs and surprisedwit the
Sea Eagles and Broncos, Lets see if the can at least keep their upper mid ladder position


Rugby Union - URC

This weekend sees round 17 on the URC taking place, The race is definitely on for
those top 8 spots for the QF's with just 2 rounds remaining, R17 and R18. This is
how the Table is looking:



I have two piddler bets on Rollbit

Munster v Cardiff Rugby - ML Munster @1.09 - Amount Taken: $2.00 - Potential Payout: $2.18

Cell C Sharks v Connacht - ML Cell C Sharks @1.22 - Amount Taken: $1.50 - Potential Payout: $1.83

[Timelord2067]

You could probably argue the Broncos saw my tweet and reacted by holding the Sharks out of the water, however, given the number of errors the Sharks made in the first twenty minutes before they scored, I doubt that.

The game advanced 6 - 7 to the Sharks in the last five minutes of the first half then during the break they must have been told to dial back the errors - the only trouble with that was they then failed to score and allowed the Broncos the advance to 16 - 7 with ten minutes play left.  In the last few minutes, the Sharks suffered a fatal blow when a try was disallowed and so they lost.

It was 1986 (apparently) the last time an NRL game finished with a score of 16 -7 (back when NRL stood for NSW Rugby League - and that's the problem even now:  The NRL is still a new South Wales-centric league...)

[aoluain]

OMG, I know I asked the question if the Broncos could retain their ladder positioning,
but not really believing they could.....

Well done to them, the result is not good for our bets. My confidence level for the Sharks
is getting less and less, not to score in the second half is very poor.

Are there other teams which could qualify and be competitive in the NRL? I know this
comes back to the conversation regarding relegation.

From a Wiki page I see ^{and didnt realise} there were so many teams from NSW.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_league_in_New_South_Wales

The headquarters of the National Rugby League (NRL) is in Sydney. Greater Sydney
is home to 9 of the 16 National Rugby League teams: the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs,
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, Parramatta Eels, Penrith Panthers,
South Sydney Rabbitohs, Sydney Roosters, and Wests Tigers, as well as being the northern
home of the St. George Illawarra Dragons, which is half-based in Wollongong. A tenth
New South Welsh team, the Newcastle Knights, is based in Newcastle.

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.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felipe_Contepomi

Sorry for replying so late.

Look what happens is that here the sport that monopolizes everything at a popular level is soccer as it is public knowledge.
The rest of the sports are played a lot but as secondary sports.
In the case of rugby, here in Argentina only middle or upper class people play it.

This leads to few people watching or following it in such a way that it is profitable on television (although the main tournament is broadcast by ESPN) and sponsors certain big brands.

Yes obviously I know him, if I remember correctly he is the top scorer of the team (national team) or now they passed him and this second I don't remember well.

In these years the emigration of many young players to Europe for wages is even greater. Even those who are bad travel on their own, for example, to a country that is starting to want to get into the world of rugby like Spain and play there for money.

I managed to pick up the last two wagers for round eight:  ^{(two from three this week so far)}

Brisbane Broncos - Cronulla Sharks      Money Line   Cronulla Sharks @ 1.25   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.125 mBTC
South Sydney Rabbitohs - Manly Sea Eagles   Money Line   South Sydney Rabbitohs @ 1.60   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.16 mBTC

Gold Coast Titans - Penrith Panthers   Money Line   Penrith Panthers @ 1.09   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.109 mBTC
Newcastle Knights - Melbourne Storm   Money Line   Melbourne Storm @ 1.07   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.107 mBTC

At half time, the Titans led 4 - 0 against the Panthers (during half time the price of the Panther's blew up but I wasn't able to get online quick enough when the prices flipped 10+ for the Panthers and 1.09 for the Titans.  By the 70th minute, the price had returned to favour the Panthers ^{(should have put more on the game )} - In the end I'm happy to pick up the small win.


Next week I've locked in the Rabbitohs to win over the Broncos.  The game should be on par with tonight's block buster Rabbitohs Vs Sea Eagles game.  The Sea Eagles lost a player in the ninth minute for a dangerous tackle/throw and had some good playing over the 80 minutes.  The first half really seemed to last a long time, but that was how exciting the game plays were, not a lack of play if that makes sense?  In the end on Full time, the Rabbitohs scored (but didn't convert) to win 40 -22 .

South Sydney Rabbitohs - Brisbane Broncos   Money Line   South Sydney Rabbitohs @ 1.29   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.129 mBTC   

Also next week, the Sea Eagles play the Easts Tigers.  For the moment, I'd like to say my monies on the Sea Eagles, however, I'm going to hold off till Monday or Tuesday before I decide.

No problem @darxiaomi

In Ireland where I am from Gaelic Games monopolises the sport scene, Soccer is
second followed very closely by Rugby Union. Gaelic Games has such a dominance
that we could partake more competitively in other disciplines but we dont.

All of our talented soccer players end up in the U.K. Support for U.K soccer teams
massively outweigh support for the national club soccer teams.

We really punch above our weight in terms of Rugby Union. It used to be seen here
as an upper middle class sport but that has changed over the last  20 or so years
since the game turned professional, its a slow process but more and more "average"
people are getting behind the sport. Hopefully it will happen for Argentinian Rugby
too.

I didnt bet on the Rabbitohs v Sea Eagles game, I havent been confident too much
on the Rabbitohs. Sea Eagles losing a player early on ith a Red card was always going
to spell disaster but the score line was even enough until around 50 minutes.

Thats really the only way to bet on the Panthers and Storm, wait for them to go behind
and the odds to change otherwise its hardly worth betting.

[Timelord2067]

IN a little under five hours the Auckland Warriors will take on the Canberra Raiders - the Auckland team will *probably* win, but after their sixty point loss to Melbourne I'm beginning to lean back the other way and think Canberra might be in with a chance even though both teams are in the #NRLbottomSIX .

This week, there were noises made to move the NRL grand final to venues other than in Sydney where it has been since the New South Wales NRL became the National competition.

Overnight, the New South Wales State based teams were instantly promoted to become "national" teams and a consortium banded together to parachute first the Broncos, Storm Titans and Cowboys and Warriors into the National competition.  None of these team existed before they made their way into the competition.

When the National NRL was formed, the Queensland Cup became something of an overnight irrelevance where it was once a major social event in Queensland's calender.

With #NRLrelegation, lacklusture teams would have one eye on being dumped from the highest game back to the various State Cups.

To my way of thinking, being in the bottom six would be almost guaranteed relegation with the wooden spooners a guaranteed dumping.  The winner of the State Cup would then be promoted to the National competition.

Of the bottom six, I would relegate the wooden spooners as well as one state team which would mean (as the ladder stands at the moment) the Bulldogs and Raiders would be dumped and two NSW Cup teams would be promoted to take their place.

Auckland would go home (and probably dissolve given it was a manufactured team).

Likewise the Titans would probably fold and like the Auckland side, their players would then want to be parachuted into the National teams - which would mean there would have to be a provision preventing players who have been relegated from then moving sideways into other teams.  Relegation means the team AND it's players are relegated for twelve months.  Ironically, the Dolphins (an actual state based team) are waiting in the wings and could replace the dumped Titans.

The Bulldogs would return to playing in New South Wales (as would Canberra I would imagine being an island in a sea of blue). 

Were relegation to occur, you couldn't have an identical named team playing at state and national levels otherwise you then have the headache of do the dumped national players get absorbed into the state based team?  Do the state based players then get dumped through no fault of their own?

If you look at the history of the South Sydney Rabbitohs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Sydney_Rabbitohs They had a forty-three year gap between Premiership wins from 1971 and 2014 - how many years would they have been relegated I wonder?  And would Russell Crow have funded seeding the team with star players that enabled them to win in 2014 had they been relegated I wonder?

[aoluain]

sounds like a big shake up,

Aere there many other people who would be thinking along the same lines as this in terms
of introducing relegation?

IN a little under five hours the Auckland Warriors will take on the Canberra Raiders - the Auckland team will *probably* win, but after their sixty point loss to Melbourne I'm beginning to lean back the other way and think Canberra might be in with a chance even though both teams are in the #NRLbottomSIX .

It turned out to be a very close game and as we have seen a few times so far in the
early stages of this season a field goad seperates the winner from the looser on 82"



Another very strange scoreline from todays match between the Eels and the Cowboys,
The cowboys gave the home side a right thumping, I just find that scoreline hard to
comprehend, The Eels just scored once....

[Timelord2067]

Are there many other people who would be thinking along the same lines as this in terms of introducing relegation?

To be honest, I have no idea, but I'm pushing it on Twitter and will see over the next few weeks/months what sort of interest it gets.  Something needs to be done about the one sided game play.

IN a little under five hours the Auckland Warriors will take on the Canberra Raiders - the Auckland team will *probably* win, but after their sixty point loss to Melbourne I'm beginning to lean back the other way and think Canberra might be in with a chance even though both teams are in the #NRLbottomSIX .

It turned out to be a very close game and as we have seen a few times so far in the
early stages of this season a field goad seperates the winner from the looser on 82"

That was a very nail bighting finish and could well have gone either way.  Fortunately, my money was on the Warriors, but it shows the two teams are about even and their positions in the #NRLbottomSIX confirms that.

Another very strange scoreline from todays match between the Eels and the Cowboys,
The cowboys gave the home side a right thumping, I just find that scoreline hard to
comprehend, The Eels just scored once....

The Cowboys were 15 - 04 with about fifteen minutes left to play then poured on twenty unanswered points.  The Eels just gave up.

After todays games, I am 1 from 4 games played

I'm now three wins from six outings, so I've taken a hammering as well.

This in a way is good for the competition, there are two rock solid ^{so far} teams, Panthers
and Storm, there are unexpected losses by the Rabbitohs, Eels and Roosters, there were
some unexpected wins by the Wests Tigers for example.

I think I will be reducing the amount of games I will be betting on the next round.

[Timelord2067]

Some of the lower ladder teams managed to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat over the week-end, however, as we saw with the 50 - 2 annihilation of the Knights by the Storm (with something like thirty points piled on in the last twenty minutes) there is still a compelling argument to seriously consider #NRLrelegation of the #NRLbottomSIX in any given year.

Five of the bottom six after eight rounds have won just two games a piece, so it's hard to say one or another are worse or better than any other of that five.  The Newcastle Knights have now slumped into sixteenth place a are vieing for the #NRLWoodenSpoon and #NRLrelegation

I will make a few bets later on on the NRL R9

Rugby Union - URC

I have two piddler bets on Rollbit

Munster v Cardiff Rugby - ML Munster @1.09 - Amount Taken: $2.00 - Potential Payout: $2.18

Cell C Sharks v Connacht - ML Cell C Sharks @1.22 - Amount Taken: $1.50 - Potential Payout: $1.83

My two small bets on the United Rugby Championship came in Green which is
nice to balance all the losses in the NRL.

There is one round remaining in the URC before the Quarter Finals and  there
is currently 3 Irish teams, 3 South African and 2 Scottish teams making up the top
8 which probably wont change after R18.

I'll also make my bets for the final round later.

[aoluain]

Rugby League - Australia

Ok so here are my picks for Round 9 of the NRL, I dont know whether to bet on
the opening game:

Rabbitohs v Broncos - both teams have been unpredictible in opposite ways,
both are on 4 from 8 ^{4 wins & 4 losses}. For the Rabbitohs thats poor,
for the Broncos its not bad so early in the season IMO.

Penrith Panthers v Parramatta Eels - ML Penrith Panthers @1.21 - Taken Amount 0.1mBTC - Possible Payout: 0.12mBTC
Manly Sea Eagles v Wests Tigers - ML Manly Sea Eagles @1.16 - Taken Amount 0.1mBTC- Possible Payout: 0.12mBTC
Cronulla Sharks v NewZealand Warriors - ML Cronulla Sharks @1.18 - Taken Amount: 0.1mBTC - Possible Payout: 0.12mBTC

North Queensland Cowboys v Newcastle Knights - ML North Queensland Cowboys @ 1.11 - Taken Amount $2 - Possible Payout $2.22
Sydney Roosters v Gold Coast Titans - mL Sydney Roosters @ 1.29 - Taken Amount $2 - Possible Payout: $2.58

[Timelord2o67]

The Broncos are going to be down a couple of players and like last week they will be playing at Lang Park here in Brisbane, so they might just pull a rabbit out of their collective asses.

I briefly heard PNG who are in the Qld Cup are considering bidding to be the 18th team in the National NRL.  If I can find an article online I'll post a link here.


In other news, Rugby will be played in Brisbane when we host the Olympics in 2032.  Details are almost nonexistant, however they should be good games with teams we here in Australia are unfamiliar with.

Thats a tough ask then for the Broncos if they are down some players, how good
are the replacements?


Rugby in the Olympics its about time, they already have the 7's game. I couldnt find
anything on Dr.Google about it.


Rugby Union

Quarter Finals weekend coming up in the European Champions Cup Competition and as
expected all 8 teams are realy top class.



I have two very sal bets on Rollbit both Irish teams, Munster to win ay home to Stade
Toulousain @2.95, not sure why they are not favourites . . .
and Leinster to win away from home to Leicester Tigers which I think will be a tough game.
Leinster are favourites @1.44.

Leinster are in line to possible win both the United Rugby Championship and this European
Rugby Championship which is the pinnacle of the club game here in the Northern hemisphere.

[Timelord2067]

I think the Broncos have been holding back this season as evidenced by their emphatic win over the Rabbitohs who just kept fumbling the ball.

OMG what a win, an absolute trouncing by the Broncos. I'm glad I didnt bet, I was thinking
^{as probably everyone else was} that the Rabbitohs were going to win.

I've heard people were getting five to one an hour before kick-off in favour of the Broncos (and putting hefty wagers on them to win too)

5 to 1 aint bad, I'm not sure that would have influenced me to bet on the Broncos though.


Big win by the Eels today against the form team the Panthers, I dont get it though,
the Eels are beaten by teams they themselves should be beating and then they go and
beat the top team and as visitors, anyway not a great start to R9

I have to re-consider the betting strategy, I cant afford to lose any wagers really given
the odds and the amounts wagered.
