Hi everyone, new to this thread. Been out of Rugby for a considerable amount of time (only actually followed my local team when I played Rugby), what's the best way to get back into it? Where to watch, what to follow, what's in progress, and where to get all the latest scoops? tnx for the info.

So I have a bet on currently with the Dragons V Wests Tigers in the NRL, [who have lost]
At the start of the season, I was calling the NZ Warriors and the Tigers to win the various games, but I called the Cowboys and Dragons based on past wins where I should have called the Warriors & Tigers.
So four from eight games for the week won.
The NRL 2021 Season week 9 kicks off in two days time.
Screen shots via https://www.nrl.com/
My picks for week 9 are:
I'm going to say the Rabbitohs (even though the Storm are in near equal good form - it'll be a good game), Panthers, Eels (another good game in the making), Knights, Titans, Broncos, Sea Eagles over the Warriors (Dally Cherry-Evans will pull some magic out of his ass again) & The Dragons. (And yes, I do put bets on all games)
(The only way I can make a bet worth while on https://nitrogensports.eu/sportsbook is to give the Bulldogs a headstart
) May 02, 2021, 02:06:07 AM
I agree, there will be some tough choices to be made further on in the competition.
With my initial choices I'm 3 wins from 3 but with the Chiefs getting trounced by the
Blues 39-19 I am chasing my losses a bit, which I really hate doing.
So I have a bet on currently with the Dragons V Wests Tigers in the NRL, [who have lost]
I have a win with Clermont Auvergne v Brive in the French Top14 and
I have a win with the Brumbies v Western Force.
No other losses so far.
In the Heineken Champions cup Toulouse had an easy win against Bordeaux,
Leinsters turn today against La Rochelle.
On a different sport, I have been dabbling with Handball, The European Championship
qualifiers are taking place and I've been taking consistent wins over the last week or two.

My picks this round are Rabbitohs, Storm, Titans, Panthers, Eels, Knights, Cowboys and Dragons.
If I'd checked the leader board before making the call above, the only one I would have changed would be the Roosters (4th) instead of the Knights (now down to 11th place overall). I managed to see the first half of the Panthers' game - they played very well and had most of the possession of the ball. All in all, not a bad choice, the hard part will be in the semis when then leading teams start facing off against one another.
April 30, 2021, 04:50:21 PM
Looked like the Titans spent themselves in the first half, only managed 6
points in the second half, not good enough.
I have The Panthers and Eels for tomorrow, im 1 from 3 in round 8, hope it
will be 3 from 3, no upsets thank you very much.
Hopefully Toulouse do the business tomorrow too in the Heineken Champions Cup.
Hopefully we can cheer together!
(I've got bets on the Chiefs over the Blues and the Hurricanes over the Highlanders...)
On your recommendation, i have a small bet on the chiefs too, good odds 8.0
points in the second half, not good enough.

I managed to see the second half of tonight's first game ( Storm 40 - Sharks 14 ) and the first half of the second game ( Broncos 36 - Titans 28 )
The Broncos played a much better game catching up to be 22 - 22 at half time. I thought the Titans might come back refreshed and blitz the Broncos, but the tide had turned.
So far this round I've picked two of three games, hopefully there won't be anymore upsets tomorrow.

(i had a typo earlier 24-32)
Yea strong enough performance by the second on the league table, I didnt have a bet on
either, kicking myself as they were good odds on sportsbet.
They are close behind the Panthers with only 1 loss so far, could the title be decided
with a points difference? hence the field goal

Rabbitohs are looking safe enough now 24-32 with 5 minutes to go.
Just to rub it in - a two point field goal in the last 30 seconds of the game. The Raiders had a try disallowed five minutes earlier, so it was definitely not the finish they were hoping for after their strong start to the match.
April 29, 2021, 06:37:35 AM
Yea I dabble a bit on the Tennis but not as much as Rugby.
Barty is always a big favourite.
Rabbitohs are looking safe enough now 24-32 with 5 minutes to go.
Dont like basketball, dont like the "quarters" format for some reason.
I have Toulouse win their semi final in the Heineken Champions Cup and
a very conservative bet on Leinster. This could be a closer semi final than Toulouse's
La Rochelle are a very big team with big replacements on the bench so they will
be up for a power game, Leinster will be looking to keep the ball in play for as much
of the 80' as possible to get the big lads huffing and puffing.

“He’s probably got a little bit more tempo in his game than Johnny, to be fair,” said the Leinster forwards coach. “I’ve been very impressed with the relationship between him and the lineout caller and the speed they’re able to work together.

The Rabbitohs are off to a shaky start to round eight of the NRL 2021 season:
(Half time and the Raiders are leading 16 - 14)
My picks this round are Rabbitohs, Storm, Titans, Panthers, Eels, Knights, Cowboys and Dragons.
IIRC that's better odds than the ones over at nitrogensports.eu where I've been placing my NRL wagers for a few weeks now.
Hopefully I'll remember to place some wagers and see if they do good.
(I've got bets on the Chiefs over the Blues and the Hurricanes over the Highlanders...)
In off topic news, a Baseball mad fan at work has put me onto The Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants teams who are playing every other day and so far winning more than they loose with odds between 1.5:1 and 3.5:1 - I've also put very small bets for the World Series Boston 67:1 and San Francisco 30:1
Plus if you dabble in Tennis, Ash Barty, her recent doubles partner Jennifer Brady as well as Aryna Sabalenka who Ash beat all have 15:1 odds to 35:1 odds for the French Open, US Open and Wimbledon and are my picks to put bets on this season.
(Half time and the Raiders are leading 16 - 14)
My picks this round are Rabbitohs, Storm, Titans, Panthers, Eels, Knights, Cowboys and Dragons.
I have a few bets in for round 8 of the NRL and looking to back the Rabbitohs against
the Raiders on Thursday but Im second guessing it because of the odds,
Raiders 3.0 - 1.45 Rabbitohs - im thinking there should be a wider margin between
both teams given their run of form and league positioning?

Heineken Champions Cup Semi Final between La Rochelle and Leinster, I'm waiting
to hear if Leinster's Talisman Johnny Sexton will be match ready or not before placing
a bet. If he isnt playing I would give La Rochelle a better chance.

Yes for the Heineken Champions Cup final next weekend I really want to pick
both Toulouse and Leinster. Just checking the stats of both teams and to
me it seems the 2 opposing teams have slightly better stats, FWIW
> https://www.epcrugby.com/champions-cup/statistics/
Massive win by Storm, which im happy with. Today alone has shown some massive
score differences which will always happen with a big league.
Wests Tigers 6 - 40 Sea Eagles
Roosters 34 - 10 Dragons
Storm 42 - 20 Warriors

Eh no, failing to score in the first half and leaking 18 points is not a good start
even though the bulldogs failed to score in the second the damage was done.
Anyway, today I have Storm who are going nicely.

It's not that the Cowboys played better than the Raiders, rather the Raiders played just that much worse than the Cowboys did.
In the earlier game, the Sharks fell behind the Bulldogs and then couldn't catch up to the 18 points the Bulldogs notched up earlier in the match.
The second half of Game eight has just started and it looks like another blood-bath for the Melbourne Storm over the New Zealand Warriors
Pro14 Rainbow Cup
Big win yesterday by Munster V Leinster [Ireland] a replay of the Pro14 final itself,
This head to head is always going to be worth a watch, the top 2 teams in Irish RU.
I didnt bet on that game, very difficult to pick IMO.
Good win by England over France, was always going to be a close affair and england take the Title also.
Yesterdays results:

Yesterdays results:
I had a bet on Wales' Women's team (but had a feeling Scotland would trounce them) and another on England's Women beating the French Women's side, so one win and one loss near breaks even.
Closer to home, I'd picked Canterbury Crusaders beat the Blues but lost on the Waratahs Vs the Rebels.
I've put 3000 on Telouse to win against Begles Bordeaux.
*edit*
... and just in the time it's taken me to type that up, it's now 30 - 10 with just under 25 mins left to play.

I have a few odd bets on for the French and English leagues will share later.
Fairly straight forward low odds bets.

What a game today in the NRL between the Titans and Rabbitohs 30-40.
I had a very small conservative bet on the Rabbitohs but at half time I was sweating,
24-10 to the titans.
In play ATM are the Eels v Broncos, again I have the Eels to win, A small conservative
bet to dip my toe into NRL

I managed to get online earlier in the night and was amazed at the scores of both games. The semi finals this year are going to be electric for all teams given how hard fort the matches have been.
