I wasn't paying attention when I put a small wager on England to win last weekend. They did and it was a Rugby League game too! (Plus it was by 30+ points!)
All for $1.90 odds. I don't usually bet on spreads - they're very unpredictable like parlays - one loss and the whole lot goes up in smoke.
Hopefully Sunday I'll be able to play catch up with the various games that are on? 🤔

European Champions Cup Rugby (Heineken Cup)
Second semi final went with the game favourites La Rochelle, they beat Exeter
Chiefs 47-28 to set up a replay of 2022 final with Leinster.
That final went the way of the French side, 21-24. That final was played in France, this
the final will take place in Ireland, this year should be Leinsters. I have them to win
this title.

The West's Tigers won 12 - 8 AND I MISSED IT!
OMG - what a messed up season this has proven to be this year! My two bets are
totally lost, Titans beating the Sea Eagles and Wests Tigers beating the Panthers.
Looking at the ladder and looking at the season so far its really open, no one team are
absolutely definitively booking their place in the finals, different to last year really.
Union Heineken Cup
First semi final took place today and as I suspected and hoped and backed Leinster
overcame Toulouse 44-21. There was talk before the game that it could have been closer
due to some key players for Leinster out with injury. This result shows the depth of talent in
the squad.

I see where you were going with a bet on the Knights v the Eels but unfortunately the Eels
showed up and hammered the knights. I stayed away from that one and was actually thinking
of betting against the Rabbitohs, luckily I refrained, the Rabbitohs did a big job on the Broncos.
I'm going with the Sea Eagles against the Titans at 1.52 and a -18.5 handicap on the Panthers,
I know, I know - I did say before I wouldnt to it again but its the only way to get a bit of value out
of the Panthers, odds are 2.12

Sharks last night, the Knights and Rabbitohs tonight.
I seem to have missed placing a wager on the Sharks (probably because of the school holiday Thursday night game), but they would have been the team I would have picked.
In about six hours I'll get all my best down for the week.

Union European Champions Cup Rugby
This weekend we have the Semi-Finals of the Heineken Champions Cup. Its possible
there could be an all French final although I think the chances are slim.
I am picking the two home sides Leinster and La Rochelle and I will probably put a
bet on Leinster for the title before the game at the weekend.
League NRL
First game of R9, Sharks devour the Cowboys 44-6, I dont get it, there was literally
no contest, Cowboys scored 1 converted try on the 34th minute. I missed it altogether
and I wonder what the odds were on the Sharks??

Ah I was wondering why there were 2 very late games this round.
I know of ANZAC day but would know the exact details of it. I do know the brutality and
seemingly senseless and massive loss of life in the great war overall, wouldnt you think
it would have served as an example how not to resolve differences?
As an aside I used to watch "The Sullivans" growing up. (set around WWII)
For tuesdays games I'm thinking Roosters and Storm but I'm not sure I'll make those
bets...bith are favourites but have had mixed results so far.

That makes me five from six games so far this week. Tomorrow there are two games in remembrance of the countless soldiers who died in the Great War.
The 25th of April is referred to as ANZAC Day when Australian and New Zealand armed forces landed on Turkish beaches. In Australia, (and to a lesser degree New Zealand), it is seen as an abject failure (to take the Peninsula) however, I disagree. While the taking of the Peninsula was the ultimate goal, the main objective was to hinder and keep the Turkish forces bogged down so they couldn't be deployed elsewhere. For that I believe it was a successful campaign, just the families at home have turned it into something more than it was.
Attiturk is famous for protecting the dead who are now buried in war cemetaries. Something that to my knowledge hadn't been done in previous wars.

Cowboys v Knights - that looks to have been an epic battle of sorts with the Cowboys coming
out on top 18-16 and scoring the last points of the game in the 66th minute - with the remaining
14 attack/defend by both!
Union URC
Re: Vodacom Bulls v Leinster - The bookies had their odds correct, the Bulls were indeed worth
their favourite status winning by a whopping 62 - 7.
Cant understand who that Leinster team can beat the Lions last week and not show up yesterday.

The Sharks mauled the Bulldogs 33 - 20 while after twenty minutes the second game is tied at 6 - 6 . A long way to go for tonight's game with the Cowboys taking first blood in Townsville.
April 22, 2023, 03:04:36 AM
I have a $ on the Knights @ 2.37, Can the Cowboys pick up their season or are they in
real trouble... we will see shortly!
Currently it is looking like the Sharks are likely winners, its only 22" gone and its 8-16.
Union - URC
Just looking at the odds for todays games in the final round of the URC and Leinster
are a massive 5.0 away to 7th placed Vodacom Bulls in South Africa. They have been
there last week and beat the Lions by 3 points. Its a kind of second tier Leinster team
which is there, meaning there are no experienced current internationals in the squad,
Its a great opportunity for a $ bet on the team which is unbeaten in both the URC and
Heineken Cup this season...
I've also gone another $ on a +11.5 handicap on them @2.11

Yes, the Broncos stared down the Eels. I wasn't able to watch it, however, the NRL.com website is saying the Eels gave the Broncos a scare which is what I also thought given they (Eels) went all the way to the Grand final last year.
Next up, the Sharks and Knights will teach the Bulldogs and Cowboys how to score tries.

Thats an amazing win by the Rabbitohs over the Panthers, In all Rugby codes place kicking
is unbelievably important, I've said it before that I have seen it before where games have
been won solely by the penalty points kicked by the Fly-Half No.10 Rugby Union
And an even bigger win IMO by the Broncos over the Eels and as the away team. The Broncos
have proven to be a serious outfit. Great win over the Eels 16-26
Two good picks Timelord!

What a game last night! The Pink Panthers nearly scored a runaway try 90 seconds from Kick-Off then flubbed again after five minutes. I saw the firs ten minutes then the last thiry minutes of the game. In the last ten minutes the tension was electrifying. The Panthers scored with six minutes to go, then the Rabbitohs scored twice to be 20 - 18 the last set kick-off occured at 79:57 (i.e. three seconds of game play and it almost looked as though the Panthers would score yet another try, but missed metres from the try line with the ball rolling out.
The Rabbitohs converter kicker needs to work on the static field goal kicks missing three chances.
All in all the Rabbitohs are on the rise this year.
Tonight should be a more sedate game unless the Eels can find their end of last year form that got them to the Grandfinal:

Round 18 - the final round before the finals, I think the final 8 has been decided. Position 8 and 9
are the crunch positions, Cell C Sharks in 8 are 5 points ahead of Benetton in 9th.
Benetton play the Stormers so they are not winning that and the Sharks at home play Munster,
that will be a close game.
...and for the overall winner, its hard to see any other team than Leinster winning.

I'm going with the Rabbiohs and the Broncos, but can't help but wonder if the Eels are doing the same thing as last year where they lost at first then were able to build their way up to make the Grandfinal? There may yet be an upset for the Broncos if the Eels beat them.

Two very interesting games in Round 8 of the NRL starting tomorrow, Rabbitos v Panthers.
I fancy the Panthers but I also really dont know what to think of them, they have two big
wins in two weeks and last week just scrape through with a marginal win and the Rabbitohs
havent started great either.
First game on Friday sees what could be described as top tier tear teambefore this season
the Eels take on surprising ladder toppers the Broncos, this will be a great test for the broncos
to test again where they are.

6 wins from 7 outings for the Broncos is impressive, never would have guessed they would
be in top spot at this stage, although there have been a lot of unexpected results thus far!
What the hell was that result by the Panthers on Saturday to only win from the Knights by
1 point....strange after the previous 2 weeks winning with big margins.
No upsets in the weekends games really, Leinster as expected won away but only
by 3 points, Munster also won away and all other games had home wins!
Last round coming up this weekend . . .

At half time, the Panthers are trailing the Knights 14 - 6
I'll only be down a dollar if they don't recover. Hope you're not too out of pocket. 🤔
At half time a few hours later, the Titans are ahead against the Broncos 14 - 10.
In what must have been a thrilling climax, the Panthers won 16 - 15 against the Knights who scored just one additional point in 40 minutes of play.
... and I'm watching the Warritahs pound the western force 29 - 6 after nearly 55 minutes of game play.
... and the Broncos won emphatically to remain top of the ladder with six wins from seven outings. This screen grab shows easily they scored tries in quick secession.
Final scores 43 - 26
