Yeh, I guess I'm going to have to sign up with them sooner or later.
I was text following both the Wests Tigers men's and Roosters Women's games side by side on my computer screen. The ladies was a straightforward one sided affair while the Dolphins and Tigers was a blow by blow even afair.
Hopefully next year the Tigers moral will build up after knocking off a couple of big guns this season.

Yes, the Warriors are serious grand final contenders (never thought I'd say that) with their emphatic win overnight putting them in third on the ladder. In the later game, the Eels scored in the first eight minutes, then were pummeled by six unanswered tries going down 12 - 34 against the later blooming Roosters who I picked. I may end up with a parlay payout after all.
This after, the money is on wooden spoon tigers to beat the Dolphins who I'm backing at $3.30

Yes well done the Warriors but they couldnt make the +11 points for my bet! anyway along
with the Broncos they are both the teams of the season regardless of a grand final appearance.
Wests Tigers v Dolphins - its just finished and on the 76th minute to be able to kick that pressure
penalty kick to win 24-23 is fantastic. They have ran some teams very close this season
but come up short.
In the Rugby Internationals, the only Georgia Vs USA bet I could find was USA +28.5 @ $1.85 and
Italy Vs Romania +35.5 on Romania at $ 1.87
If you go onto ROLLBIT they have the matches listed!
Georgia and Italy are indeed big favourites, the only way to back them is by handicap.

Also this afternoon are three of the NRLWomen's games.
In half an hour the Cowgirls take on the Sharks. I'm backing the Cowgirls who are ahead on points. Later, the Tigresses take on the Dragonets. Same again I'm backing the Tigresses . Similarly, I'm going for the Hens over the Titans.
Tomorrow, the Maidens will ride rough over the Fillies then in game five, the Raiders will turn the Eels into sushi.

2 games scheduled today, I'm betting on only 1 though - The Warriors to beat the Sea Eagles
with a handicap of -10.5 to get some value @ 1.62 the Warriors ML is 1.2. I have to try and
make something of my abysmal NRL season!
I'm gonna skip the seemingly evenly matched Eels v Roosters, 10th v 11th, both have a
lot to play for, Roosters are favourites though at 1.66 and I see Timelord you are backing them.
Havent yet decided who I'll back tomorrow and Sunday...

Ah unforunately the Australian women were beaten by England! thats a pity, it would have been
such a great acheivement for the host nation to reach the final.
So yea some Rugby internationals coming up on Saturday and you are right to go for the favourites.
Italy play Romania which could be quite an interesting game. In terms of world rankings Romania
are only 6 places behind Italy in 19th spot so this could be a real test for both teams, I wouldnt
like to be betting on it though.
Funnily enough as with the first round of games there is very little talk here about these, come
closer to the RWC and t will be all Rugby here in Ireland.

I can't see there being very many changes of position on the ladder for the remainder of the regular season.
Panthers, Broncos, Warriors are the top three. Either Canberra or the Sharks will take out the fourth spot, but I can't see any of the remaining top eight spots changing.
While I've been saying the Sharks have been quiet achievers this season, they fumbled in some crucial games and probably won't make the Grand final, or if they do, it's be similar to the Eels drubbing last year.

Three weeks, three spots, no room for error in semi-final scramble
Author Martin Lenehan NRL Senior Journalist Timestamp Tue 15 Aug 2023, 10:38 AM
As if keeping their season alive wasn't motivation enough for the ninth-placed Cowboys, the chance to deliver club legend Jason Taumalolo a win in career game No.250 should have them walking tall in front of the Townsville faithful on Thursday night.
A member of the Cowboys' 2015 premiership side, the hugely respected Taumalolo will become just the fourth man to play 250 games for North Queensland alongside Johnathan Thurston (294), Matt Bowen (270) and Matt Scott (268).
Still going as strong as ever 13 years after making his NRL debut, Taumalolo averages 149 metres per game in 2023 and will need every bit of that and more if the Cowboys are to roll the Sharks and join them on 30 competition points in the process.
"It only feels like yesterday I was playing alongside those guys ['JT' and Scott and Bowen] and now they are retired and I’m that guy that all the younger ones are looking up to," Taumalolo told media on Monday.
"It's a pretty surreal moment for me, it's a big achievement to play 250. I guess I'm officially an old-timer now and I'm pretty proud of what I've done.
"Being able to represent the people of North Queensland means a lot to me so to go out there and do it for the 250th time is everything to me."
Locked in a six-way struggle for places 6-8 on the ladder, the Cowboys have two away matches against the Dolphins and Panthers to round out their season so Thursday could be the last chance their devoted fans have to show their support.
Having made it all the way to a preliminary final last year only to be eliminated by the Eels, the prospect of missing the top eight in 2023 doesn't sit well with Taumalolo, who has played finals in eight of his 13 seasons as a Cowboy.
"We're in a position where we have to win all our games but I’m confident in the team we have and we're going to train hard and come up with a good game plan to take on the Sharks," Taumalolo said.
"We're coming off a bye week and a lot of the boys needed a bit of a freshen up so we have come in mentally and physically ready to play Thursday... we know what's on the line."
Two other sides with plenty on the line are the Eels and Roosters - one coming off a horror defeat compounded by an injury to their star playmaker, the other coming off back-to-back wins and set to welcome back a gifted halfback for his first game since Round 7.
Use the NRL's ladder predictor tool to predict the eight finals teams
Mitchell Moses' fractured eye socket added injury to insult as the Eels copped a 54-10 belting from the Broncos at The Gabba, leaving last year's grand finalists teetering in 10th place.
Sam Walker's 80-minute hit-out in NSW Cup showed he was ready to step back into the spotlight for the Roosters after recovering from an ACL sprain.
A finals appearance looked a forlorn hope for the Roosters just a fortnight ago after a loss to the Broncos saw them slump to 14th but consecutive wins over the Sea Eagles and Dolphins have lifted spirits and lifted them three places to 11th.
"It is what it is, you get what you deserve in footy and sometimes things don't go the way you want so just keep fighting now and hopefully we can sneak in there," said Roosters five-eighth Luke Keary, who celebrated his 200th NRL game in Round 24.
"It's not over and I feel like we are playing some good footy. I haven't really looked at the scenarios [on the ladder], hopefully we can just win and climb up there.
"I think we won eight or nine in a row to finish last year so we know we've got it in us, we just get the boys healthy and go one little step at a time and hopefully things fall into place."
The Roosters' proud record of playing finals in nine of the past 10 seasons serves as a great motivator for Trent Robinson's men as they prepare to confront the Eels, West Tigers and Rabbitohs in their last three games.
Losses to the Dolphins and Dragons earlier in the season may come back to bite them but this is a club accustomed to success and one that won't bow out without a fight.
So much to play for, so much to play out… so buckle up for a wild three-week ride as six teams slug it out for three finals spots.

Not bad at all Timelord!
In the NRL teh Wests Tigers had a good day out yesterday against the Warriors by my reconing,
they lost but didnt get trounced, 12-16 at half time and 22-30 in the end. On more than a handful
of times they have lost by 6 points or less and are able to score but yea not a great defense,
are they performing better than last season overall?
We know they wont be relegated but I would like to see them doing better next year.
The Rabbitohs did make it into the top 8 with this round, and the Knights are up to 7th.
3 rounds left!!

The NRLW Tigers got beaten by the Cowgirls which was my only incorrect pick of the six games played today.
The NRLW Raiders won by just one point in a low scoring game which would have been the game of the day to watch. The other games looked to be text book wins for the teams I'd predicted would win.

I actually didnt do any bets this round on the NRL.
I was kind of interested in the Broncos v Eels when I was eying up the draws for this weekend,
was wondering if the Broncos would fall to an Eels late season push, but most definitely NO!
Great win 54 - 10.
Regarding the ladder positions - Rabbitohs are cutting it fine to get into 8th, both themselves
and the Knights have easy draws so the positions should remain as they are now, Knights 8th
and Rabbitohs 9th. This is the interesting part coming to the end of the regular draw to see who
makes it into the finals.

With the season quickly coming to an end, the Manly Sea Eagles will be looking to claw their way into the top eight with a win against ladder leaders the Panthers starting in about four hours.
As expected, the Panthers won 24 - 12 keeping the Sea Eagles in the lower half of the ladder for another week.
As with the Dolphins, the Sea Eagles must win every last game this regular season. Otherwise, they'll both be out of the semifinals this year.
The NRLW games are three on Saturday followed by two on Sunday.
I'll post my bets here tomorrow along with the two men's games.
The Sharks should maul the Titans prior to the Broncos trampling the Eels. (The early game starts in two hours, the latter in four).
Tomorrow morning, the NRLW Raiders should out play the Dragonets. then at lunchtime, the Cowgirls should be mauled by the Tigreeses. Mid-afternoon the Broncos should make sushi of the Eels.
Later still in the men's games:
The Bunnies will be hoping to propel themselves into the top eight with a comfortable win against the Dragons. Then tomorrow late afternoon the Warriors should hunt down the Tigers. And finally, in the evening, The Roosters will be looking to keep the Dolphins languishing in the shallow waters.

Dolphins by two after scoring in the 74th minute then flubbed at full time.
Likewise, the Tigers at full time should have dived over the try line. Instead, the tried to pass and it was intercepted.
The Knight's win against the Dolohins and the Sharks mauling of the Rabbitohs we're my only two losses, so six from eight wasn't too bad.
The Rabbitohs, Eels and Cowboys are vieing for eighth place, but the top seven should remain unchanged from this point on.

Jeez, very close couple of games, Dolphins losing by 2 points and Dragons only by 6!
Rugby Union Internationals
Couple of unpredictable wins by my reckoning yesterday, I didnt get to see any of the games,
had visitors over so wasnt going to be sitting on front of the T.V
Anyway here are the 'shockers' IMO but realistically there is nothing at stake in these games
and teams will/should be playing different players than the 1st team lads.
Scotland beating France 25 - 21- big comeback by Scotland to beat the WC hosts
Wales beating England 20 - 9 - its more a surprise that England only managed to score
9 points and no try's

Yeh, I've given the Dolphins the benefit of the doubt all season, but it's time to face facts the Knights made sushi out of them in a very close finishing game then the Sharks mauled the Rabbitohs.
At least the All Black's kept the Australian's at bay in Dunedin to take the lead two nil.
The other men's league games turned out as expected.

The Cowboys v Broncos are playing currently and surprise surprise its the Broncos winning!
3 other games to follow:
Dolphins v knights - I cant see the Dolphins winning, I think their good form from earlier in the
year is gone, the Knights will be too strong for them so I'm backing the Knights.
Its the Rabbitohs v Sharks following its 6th place v 7th and the Rabbitohs are favourites, I'm staying
away from this one, too close for my liking.
After those its Eels v Dragons - no value there on the winners.

The Auckland Warriors and the Penrith Panthers comfortably won their games (after trailing early, the Panthers poured three tries on before half time then kept Melbourne at bay).
Interestingly Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, Melbourne and Canberra make up the top five on the ladder. Some years it'll be e.g. two Sydney teams in the top four or five spots.

The favourites yesterday were the Roosters but the Sea Eagles had a better season compared,
so a detailed analysis of team sheets, injuries and what not had the bookies on the stronger team.
Mens NRL is 27 rounds
Womens NRL is 9 rounds
Rugby Union - I not sure about the up coming internationals, I mean is there merit
in the teams playing each other who would regularly compete with each other? would it not
be better for Ireland to play Japan or Argentina to play Italy for example. Maybe these games
are a chance to try new plays, new players etc.?

I've seen *some* NRLW games and the women slam into each other no differently to the men who would probably be a little more cautious about body contact if playing against their female counterparts.
Having said that, I think the women aren't trying to drag out game play by turning back and trying to get through another way. Same with the women's passing of the ball. The modern NRL/W scrum is a poor shadow of it's former self with the women echoing the men.
The Roosters thumped the Sea Eagles 26 - 16 in a one sided game tonight. (usual send off etc) Both teams are trying to claw back into the top eight before it is too late. A win for the Sea Eagles would have seen them jump up to umm, sixth temporarily with their one point tied score early in the season.
Round 3 of the 2023 NRLW got off to a flying start with the Roosters plucking the Dragons 30 - 0.
Tomorrow night, the Cowgirls should thump the Broncets before the Titans beat the Sharks. Then, on Sunday, bottom of the ladder Eels will be skinned and broiled by the 4th placed Knights. Then the in form Tigresses should fend off the Raiders.
On the other channel, the Rugby Internationals play again this weekend with game two of the Bledisloe Cup occurring in under 22 hours. New Zealand are again expected to thump the Aussies.
England and Wales go head to head. Scotland should beat France who have pulled out of hosting the 2024 International (there's a whisper Aus/NZ might host it similar to the Fifa Women's underway at the moment).
Samoa and Japan should beat Tonga and Fiji. Ireland should comfortably beat Italy and the last game of the weekend sees upcoming Argentina take on South Africa.
Last year there were 25 week's of the Men's NRL competition and just 5 weeks in the Women's. With one new team in the Mens and four new teams in the Women's comp, I expect there will be an additional week or two added on. (I must hunt that info down)

yea, I dont know what I was thinking last week by thinking week 22 was the last week,
I was checking it on the NRL website and couldnt forward to wk 23 so I thought 22 was
the last . . . silly, I know
Anyway, tonight/tomorrow - I agree that the Sea Eagles should do a job on the Roosters
but the Roosters are actualy favourite??? on ROLLBIT they are 1.56 against 2.60 for
the Sea Eagles, thats a great price for who we think is going to win
Just kidding... The Women's West's Tigers are top of the NELW ladder after two weeks while the Men are bottom of the ladder.
Now a Canberra Mens Vs Tiger's Women's match might be interesting...
Imagine the women beat the men?
As an aside >>>
When myself and my Duth friend were watching the womens World Cup game between Ireland
and Canada and in the 4th minute Katie McCabe of Ireland scored a goal froma corner kick,
he said " that would never happen in the mens game, the keeper would have saved it, the women
goalkeepers are shorter and the posts are the same size!"
So is the womens NRL game a little skewed? IDK or maybe some governing bodies place more emphasis
on te womens game than others?

I think the NRL has another three weeks then top eight for a couple of rounds then semis top four then the grand final. I'll be home tomorrow and check for certain.
In any event, tomorrow evening , the Sea Eagles should tar and feather the Roosters. Friday, the Warriors and Panthers should knock over the Titans and Storm (the later should be worth watching) Saturday, the Broncos and Rabbitohs (and I'm going down with the Dolphins sinking aspirations) then Sunday, the Eels over the Dragons before the Canberra Raiders under tens take on the West's Tigers with a fifty point head start.
