There's a full round of games being played this weekend - a few of the players are out with injuries, but it doesn't seem like there are concentrated in one team, so it shouldn't affect game play too much.

The West Tigers look to be clawing their way out of the black hole they were in trailing at first they lost by just one point at full time.
I'm seriously considering betting on them depending on who they come up against in the next few weeks.
Ooooh thats a big move, yes I like that they are and seem to have improved their results,
personally I might wait a bit before having so much confidence though.
I'm not one who would want to see the same teams year after year winning and populating
the top of the ladder so I like the mixup which is happening, its not great, actually its
$hite for my wagers this season!
Seeing the Broncos back on top is great actually.

Yes, they've returned to the top of the ladder but the top right positions are very hotly contested at the moment with only a win or two seperating their ladder scores. The dolphins got pounded as did the Titans in yesterday's two earlier games.

BOOM - Broncos beat the Sharks!
Thats a brilliant result from Brisbane'rs, this kinda makes them into being the real deal,
if they continue their level of performance they will definitely reach the finals.
Tomorrows games sees
Roosters play the Bulldogs . Roosters are 10th, they need to start making moves into the
top of the ladder.
Cowboys play Storm, based on the last 13 rounds and the fact that the Cowboys have
"strayed off the trail" from last year it has to be Storms game!

The Cronulla Sharks can't be discounted that's certainly true and given what you just said may actually come to pass. There aren't as many teams experiencing BYES this week so the ladder will be worth having a look at on Monday.
Shame about the Tigers, I would have liked to see them win. They're starting to run out of weeks to earn enough points to make it into the final four.

Ouch, Wests Tigers beaten by 1 point!
With 1 second to go and a missed field goal attempt it was extremely close, thats a pity
for them really after beating the Panthers to come close to taking a second win.
Big Big game tomorrow 2 plays 3 - Sharks v Broncos, the Broncos are underdogs @ 2.7,
can they pull off a win away to the Sharks?
Of the top teams from last year they have lost to the Panthers, Raiders, Rabbitohs, Storm.
They have beaten the Eels and Cowboys but we cant count them because they have
lost to almost everyone at this stage.
Going by this season I would back the Sharks but I would like to back the Broncos!

I'm going with the Canberra Raiders over the West's Tigers in tonight's opening game of round thirteen of the NRL regular season.
The Tigers have proved they can beat last year's Grand final winner the Penrith Panthers which is reflected in the betting sites offering <$2.75 for a Tigers win.
In the first game of the Women's State of Origin overnight, Queensland won 18 - 10 in the first of just two games in their series!
Both Men's and Women's game two will be in three weeks time.

For the about fourty years of the State Versus State format 75% of the time whoever wins the first game usually wins the series.
And the underdogs win! Bit of a remarkable win really, by the reports I read Queensland
were out played by NSW and they were down to 12 men at one stage. Can they slot into
that 75% statistic of winning? they have 2 chances.
ARGENTINA UPDATE
Argentina plays the Wallabies on the 15th of July! Write the date in your diary and be prepared for a spot quiz afterwards.
Thats round 2 of the Rugby Championship. This is a very important tournament this year,
its World Cup year and New Zealand, Argentina, Australia and South Africa have a slight
advantage because they will have developed match and competitive fitness 2 months
ahead of the RWC.

In about ninety minutes game one of the NRL State of Origin kicks off in Adelaide which has been seen as an odd choice given the lack of local teams in the state of South Australia.
Nevertheless, Queensland is seen as the underdog with odds of about $2.50 verses New South Wales at about $1.60
For the about fourty years of the State Versus State format 75% of the time whoever wins the first game usually wins the series.
Queensland have some new members in their squad so like every other year we won't know until the final whistle sounds who will win. It real is unlike anything else.

Union - URC
And Munster in a typical fashion come out on top in a close game and won 14 - 19 with
a converted try a couple of minutes from full time.
That is a typical Munster win IMO, if you give them the slightest hint of disrespect they
will punish you, or if they are written off before an important game they can prove
you wrong.
Overall its been a great season for Munster, they came from a very shaky start to the URC
and end up unlikely champions . . . and one of their former talisman's coaches La Rochelle to
champions of the Heineken Champions Cup - Ranan O'Gara!

I do not see a thread discussing the United Rugby Championship and the final being played between the Stormers and Munster tomorrow, so I just want to know who do you think is going to win that match?
It is being played in South Africa, giving home field advantage to the Stormers, but Munster has won the Stormers at their home field before, so I do not know if it actually gives them a large advantage.
This is going to be a hard match and too close to call...

There is only one Rugby thread K. All competitions are discussed here. I have been
covering the URC.
United Rugby Championship
The two semi finals have come and gone with one predictable win and one shock win!
As most expected the DHL Stormers won their semi against the visiting Connacht 43-25.
I have given Connacht a half chance of winning but my $1 bet didnt materialise.
Second semi final on Saturday brought the upset, home side Leinster were looking to setup
a second final and win the double with the Heineken Champions Cup but the visiting Munster
were able to stay with them and win with a 77th minute drop goal. Leinster had prioritised the
Heineken Cup by resting some key players for the coming final on Saturday.

Munster are on a bit of a roll ATM and are surprising finalists after beating Leinster
in the semi's, who everyone tipped to win outright this alao means my bet is dead!
Stormers are worthy finalists though and are playing at home, but week 17 of 18
Munster beat the Stormers 24 - 26 on their own turf!
TBH I'll probably back Munster being the Irish side, but its really hard to call.

7's series has finished Timelord! it kind of passed us by without many bets placed.
NRL
Yea good win by the Dolphins, that keeps their top half positioning alive, they have
slipped a bit in the last few rounds and I thought they might end up in the bottom
half, we will have to wait and see.
Such a weird line up tomorrow's game, Eels v Cowboys, two powerhouses from last
year battling it out to stay away from the wooden spoon spot. I wont be betting on that one.
Saturday sees the Warriors take on the Broncos, that could be a good one, I dont know
who could win or who I would like to see win, Broncos maybe?

And he comes the guy who pass in this thread when Argentina makes good things on Rugby 
Another mega performance in seven rugby.
Winning against Fiji
What a run for Moneta, he is a lighting.

Well done Argentina! You'll have to let us know *before* the game that they are playing so we can all put some money on them to win!
In tonight's game, the Dolphins led 24 - 12 before the sixtyth minute, then in the last ten minutes added another two points to clench the win 26 - 12.
May 25, 2023, 01:25:58 AM
Well done to Argentina! great result to end up in second place overall. I havent been following
the series at all apart from dipping in when darxiaomi comes here to mention it.
Finishing in second place by only 21 points behind New Zealand is a fantastic result.
Ireland finished kind of mid table. There hasnt been any news throughout the series
about our team on the sport sections of the radio I listen to which is dissapointing,
its not a big sport here with all the focus on the Rugby 15's.

Next week is game one of the State of Origin Series so a few of the teams are having BYES this week or next week.
It does create a little bit of a ripple mid season, but I think it's fairly clear which half of the ladder most teams are in.
I've got a couple of bets on the Union games this weekend:
Stormers - Munster 28 May 2023 02:30 Money Line Stormers @ 1.48 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.148 mBTC
Saracens - Sale Sharks 28 May 2023 00:00 Money Line Saracens @ 1.51 Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.151 mBTC
Over in the NRL, tonight's game is the Dolphins over the Storm, tomorrow night Eels over the Cowboys (who might have another upset win). Saturday the Warriors might just give the Broncos their second drubbing in a row and on Sunday, I think I went with the Knights over the Sea Eagles.

For the Eels and Cowboys and partly in the case of the Roosters I think its going to be
really difficult if not impossible for them to get into the top half of the ladder and into the
finals. This coming round the Eels are playing the Cowboys and in the rounds after
this one they go on to play the top teams.
At the top of the ladder its very close between the top 5 sides all with 7 or 8 wins so far.
In the next few rounds they should be winning all their games. In round 14 the Broncos play
the sharks, 4th v 3rd!

Yeh, I've tanked this round with more upsets and unpredictable game plays. The top teams have for the most part cemented their positions at the top or bottom of the ladder. They've just got to keep playing for the rest of the year.
(The Tigers and Saint George are still attracting 1000:1 on the TAB.com.au website to win the minor premiereship).

66-18 for the Wests Tigers is just ridiculous, where have the Cowboys gone this season?
They did so well last year, almost made it to the Grand Final! How can a team turn around
so dramatically?
Todays games results in the two favourites winning, Storm and Sea Eagles. We are
starting to see the top half of the ladder being populated by last years top teams, Panthers,
Rabbitohs, Sharks and the 2 above.
