Ah ok, I didnt know the 3rd State of Origin game was being played because Queensland have
already won the series, so they can make it 3 from 3!

Todays game in the NRL was another "over" winning bet, Dragons v Raiders, 26 - 36, thats
big scoring with about 5 minutes to go.

Heh - I know what you mean - but this win for Queensland would be the first "clean sweep" in about 15 years.

I've just this moment arrived home from a week on the road and Canberra have won 36 - 26 in what seems to have been a fairly tight contest.

[Timelord2067]

Word on the street is that the Dolphins aren't going to win today due to numerous players injuries and some of their squard are in the Queensland team for State of Origin on Wednesday evening local time.

Well its not looking that way now at half time 14 - 6 to the Titans! I dont have a wager on
this game today.

and I didnt bet on either of the games yesterday. . . Just when I thought the Eels would
be good to back for the remainder of the regular season, the Warriors hooked them good!
Eels 10 - 46 Warriors

and the Rabbitohs in a close game with the Bulldogs couldnt close the gap at the end.

Really bad game for Los Pumas against the All Blacks last saturday.

First game played by Los PUmas since november, i think we need to play more often to make some decent world cup, at this level we are trash.

We cant lose 41-12 in home and we only made some points in the last part of the game.

[Timelord2067]

I'm sorry to hear they lost - I was wondering how the game went. 


Anyone else get caught up in the endless cloudfair saga over the last few days?

Yes i got problems with cloudflare this days, today no but yes yesterday and some days ago, its seems like the forum its under ddos attack i imagine.

In other thread i read something similar and we are all experiencing this, also i read if you made some really long post maybe doesnt charge the page.

[Timelord2067]

I'm rolling my three posts into one...

I found the forum wouldn't even load for more than 48 hours via Tor so I had no clear idea.

Tonight is game three of the State of Origin. Can Queensland make it a clean sweep with a third win? On betting sites they are the favorites.

The Women's Under 19 State of Origin has just wrapped up after sixty minutes of game play with the Queensland women winning 20 - 14

Next up in a few minutes is the corresponding men's under 19 showdown.

Tonight, the Newcastle Knights are probably going to pound the West's Tigers into oblivion.

The first thirty minutes the Knights poured in a try every six or so minutes with their goal kicker failing to convert. In the last ten minutes of the first half the tigers scored and converted two quick tries, but then weren't able to capitalize on that comeback in the second half and as expected lost 34 - 18

Tomorrow, the Broncos, Sea Eagles and Storm should be able to put play their opponents fairly comfortably.

No its not good to be losing at home with such big margins, ok its the All Blacks but
still - with the World Cup just around the corner I would have expected a closer game.

Its true too that they need more games, I think South Africa made a really smart move
to have their clubs join the Northern Hemisphere competitions (United Rugby Championship
and Heineken Champions Cup)

Actually if I can remember rightly Argentina were looking to join the Six Nations competition
a few years ago.

Yea I didnt bet on todays game, I thought the Tigers might put up a tougher fight.

[darxiaomi]

Well today the Pumas wake up and make a really good victory in the last ball against Australia. I think Argentina really needs this win because we only play two games with this and if you lose the few games you play your trust can be very damaged so its a x2 victory.

Australia its also in a really bad run as i can see.

[Timelord2o67]

Australian players haven't done well in the Pacifica Competition this year and their international counterparts lost to Argentina overnight in Sydney.

Argentina have certainly put themselves on the International Rugby map this year. I certainly won't be discounting them from now on.

@darxiaomi you must be over the moon with Argentina's win. 🥳

[aoluain]

Great win by Argentina against Australia in the Rugby Championship. 31-34 - they left
it very late to score a try on the 79th minute. Plenty of action though with 65 points scored.
@darxiaomi did you make a bet on your team and qhat were the odds like?


NRL

I'm 2 from 2 so far, great wins from the Broncos and Storm yesterday. I got the
Broncos at 1.47 after the Bulldogs scored to level at 12-12.

With Rollbit ↓ they were streaming the game, so I was dipping in and out
to watch the play!

[Timelord2067]

I just picked up $10 on a 2:1 wager on the Warriors who beat the Sharks 44 - 12 !!! 

The Dolphins Vs Panthers game is on and the less said about that the better...

Hopefully in a little while the Eels will prove too slippery for the Cowboys.

My $10 win on the Warriors I'm rolling over to Argentina with an 88:1 bet 81:1 bet - some one just bet me to those odds.  With Argentina's winning performances recently, I'm happy to drop $10 on them next week.

Still no word from Welsh if he wants to put some money on out small pot.

[aoluain]

Eels by 1 point!

I didnt bet on any games today, I was hoping to do an in play bet on the Panthers, it didnt
work out that way!

And I was actually thinking of betting on the Sharks last night but held off...luckily. Well I
have to say both the Warriors and Broncos have really turned themselves around compared
to last year, nice win with the Warriors Timelord!


UNION

as much as I would love to see Argentina beat South Africa - I'm not sure they
can do it in an away game?

Thanks for yours kind words guys!. Well not really, i not bet because of two things.

1- Asides of i know about Rugby, i dont fully trus my knowledge in this matter, like i have in football for example.
2- I cant bet on Argentina because of FEELINGS, i know we are one step below the other countries, but my heart wants to put a win always, so for security i dont bet.

And i dont think we can win against South Africa, i think that is one of the most difficults teams to beat for Argentina.

[aoluain]

Well we could say every team is beatable!

Argentina are number 8 in the world rankings, to anyone else who wouldnt be too knowledgeable
about Rugby that position is good, and it is but to reach the top 3 takes a big jump in performance.

The new coach appointed in 2022 - Michael Cheika is a brilliant appointment. He was coach of the
European powerhouse Leinster and set the foundations to the team they are today and I think he can
do the same for Argentina, he just needs a bit more time I think.

South Africa are in 4th spot in the world rankings and are World Cup holders so they are no push-overs
and the SA clubs are strong performers in Europe.

[Timelord2067]

Stats via the tab.com.au website:



As you can see after 20 weeks of game play both the Newcastle Knights and Wests Tigers have fallen off of the betting site all together with no hope of entering the top eight much less winning the minor premiership let alone the top four or grand-final.

Well we could say every team is beatable!

This is true - just ask the Tigers.  I've been saying there needs to be relegation like the UK football does with it's teams, but that doesn't happen (not yet at least).

The NRL women's regular series begins this week, but there doesn't seem to be any sites taking wagers as yet.  Are there any Women's fixtures featured on the Rollbit site?

[aoluain]

ATM on ROLLBIT they just have the outrights listed, maybe towards the
opening games they will list the games as each round progresses?




Regarding relegation in the NRL, I think you are dead right Timelord, since I'm kind
of following it the Wests Tigers in particular have been at the bottom.

But

Look at the warriors though this year, they are doing really well in the top 8.
(after the regular season last year they were second last!)

[aoluain]

NRL

Very interesting first game in round 21 of the Australian NRL tonight/tomorrow wherever
you may be! The two bottom of the ladder teams play each other, Dragons v Wests Tigers.

Funny - touching on what Timelord stated before there are no consequences to being in either
position on the ladder other than picking up the wooden spoon!

So Timelord - who are you backing?
I'm staying away on this one.

[Timelord2067]

I agree the days of collecting wooden spoons year after year need to come to an end.

NRL 2023 Round 21.

I'll go with the Dragons tonight who are the more favoured team.  The Warriors are starting to look like they may be final four material.  The Broncos need this win - I think the Rabbitohs came off the boil too soon, but it should be a good game.  The Titans have had bursts of potential so I'm going with them over the Roosters who seem to be underachievers this season. The Storm will take some of the shine off of the knight's suit of armour.  Again I'm going with the less favoured team out of the Cowboys and the Eels and the Sharks will devour the Sea Eagles in another close game.  Wagers placed via NitroBetting ↓

Round 1 of the "expanded" Women's NRL Kicks off on Saturday with two new teams entering the competition.



I'll have to look at last year's ladder before I make any predictions.  The Women's Broncos (Fillies) are something of a powerhouse.  I may well have to sign up for your betting site so that I can place bets on them.
