I wonder if say three players were involved in a high tackle and the two from one team who caused their opponent to be eating grass get an orange card and then the video ref about eight minutes later determines one of the two was directly the cause (i.e. they reached out and grabbed the player) while the other player was simply charging and was putting their shoulder out for the collision.   The charger comes back on and the thrower gets the red card ??

It could be useful.




In about eleven hours the Dolphins will hopefully stare down the Rabbitohs to climb back up the ladder with five from seven matches. The Rabbitohs have had three good wins, so it's possible they will also be playing hard.

I'm putting a dollar on the Dolphins and tomorrow night I'm leaning towards a Roosters win over the Sharks Inspite the Sharks having good midladder stats. Both should be great games before the Storm plucks the Sea Eagles who never seem to recover after an initial loss the week prior.

News out today is that World Rugby is considering introducing an "Orange Card"

https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/rugby/arid-41114734.html



Information is a bit sketchy or minimal, my understanding that the idea is that a player
issued with an Orange card leaves the field for an initial 10 minutes while the TMO reviews
the fowl play and has the option to bump the Orange to Red or not!

So does that mean there would be 3 cards...
Yellow - 10 minute sin bin
Orange - 10 minute sin bin while under review
Red - immediate dismissal

?



NRL

Bit of a dilemma for the first game in R7 tomorrow...
While the Rabbitohs are favourites they have had a sketchy start to the season,
can the Dolphins who are 4.2 for a win tomorrow beat the Rabbitohs?

^ That game has just started now.
I would be seriously worried for the Eels if they cannot beat the Tigers. I'm going to
try an in play bet to see if there are better odds on the Eels...



The semi-finals are set for the European Rugby Champions Cup this coming
weekend. 3 of my 4 picks came through the semi's, onlt the DHL Stormers were beaten
by the Exeter Chiefs very convincingly 42-17!

I'll be going with the two home sides again....which would be a replay of last years final!!

Two days ago I was able to see a replay of the Canterbury Union match, then the live Highlanders game in Dunedin.  Then, the Broncos annihilation by the Raiders with a really serious head wound injury with less than our minutes remaining.  I don't believe the Broncos would have clawed their way back - in the end the Raiders score showed they have some fighting spirt keeping the opponent near scoreless.  It's been quite a while since I've managed to see that much live action back-to-back.

In yesterday's games the Titans managed to win over the Dragons while the Knights won convincingly against the Warriors.

This afternoon's Monday game sees the Tigers stare down the Eels and like last year around this round, I'm wondering if the Tigers can claw their way off of the bottom rung of the ladder.

I think we can safely say the Panthers are well and truely back and its only a matter of
time before they take top spot.

Panthers 44 - 12 Sea Eagles

They clocked up 32 points in the first half and the Sea Eagles only scoring in the second half.

The Broncos may be starting to creak at the seams after losing to the Raiders, a
game they really should have won.

Panthers, Storm and Rabbitohs starting to float to the top of the ladder with wins!

Later on I caught the second half of the Dolphins teaching the Cowboys how to play league winning in the last two minutes with an unconverted try 32 - 22.




In a couple of hours The Sea Eagles and Panthers face off. They are fairly evenly matched with the Panthers playing catch up it should be a good game. My monies on the Sea Eagles, however, the Panthers could claw they way in front with a win.

Later on tonight the Broncos should fend off the Raiders.

Damn, I was following the score line on the match centre on NRL.com yesterday.
I thought the Cowboys would do it with about 10 minutes to go. The score at half
time was 12 - 26 to the Dolphins and up to the 75th minute in the second half
the Dolphins hadnt scored. The Dolphins are definitely worthy of being in the premiership
so far!

They had to have been good odds if the Cowboys were heavy favourites! same with
the next game, Panthers v Sea Eagles - Sea Eagles are 3.85, great odds for potential
winners.

Leinster blasted Leicester back to England with a 55 - 24 win at home in the first of the

I'm watching the Bulldogs Vs Rabbitohs game in an airport bar - (I've got a funeral to go to - I'm surprised more people aren't travelling today)

Score is 8 - 6 to the Bunnies.

Edit, make that 20 - 6 to the bunnies.

Final scores 50 - 16 to the Rabbitohs.




Later on I caught the second half of the Dolphins teaching the Cowboys how to play league winning in the last two minutes with an unconverted try 32 - 22.




Much later on now and I'm watching a replay of last night's Crusader's Vs Moana Super Rugby Pacifica game.score at the start of the second half is 17 - 21.

In a couple of hours The Sea Eagles and Panthers face off. They are fairly evenly matched with the Panthers playing catch up it should be a good game. My monies on the Sea Eagles, however, the Panthers could claw they way in front with a win.

R6 of the NRL has kicked off yesterday with a win for Storm over the Roosters which
lifts them into 2nd spot on the ladder behind the Broncos.

Second game today in the 1st half is the Bulldogs leading the Rabbitohs, but the Rabbitohs
in theory should win.

Next up are the Cowboys v the Dolphins, I have the Cowboys backed to win this as well
as the Panthers tomorrow to beat the Sea Eagles, neither odds are great though, 1.23 and 1.32 .

Rugby Union - European Rugby Champions Cup

Who am I betting on:

DHL Stormers at home to beat Harlequins
Leinster at home to beat home rivals Ulster
Rochelle to beat Gloucester
Toulouse at home to beat the Vodacom Bulls



Just catching up with the games from last weekend, akl 4 above won with really low odds.
Quarter finals coming up this weekend - this is the business end of the Champions
Cup season.

I am half thinking of going with the 4 teams above again, have to check the odds....



In the Womens Six Nations Ireland were hammered again by France last weekend
and our Celtic cousins clocked up another win against Scotland 22 - 34.

well if I was betting on those last two games I certainly would have gone with both of
the losing teams.

In my couple of years following the NRL this is indeed a strange start. All the dominant
teams over the last 2 seasons anyway are yet to take their spots on the ladder, based on
last season its really only the Roosters who are positioned where I perceive them to be,
but the Sharks, Rabbitohs, Cowboys and Eels are floundering mid to bottom table,
it will be interesting to see how the next 5 rounds turn out and can the Broncos at least stay
on top or close to it?

46 - 12 to the Broncos in the end, ok its only the Wests Tigers but still the Broncos are
sitting pretty on top spot and are currently unbeaten in 5 rounds.

In the other 2 games - what happened to the Sharks after half time when they were leading
26 - 12? The Warriors came back into the game to win, only difference between them was
a missed conversion...

and the Cowboys... losing by a field goal in the 84th minute, that was a close game.

I wasn't able to place bets on the last two games but would have definitely bet on Auckland and am split on which to bet on (as evidenced by the golden point game clench-er).

This is a very different ladder to this time last year:



Brisbane, Auckland, Sydney City and (Sydney) Manly-Warringah comprise the top four this round with the (Sydney) Penrith Panthers tieing for fourth (fifth) while Redcliffe (MBRC - to the north of Brisbane) and (Sydney) Canterbury tieing for seventh.



As with the Sea Eagles and Panthers, St George, The Knights, Sharks, Rabbitohs, Titans and Cowboys have all won two games a piece, however, their stats have them pushed far down the ladder tieing or ninth place.



As with last year, the class dunces The Eels, Raiders and Tigers should be relegated back to the New South Wales State competition.

After 90 minutes of game play the scores were locked at 32 - 32 between the Manly Sea Eagles and the Newcastle Knights. 



Hence they scored one point each on the ladder.  Newcastle now moves to eighth on the ladder on five points (could decide the place late in the season)



That was a thrilling game of Rugby League!

(In a few minutes, the Broncos take on the Tigers)




First blood to the Dolphins! Unfortunately, the Dolphins then floundered to loose 12 - 38 while the Broncos pounded the Tigers 40 - 12.

OTOH I was able to see the entire Brumbies Vs Warratahs game which Canberra won 40 - 36 in a gutsy comeback.

BOOM ------ the Panthers have arrived!
Massive win over the Raiders today, I was following the score before I went into work hoping
for more favourable odds on the Panthers but they hit the front straight away. I predict that they
wont be beaten again before the finals! (maybe the Eels will beat them again)

I saw the second half tonight at the Star Casino on the Gold Coast in the Sports Bar. One table had Eels supporters while the rest of us were cheering on the Roosters. The Eels aren't doing themselves any favours with constant meaningless long passes jumping two or three players. They can pass the ball, but there's no follow through with a sprint to the try line or even making a few metres. Opportunities to sneak through gaps were also missed by the Eels.

Their two late tries were more flukes than skilled game play.




This evening the Canterbury Crusaders take on the Qld Reds (who have performed very poorly this season)

I'm on the road until the weekend, so I'll probably just be making my selections from day to day.

Sydney Roosters - Parramatta Eels 30 Mar 2023 19:00 Money Line Sydney Roosters @ 1.51 Taken Amount: 0.05 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.076 mBTC

The Roosters are doing well while the Eels are echoing their early start to last year with patchy form.

The Raiders have played four games while the Panthers three yet both have won just one game. I can't help but wonder if the Panthers slum will continue for another round , so I'm going to bet on the Raiders.

Canberra Raiders - Penrith Panthers 31 Mar 2023 17:00 Money Line Canberra Raiders @ 3.94 Taken Amount: 0.05 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.197 mBTC

Both the Rabbitohs and Storm are fairly evenly matched on paper, but watching them play live the Rabbitohs have play stronger, so I'm going with the favoured team in their encounter.

South Sydney Rabbitohs - Melbourne Storm 31 Mar 2023 19:00 Money Line South Sydney Rabbitohs @ 1.54 Taken Amount: 0.05 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.077 mBTC

Well being favourites the Roosters beat the Eels by 28 - 20, happy enough with that
result.

Warriors v Panthers - IDK I think the Panthers will be hurting after last weeks late
defeat and will be itching to get some wins, I think I'll go with the Panthers.



Also the Womens Six Nations competition started last week.

Welsh would have been happy with last weeks result ... Wales 31 - 5 Ireland (Half time 28-0)

Rugby Union - European Rugby Champions Cup

This weekend we will have the Round of 16 before next weekends Quarter Finals.

I'm keeping an eye on Leinster and fancy them for at least the final if not the title but
this week it was revealed that the Leinster and Irelands Talisman - Johnny Sexton
will likely miss the rest of the season due to a groin injury.

Only 3 teams unbeaten in the competition so far, Leinster, Rochelle and Toulouse.

Who am I betting on:

DHL Stormers at home to beat Harlequins
Leinster at home to beat home rivals Ulster
Rochelle to beat Gloucester
Toulouse at home to beat the Vodacom Bulls

Todays game - Roosters v Eels - I'm picking the favourites the Roosters @ 1.5.
Head to head the Roosters are out on front and I have read that the Eels are
still missing a few key players (eventhough they beat the Panthers last week...)

Three wins from five so far with the remaining three games to be played this afternoon.  The Rabbiohs won in golden point in another low scoring game which tells me both teams are fairly equally placed at the moment.  The Rabbitohs game play last week got stronger as the game went on and they capitalised on that this week.

I'm still fairly confident the remaining three teams will do well today.

Only 1 from the remaining 3 Timelord ! I didnt do any bets on todays games, I was really
happy with the wins by the Rabbitohs and Cowboys yesterday. The Sea Eagles are
actually not bad, the golden point was a killer for them, it could have been the other way too.



In the URC I only did 2 bets this weekend, the second was Ulster to win at home against
the Vodacom Bulls South Africa which they did 32 - 23. I managed to pick up odds
of 1.55 which are not bad.
