Goldmember,

Apparently the surface at the Showgrounds is not up to scratch, so I heard that the Bulldogs/W.Tigers game has actually been transferred to Gosford.

The Cowboys are a selection for my line betting system this week. Those stats don't fill me with a whole lot of confidence!

Compared to last week, this round is a lot harder with no good things at a good price, so i'm going to punt on points scored in multi's and single bets to look for value.

most probably,
bulldogs-w/tigers under 47.5 @ $1.85
cowboys-penrith under 47.5 @ $ 1.85
bulldogs pts 21-30 @ $3.00
souths pts 11-20 @ $2.55
elmasri 7-10pts @ $2.55
kimmorely 7-10 pts @ $2.40
eels try @ $2.20
sharks try @ $2.45
cowboys goal @ $6.50

Floydyboy, no value teams standout this week due to 3 top sides having the bye and S.O.O on , I'll limit my bets to saturday's games at this stage, and back penrith to win a tight,low scoring game.

Will take the start w/tigers. The bulldogs have 4 forwards missing to s.o.o, price,o'meley,ryan and mason and the w/tigers have s. prince out. I backed and watched the bulldogs last week against the saints and in the 1st 25 mins they were standing flatfooted and running one out,making 5 metres every run until they scored, and with those players out i cant seem them making inroads into the tigers defence against sattler, laffranci senter and skandalis and with b. marshall and fitzhenry running at them they will bust them wide open just like the the saints did last week. ************ IT, just talked myself into backing them straight out, GET ON the WEST TIGERS .

cheers

Well I Hope your off the mark cos ive had a ton on the treble
Lions Penrith Canterbury @ 5.15

Sorry about that, hope you win, but i find the best form guide is my gut and it is usually spot on. The guts are 50/50 on this game so looking at it realistically i will take the start and have something on the win in multis

cheers

Bulldogs Line-2.5
Canberra Raiders Line+17.5
Penrith Panthers Line+1.5
Adelaide Crows Line+23.5
Kangaroos Line+32.5
Brisbane Lions Line+22.5
Geelong Cats Line+38.5
Hawthorn Hawks Line+43.5

$13.55 Fixed Odds $10.0

Looks ok to me , but i would have taken a smaller start on hawthorn ,geelong,kangaroos and the raiders and got a better price, good luck.

Gold,
Agree that all the games are open to be taken and heaps of close calls this round although I still think that the Bulldogs will sneak in against the Tigers (even after their good win last week against the Raiders)...Melbourne will have have to tighten up in the forwards against the Raiders (who have Davico, Wiki and Croker returning and need to win this one to stop the rot)...a away Raiders win will not surprise.

If the Rabbitohs and the Eels cant beat the Warriors and the Dragons (respectively) this weekend then they will be cellar dwellers for the rest of the season...the Dragons have lost a bunch of players thru injury, SOR and naughty phone calls...the Warriors at their lowest point (mentally, physically and bad haircuts)..both games are there for the taking! (Betting on the 2 games though is risky given the recent erratic playing form and poor defence of all 4 teams!)

Actually, the same could be said for the Manly v Sharks game..although Walker has been able to provide some attacking spark at first five on top of some great forward work esp from Harris, Menzies and Haumono...
I'm picking Des's boys are on a roll and will actually be better without Monaghan on Sunday!

Panthers should come back from a well earned rest and score enough points to head off the Cowboys (even without captain Gower...) Gold Coast have been steady in recent outings but lack any of the class and team pattern of Johnny Lang's outfit.

Good luck...and go the Maroons! LOL!
