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.

OMG, I know I asked the question if the Broncos could retain their ladder positioning,
but not really believing they could.....

Well done to them, the result is not good for our bets. My confidence level for the Sharks
is getting less and less, not to score in the second half is very poor.

Are there other teams which could qualify and be competitive in the NRL? I know this
comes back to the conversation regarding relegation.

From a Wiki page I see and didnt realise there were so many teams from NSW.

The headquarters of the National Rugby League (NRL) is in Sydney. Greater Sydney
is home to 9 of the 16 National Rugby League teams: the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs,
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, Parramatta Eels, Penrith Panthers,
South Sydney Rabbitohs, Sydney Roosters, and Wests Tigers, as well as being the northern
home of the St. George Illawarra Dragons, which is half-based in Wollongong. A tenth
New South Welsh team, the Newcastle Knights, is based in Newcastle.

You could probably argue the Broncos saw my tweet and reacted by holding the Sharks out of the water, however, given the number of errors the Sharks made in the first twenty minutes before they scored, I doubt that.

The game advanced 6 - 7 to the Sharks in the last five minutes of the first half then during the break they must have been told to dial back the errors - the only trouble with that was they then failed to score and allowed the Broncos the advance to 16 - 7 with ten minutes play left.  In the last few minutes, the Sharks suffered a fatal blow when a try was disallowed and so they lost.

It was 1986 (apparently) the last time an NRL game finished with a score of 16 -7 (back when NRL stood for NSW Rugby League - and that's the problem even now:  The NRL is still a new South Wales-centric league...)

Looks like I got my bets in on the Panthers and Storm with Nitrogensports before
they closed off that.

So far I'm a bit dissapointed with the Roosters and Rabbitohs and surprisedwit the
Sea Eagles and Broncos, Lets see if the can at least keep their upper mid ladder position



Rugby Union - URC

This weekend sees round 17 on the URC taking place, The race is definitely on for
those top 8 spots for the QF's with just 2 rounds remaining, R17 and R18. This is
how the Table is looking:



I have two piddler bets on Rollbit

Munster v Cardiff Rugby - ML Munster @1.09 - Amount Taken: $2.00 - Potential Payout: $2.18

Cell C Sharks v Connacht - ML Cell C Sharks @1.22 - Amount Taken: $1.50 - Potential Payout: $1.83

My round eight pics are limited to just six games as Nitrogen isn't even taking bets on the Titans Vs Panthers, or, Knights Vs Storm games.  (I'd even put a small parlay on the Dunces to win if it'd make Nitrogen happy)

St George/Illawarra Dragons - Wests Tigers   Money Line   Wests Tigers @ 2.29   Taken Amount: 0.10 mBTC   Possible Payout: 0.229 mBTC


Sharks, Rabbitohs, Auckland Warriors, Roosters, Eels and the Tigers to maul the Dragons - Plus the Panthers and Storm to win their respective games against the bottom rung Titans 12th and Knights 14th.

As I said a couple of rounds back I'm not counting on the Broncos doing very well from here on in.  The Raiders may well put on a brave face after last week's drubbing, but I doubt they've learned their lesson.

Going into NRL round eight we have:

  • #NRLtopSIX - Panthers, Storm, Eels, Sharks, Cowboys
  • #NRLmidFOUR - Sea Eagles, Rabbitohs, Broncos, Dragons
  • #NRLbottomSIX - Auckland Warriors, GC Titans, Wests Tigers, Knights, Raiders, Bulldogs.

So here are my picks for Round 8 of the NRL

Two games which are very interesting for this round IMO are Dragons v Wests Tigers,
Can the WT's go 3 in a row?
and can the Broncos get themselves into the top 8 by beating one of the top sides?

^ Thats interesting and a bit random. Is that played every year between the Dragons and
Roosters? The game itself between the Dragons and Roosters was definitely a game
of two halves, Dragons only to score in the first half, 14loints and the Roosters to only
score in the second half, finishing
up 14-12.

The Storm met the Warriors with a tornado, 70-10

5 from 7 this round

The Australian Defence Force team are playing Turkey - as we speak!

https://www.nrl.com/news/2022/04/25/australian-defence-forces-v-turkey-2022/

Score is nil all after five minutes of play.  (Thirty minute halves)






Twenty minutes down and Turkey just missed a try after a grubber kick.






2nd half kick off



Moments later, Turkey score and convert taking the score to 16 - 6



Final score 26 - 6

Hopefully by the end of round 7 I'll be 6 from 7! but with the URC thrown in its not
great weekend for my Rugby betting unfortunately.

The Eels had to redeem themselves from last weeks beating, unfortunately it
was the Knights that were at the receiving end.

Quote
...the Raiders then went to the pub to watch the game...

love that, had a giggle to myself reading that. The Panthers are so strong ATM,
unbeaten so far and a massive points deficit built up.

Thats a great bet Timelord, and I was thinking the Rabbitohs were not going
to let the same thing happen to them. It will be hard to bet against the
Wests Tigers next round when they play the Dragons.

I am 4 from 5 this round

I'm now at six from seven bets with two games still to play.

This afternoon, the Eels walked all over the Knights to win 39 - 2 while in the first ten minutes of the Panthers Vs Raiders game it was tied at 6 - 6 however, the Raiders then went to the pub to watch the game and the panthers ended up winning 36 - 6.

The price for Wests Tigers has dropped considerably 2.27 against the Dragons 1.6 in the clash next week.  If the Dragons are plucked by the Roosters tomorrow, then it might be worth betting on the Tigers next week.

I've just managed to place a bet on tomorrow's Intrust Super Cup match between Burleigh and PNG Hunters

Burleigh - PNG Hunters Money Line Burleigh @ 1.11 Taken Amount: 0.06 mBTC Possible Payout: 0.067 mBTC

(Given PNG are competing at the Queensland State Level, were they to win the Cup, I'd have no hesitation in promoting them to the NRL for nexxt year and relegating one of the Queensland teams, probably the Titans back to the State comp until such time as they win at the State level again.

A Luke Brooks field goal secured back-to-back wins for Wests Tigers after defeating
South Sydney 23-22 in a thrilling clash at CommBank Stadium.

I was placing the bests for this week (about an hour prior to the Tigers game starting last week) and saw their price has blown out to 10+ so I started thinking after five weeks of losses they might just be hungry enough for a win.  At the same time I saw this weeks price for a Tigers win was around five, so I clicked on the two wagers to make a parlay to see what the price would be, then wondered could they win back to back?

So I placed the minimum amount on a parlay ... and it WON!



I heard most of tonight's game on the radio and the last ten minutes was thriller - five attempts at a field goal (four by the Tigers, one by the Rabbitohs) with the last of five attempts scoring one point with thirty seconds to go, then the Tigers got possession of the ball.  Game Over.  I win.






Four wins from five bets with four left to go this round.   Grin

Last night's game between the Broncos and Bull Dogs was entertaining enough - by the twenty minute mark the Bull Dogs were winning 10 - 0 and at half time, the Bull Dogs were still leading 10 - 6.

After the break, the Broncos ploughed on the points.  With ten minutes to go I was thinking to myself the Broncos need to score again just to rub it in - and they did with five minutes on the clock, they won the game 34 - 14

Yea, what a finishing scoreline, we both had the Broncos to win, I was watching the
scoreline and was a bit fearful at the break, you just never know with the Broncos.

Thanks for the kind welcome to me.

Well i dont know if the bookies have in their catalog the URBA tournament (the most important here in argentina) because the rugby went profesional in Argentina like 10 years ago, and today a lot of player still amateurs, for that you can see a lot of the Argentinian national team players playing in France/England, etc teams.

Yes the world cup its ahead but i dont know how strong Argentina can be, because Argentina its cutting the gap between us and the big teams like NZ, Australia and South Africa but still a lot to work.

I know a lot about rugby but only from my country, from abroad I don't know anything so you won't see me betting.

Welcome @darxiaomi !

Yes its mostly myself and Timelord keeping the thread alive, others have visited but
not regularly.

We indeed would love to hear your thoughts on Argentine Rugby, dont forget Rugby World
