I agree about the books as I said in a previous post they are not a benevolent society ...Ill grant you hometeam advantage and I think a real good foward can make a big difference (I think maybe Manly are a good example of that, Kennedy making a big difference ,Im a fan of him and Menzies ,whether Manly go on with it is yet to be seen ) Sitting here scratching my head Im thinking as much as these guys are trained up ,match fitness and include team cohesion in that probably play a large part .so the first 3or 4 rounds are probably are more guess work than the rest of the season and from a betting point of view I think the rep matches throw a ************ spanner in the works . BUT Im afraid Im with Searay when he said if youd have seen these 2 teams last week you couldnt possibly have backed penrith HOME OR AWAY OR ON MARS and I dont know how you do your ratings but you couldnt have have used this years form to have Penrith in front ....I dont know maybe Im just looking at things the wrong way ......My 50 worth of multis will pale into the shadows (cant spell insinifigance ) to those who backed the storm into favouritism though......anyway no offence meant Im just rather perplexed .....CARN THE BRONCOS
