Yes I heard the game on the radio - the Knights started the first nearly twenty minutes strongly in front of a home crowd in Newcastle and led for much of the first fifty minutes of game play.  Then, with about fifteen minutes left to play, the Broncos were awarded two tries in quick succession which the video replay suggested were not actual tries.  Instead of rallying, the Newcastle Knights fell apart and gave away twenty plus points in the last dozen minutes.

The Broncos are now in fourth place on the ladder part way through round eleven.  

Meanwhile, over at Bulldogs HQ an interim coach has been appointed after the regular coach was forced to fall on his sword.  I don't think it'll be enough to rally against the Tigers whose fire razed HQ was the topic of debate in the NSW media this week.

In tonight's only other game, the Eels on paper should walk over the Sea Eagles.  However, the Eels week-to-week game plays have been patchy. Nevertheless, I expect the Sea Eagles won't take flight with their captain probably wondering if he's going to loose out a place in the impending State of Origin series.

I havent seen that tournament listed.

10 years is quite a long time to try and develop the professional game, why are players
still amateur? is there not enough finance in the game?

The most famous Argentinian player in my country is Felipe Contepomi who played #10
for Leinster and scored 1225 points over 6 years. He is still currently with Leinster as a coach.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felipe_Contepomi

Sorry for replying so late.

Look what happens is that here the sport that monopolizes everything at a popular level is soccer as it is public knowledge.
The rest of the sports are played a lot but as secondary sports.
In the case of rugby, here in Argentina only middle or upper class people play it.

This leads to few people watching or following it in such a way that it is profitable on television (although the main tournament is broadcast by ESPN) and sponsors certain big brands.

Yes obviously I know him, if I remember correctly he is the top scorer of the team (national team) or now they passed him and this second I don't remember well.

In these years the emigration of many young players to Europe for wages is even greater. Even those who are bad travel on their own, for example, to a country that is starting to want to get into the world of rugby like Spain and play there for money.

@darxiaomi - news this week is that Felipe Contepomi is leaving Leinster in Ireland and
assisting Michael Cheika coaching The Pumas.

https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/leinster-confirm-departure-of-assistant-coach-felipe-contepomi-1.4879590

Hopefully they can work some magic in next years Rugby World Cup. Just reading
on Wikipedia that their best result in the RWC was 3rd place back in 2007 followed
by a 4th spot in 2015, not bad performances.

So a little update to this thread.

From my round 10 bets in the NRL I have 1 win and 1 loss.

Rugby League - Australia


Rollbit

Wests Tigers v North Queensland Cowboys - MLvNorth Queensland Cowboys @1.31 - Taken Amount $2 - Potential Win $2.62

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v Canberra Raiders - ML Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks @1.24 - Taken Amount $2 - Potential Win $2.42



Next round (11) has a good few closely matched games and some which ask a few
questions of teams with mixed performances so far like:

Can the Eels6 win over the Sea Eagles9?

...and the same for the Rabbitohs8 beat the Raiders10?



Rugby Union

In the second semi final of the European Champions Cup last weekend La Rochelle
were able to come from 10 points down to beat Racing92 13-20.

I heard today La Rochelle are missing a key player, their #1 scrum half Kerr-Barlow, I
will be backing Leinster for the final anyway which is set for the 28th of May.

Leinster are currently big favourites, Rollbit have them at 1.18 against La Rochelle @ 5.0.

Interestingly as a side note, the head coach of La Rochelle is former Munster and Ireland
#10 Ronan O'Gara. He is currently Ireland's highest points scorer!

Well after that display yesterday against Storm I would agree. Storm are so far the
most consistent team other then the Panthers if it continues it will at least be
a "two horse race"

I know the Eels were one if the top teams last year but they have had a shaky start
to this season and I still cant believe the Panthers couldnt beat them last week.

The first of mt 2 bets in the NRL has not gone my way, Sharks losing at home to what
were to 12th placed team, the Raiders.

The Rabbitohs have been playing very hot then cold over the weeks while the Warriors at sixty minutes poured Ithe power but it wasn't enough to catch up the deficit from the first half.

When the Panthers scored and converted twice in the first seven minutes, I knew I'd lost my money.

If this repeats through the rest of the season, then they will win the premiership.

Two good picks so far Timelord! I'm somewhat impressed so far by the Broncos this season,
I wish the same could be said for the Rabbitohs and Eels. Still its early in the season but at
the halfway point I would like to see them securing their spots in the top 6.

Ooh thats a fearless bet on the Storm v Panthers game, this could go either way, I'm not
chancing it.

And the game between the Panthers and Storm wasnt even close, it finished up a
massive 32-6. It turned out that Storm were missing a few key players which hit them.
I really thought it was going to be closer .

The Rabbitohs win today against the Warriors but not convincingly, they let a massive
deficit slide by letting the Warriors finish within 2 points, score at half time 26-6, full time
score 32-30, not convincing, I'll be possibly holding my bets on them for a while.

So far, my wagers have been on what nitrogenSports.eu punters are seeing as the underdog...

Until now. I'm picking the Sharks over the Auckland Warriors.

On paper, the Eels look to be the better team, but they've had a little slump which I'm thinking will give the Rooster's the edge this week.

Lastly, it's probably wishful thinking, but I'm going to say the West's Tigers will cause an upset over the NQ Cowboys.

mismatches:

This coming weekend is Round 10 of the NRL. Nearly all the draws are between evenly
placed teams or teams in similar ladder positions which makes it very difficult to bet on.

Bulldogs15 v Knights16
Sea Eagles7 v Broncos8
Warriors10 v Rabbitohs9
Titans14 v Dragons11
Storm1 v Panthers2
Sharks4 v Raiders12
Roosters6 v Eels5
Wests Tigers13 v Cowboys3

Its clear that the easiest ones to lick are the Sharks and the Cowboys.

Semi-Final weekend coming up in the European Champions Cup this weekend.
One Irish and 3 French sides battle it out for a spot in the Final on the 28th of this month.

Leinster have a home draw in their semi to visiting Toulouse. Leinster clear favourites
should win that.

The second draw is harder to pick a winner, Racing92 v La Rochelle. Racing92 are slights favourites
1.78 v 1.98.

Amazing game between Munster and Toulouse yesterday. It was a pretty much full house
at The Aviva in Dublin. I had Munster the underdogs to win but at full time it was level 24-24,
which is not a very common result a draw.

The resulting extra time didnt seperate the teams then it went to "penalty shootout"
which is unbelievably rare. Toulouse won after Munster kicked 3 wides.

Here is the shootout courtesy of BT Sport on Twitter>
https://twitter.com/btsportrugby/status/1522982305861496832?t=VWxU92PS8mpuT5faj_dF5w&s=19

Leinster won away to Leicester yesterday 14-23. I did say in this post from last week
that Leinster are in with a real chance to win both competitions

Leinster are in line to possible win both the United Rugby Championship and this European
Rugby Championship which is the pinnacle of the club game here in the Northern hemisphere.

Yeh, I know the feeling - I'm one from three this round and the last round was four from eight.  (at least that parlay makes up for these losses) - I've found six from eight I break even.

Today the Sea Eagles and Tigers faceoff (with the latter hoping to claw their way up the list of the #NRLbottomSIX) - the Roosters should pluck the Titans and then the Cowboys should annihilate the Knights.

OMG what a win, an absolute trouncing by the Broncos. I'm glad I didnt bet, I was thinking
as probably everyone else was that the Rabbitohs were going to win.

I've heard people were getting five to one an hour before kick-off in favour of the Broncos (and putting hefty wagers on them to win too)

5 to 1 aint bad, I'm not sure that would have influenced me to bet on the Broncos though.



Big win by the Eels today against the form team the Panthers, I dont get it though,
the Eels are beaten by teams they themselves should be beating and then they go and
beat the top team and as visitors, anyway not a great start to R9

I have to re-consider the betting strategy, I cant afford to lose any wagers really given
the odds and the amounts wagered.

I think the Broncos have been holding back this season as evidenced by their emphatic win over the Rabbitohs who just kept fumbling the ball.



Rugby in the Olympics its about time, they already have the 7's game. I couldn't find
anything on Dr.Google about it.

I only heard a snippet of the news article - I'll have a look in the local media sites.
