Bronco's Adam Reynolds kick in the twentyith minute resulted in the Panthers first try.

They need sound effects with a trombone.

Wah-waash-waaaaahhhhhhhh




The Women's game was tough - ten minutes into the second half there were multiple stoppages with heavy knocks.

The Knights leveled the score with less than ten minutes to go then scored again with just minutes to go.




In the NSW State comp, the Rabbitohs were always going to win with some NRL players having been demoted essentially to their reserve grade which the Brisbane Tigers don't have.




Edit.

After doing the splits, Adam Reynolds have the Panthers another two points with a near identical short kick from the try line.

Half time and it's 8 - 6 after the Broncos score a late try.

Tomorrow, Australia has another tough game against Portugal


Normally we would expect Australia to blow these tier 2 teams away but obviously
they have been struggling lately. The odds would suggest they are still going to win...
comfortably. Australia 1.02 - 18 Portugal.

This is actually going to be an interesting match, Portugal were able to get a draw with
Georgia and like Australia have the same points difference ~ -20/21



League NRL Final

Compliments of ROLLBIT I can watch the match on their site as they are streaming it.

Despite how the three teams played, the favoured teams won comfortably by all accounts. While the Fiji score wasn't they much better, they did win.

Tomorrow, Australia has another tough game against Portugal while the Republic of SA should overcome a solid effort by Tonga.




The first of the NRL finals is underway. At half time, the NSW Cup winners Rabbitohs are leading 12 - 6 against the QLD Cup winners Brisbane Tigers

Soon the NRL Women do battle with Newcastle favoured to win, then tonight - the big one with the Panthers favoured to win over Brisbane.

Another bad game by Argentina, an easy win as expect, but i still notice the same mistakes we have in other games, and these are other players pure subs, but the same fails. We need to wake up.

And man i dont see the game, but close to the miracle was Georgia.

An easy win alright but the performance was not as good as we expected. There will
be a showdown match not between Argentina and Japan for that second spot in the pool,
I expect Argentina to win that too !



 Fiji v Georgia - terrible game to watch, so many handling errors. Fiji failed to score in
the first half and Georgia only scored 3 in the second and almost scored a try to at least
draw with the last play of the game.





Rugby League - Australian National League Grand Final

In a few hours the reining champions Penrith Panthers take on the Brisbane Broncos.
The panthers are favourite at 1.65, Broncos are 2.50. I fancy the Broncos and would
like to see them stop the Panthers from winning again!

Tonight my time Argentina should fend off Chile, Fiji should likewise decimate Georgia then Scotland should win over Romania.

Yes I agree with your winners.

I'm really looking forward to Argentina in 10 minutes, they really need a super performance
today to keep their hopes for advancement out of the pool. With a big score difference
they should go second today.



Welcome to the Rugby thread bitbollo.

You are right, there is little hope for Italy in this game against world cup royalty.

Italy have been improving slowly over the last couple of years, that doesnt
necessarily show in their results, one of the biggest improvements they have made
is at no.10 and being able to score penalties which was always a very weak position for them.

You are also right in that New Zealand are not quite the force they were in the past but
they are still very hard to beat.

The odds reflect what we talk about
New Zealand 1.01 - 22.00 Italy

Little hope Cheesy well you're too optimistic at least.
I try to find some betting sites that allow to bet on the game but nothing Sad only handicap betting Sad
I was tempted to place some bets related "under" for Italy, but ok nevermind.

Yesterday I watched the match and it was a kind of shock like in second part of the game when NZ was scoring literally every 5 minutes.  I am pretty sure I will never see in my life Italy rugby team be able to win against NZ Sad Roll Eyes

Wow that was some performance by NZ. Italy's set piece play was their weakness, line outs &
scrums were a problem and biggest of all the rucks, that is where they got turned over the most.

Italy had two great attacking plays which resulted in try's but their possession was too little.

NZ were phenomenal and Italy are not as bad as the final scoreline suggests.

You can bet under/over with ROLLBIT as well as handicap for the Rugby!

Japan won their match against Samoa in a close game.  Next up they encounter Argentina who are still managing to impress.



This morning New Zealand thanked Italy for providing a light training session before they go home.



Tonight my time Argentina should fend off Chile, Fiji should likewise decimate Georgia then Scotland should win over Romania.

In tomorrow's NRLW grand final, I'm picking the Newcastle Knights (first on the ladder) over the Gold Coast Titans (third on the ladder) who are playing in their first Grand Final.

I've followed the NSW cup even less than the NRLW games, so I'm only going to speculate the Rabbitohs over the Tigers.

Tomorrows game is interesting - New Zealand v Italy.


Even if actually my Country has performed well in this world cup, I don't know if there is a real match since each time Italy has ALWAYS loss (bad Sad ) against NZ.
Ok NZ is not the best NZ team that we have see but it's still too strong for them Sad

Final result today, Japan held out against a late push from Samoa, Japan did actually
deserve to win.

Pool D is hotting up now, Japan in 2nd spot and Argentina have to make their move on
Saturday against Chile, second spot could be determined by points.

In Oz the news is all about the NRL (and to a lesser extent in Qld) the AFL grand finals being played this weekend.

Brisbane has a team in each Grandfinal including the NSW Cup GF hours before the NRL women's and Men's GF

I'm off Sunday and hoping to catch some of the games. (More coffee I think)

Are you doing a multi bet on the Brisbane teams?

Very true the Pacifica teams can't be discounted, but I feel Japan will dig deep to win.

As I expected Uruguay won. I dont think it was a one sided game, half time score was interestingly-
Uruguay 12 - 20 Namibia. I wonder what the odds were on Uruguay  at half time?



Todays game- Japan v Samoa I have to disagree with you Timelord, I fancy Samoa and they are
favourites to win @ 1.61.

I havent been impressed with Japan so far and Samoa will want to secure that second pool spot
ahead if Japan and put big pressure on Argentina.

Even for a low end game such as this, the Uruguay v Namibia match was fairly one sided with the final score 36 - 26

Tomorrow, Japan take on Samoa and then the day after New Zealand and Italy clash.  I'm expecting Japan to win in a close game while New Zealand should easily win.  (and we're still only in week four)

Rugby World Cup

One game on today from Pool A, Uruguay v Namibia. Neither team have any points,
between them they have conceded 244 points.

I am expecting a Uruguay win today being the favourites @1.09 (Namibia are 8.0)

Neither team is going to make it out if the pool so its a game to get some points on the
board and register a win. It could also be a game riddled with handling errors.

Commentators have been doing some serious navel gazing during the last 24 hours since Australia's pounding by Wales. They're uncertain who to blame with calls for the coach to be sacked or resign. Others are focusing on the team being not of "international standards" - the way they are talking, it's as though they don't know anything about Rugby and are just looking to fill air time.

In any event Wales have won three matches, so they are definitely one to watch going forward.

Well a lot of commentators have been saying Australian Rugby Union is struggling
currently. Look back to this years Rugby Championship where they were beaten
in all 3 games so the trouble has been going on for a while now.

I dont know much about Australian Rugby to know how to fix it but the amount of
errors was quite high.

As for Wales they are into knockout territory now and will play second place of
group D I think.

This just finished, Australia were totally dominated by Wales. They held Australia to
two penalties scored in the first 10 minutes of the game.

Its now looking like Australia possibly wont get out of the pool, Fiji are in the driving seat
for that second spot while Wales are the first team into the quarter finals.



In both codes Union and League the error count really affects a teams outcome.
Because the game is built on set pieces of play if they are not executed properly a teams
ability to win is seriously compromised.


Who will win the Grand Final?  Unless the Broncos dial up their game play, it will be the Panthers who win.


The Panthers are definite favourites, the odds are close and I'm siding with the Broncos
purely for something different.

In another hour or so Australia faces elimination their clash with Wales who have won two games already.   I was just listening to the BBC World service make mention of this fact and the prospects aren't good.




In the weekend of preliminary finals of the NRL as expected, both the Panthers and Broncos are into the 2023 Grand Final with emphatic wins over their opponents.  In both games, the game play was fairly evenly matched, but after 20 - 25 minutes, the errors started.  In the Panthers case, they played better.  In the Broncos case, their oponents, the Warriors fell by the wayside.  I think the Broncos won simply by not having as many errors.

Who will win the Grand Final?  Unless the Broncos dial up their game play, it will be the Panthers who win.

Let me start this post with Irelands massive win over South Africa in the RWC.



No offence to either Tonga or Romania but Irelands WC campaign has started in ernest.
Super test Rugby, very close game and very tense. That was billed as probably one of the
most important games.

I didnt bet on this one and I dont know what the odds were for it beforehand.



Also yesterday as expected England trounced Chili 71 - 0. Chili's execution of the basic
set pieces was not great at all so trying to get a foothold in the game was going to be
impossible.

Georgia v Portugal - very exciting game, it ended up 18 points each.



League NRL

As expected its going to be a Panthers v Broncos Grand Final.
