[sportznut]

Roosters by 12

PANTHERS by 4
ROOSTERS by 16

IF you dont want to take the $1.30 the Roosters to win, the HT/FT double at $1.57 is a better bet

[Floydyboy]

I think the panthers might be a sleeper goldmember whats the score with non starters

[goldmember]

non starters ?

[goldmember]

A little multi:
Panthers 1-12 $4.25
Roosters 31-40 team pts $3.50

$20 @ $14.87 = $297.40

[sportznut]

I think Floydy wants to know who isn't playing.

At this stage only Luke Lewis from the panthers is out,J.Galuvao and T.Pulatula will play,B.Anasta will have a hit out today with his sternum gaurd on and he gets throug ok will play.

Cowboys ok, but the Roosters are playing down L.Ricketson's early departure from training, but if it wasnt such an important game he wouldnt play as the same with M.Crocker, he is still having kneck problems but will play.

Battle of the halves i think...Gower won't be intimidated by the big guys running off Sherwin....i think it will be a close game and it all depends on whether they can shut down Sherwins kicking game..watch the big Bulldog forwards stick it to the Panthers but the panthers have shown they can handle that.
I reckon the dogs by 2..

The roosters to be the ultimate professionals and control the game...the Boys from the north will try hard but won't be able to shake the Roosters..
Roosters by 10

Well, not sure what my model says, but I'd think the cowboys +12.5 isn't too bad. Same deal with the AFL, such a public side (roosters) will hardly ever be value.

As to panthers bulldogs, I see this as a coinflip, so the panthers with the start.

Not betting on any of these though, these are just opinions.

[sportznut]

Well done Cowboys. Great effort! Just a bit of inexperience cost them I think.

Almost a magnificent victory for good over evil. Sorry Goldmember, but you know every fair minded person wanted a Cowboys win. :wink:

dont think inexpereince cost them,,,just a bad shot at field goal,,,simple as that.

Sportz, if they were playing ANY OTHER side i would have been cheering louder than anyone for the cowboys,they have been my best team to punt on this year,for or against,17/18 collects.I dont you can blame it on any one thing,even though thr ref was PATHETIC towards both sides[T.MANDER $1.10 to ref the Grand Final,]Didnt see MATT.Bowen at all for the 1st 60 min,all he did was catch and pass plus put a few kicks in, and only ran with the ball late in the game,which was very dissapointing to watch after his last few games,oh well next week, ive been waiting since 1980 for this, REVENGE!

[Floydyboy]

How did the roosters pull up (injuries) or is it too early in the week yet
and by the way Good Luck .

[goldmember]

Floydy, might be a little early as i havent heard anything yet, but i think they all should be fit, but Ricko will be very lucky if he gets off, nothing in the Hodges one, he'll be right, bowen was being tackled and was falling down when hit.
