Floydy, the only reason i went for the raiders is they are playing the worriers, But they have only won 2/6 away games this year, R1 against stgeorge 21-12 and R3 against the cowboys 19-18 ?.Since then, they lost 38-24 to the sharks, 28-8 to the roosters,26-12 to the w/tigers and threw the game away against the storm 22-18, letting in 2 trys in the last couple of minutes.Playing any other side i would tip against them, but not this time.

The roosters have already have been backed into $1.75 giving 3.5

Ill be having straight out Multi on the teams ive put an asterix next to and Ill be looking at those NRL extras this weekend

ok, have you been reading my mind, LOL signing off now.

cheers

Picking who will win and picking who you think is value is totally different. I'd like to see where you guys think the value is.

Here are my systems plays for the NRL:

Bulldogs +5.5.
Storm -6.5
Eels +9.5
Cowboys +10.5
Warriors +2.5
Panthers -6.5
Sharks +10.5

Average price of $1.98.

Gold,
Reckon the Warriors have even more problems with Tony Kemp at the helm...who has he coached? Heard from an insider that Stacey Jones is heading for England...apparently personal issues have hurt his game these last few months...mmm he has not even looked one tenth of the player he was a couple of years ago!

In the EPL a lot of teams do well for a couple of games after a management change...but Im staying away from the Warriors they played like wooden spooners last week- mind you the Roosters played some incredible football too!

Reckon the Storm will come out on top of the Tigers after an initial tight struggle in the first 2/3 of the match (with Cameron Smith again shining- he has come on in leaps and bounds), Newcastle and the Broncos will win...the Dragons to win against the Cowboys (only because they are playing at Win Stadium) and Penrith even without their starting halves will be too good for Manly.

As for my Doggies...they have a strong forward pack but lack the class and finishing out wide...Roosters are slowly getting their first team out on the paddock (which is really scary) and looked formidable last week...going to be a beauty and lots of points scored! (Hopefully not a repeat of the 35-0 thrashing Canterbury received from Easts last time around)...Doggies will have to smash the Roosters forwards into submission (a very difficult mission) to have any chance...
Good luck all this weekend!
