NRL: Round 4

[blackcrow]

Rabbitohs @ 2.20 centrebet Looking for some consistency from the Rabbitohs as they showed against the Eels last week, that when they put it together, they are hard to beat. They have a good pack of forwards while the backs have their moments. The Sea Eagles did well to outlast the Knights last week, but they have two less days to prepare for this game, and not convinced that they have hit their straps yet. The bunnies to edge this Panthers @ 3.40 centrebet Broncos have done well to win their last two games, but the side does lack some talent especially in the backline, with plenty of young faces there, and the Panthers do measure up well with them there. Not much seprates the two sets of forwards on the day, and like the value about the Panthers, as they can bounce back, like they did to smash the Eels, and like them to do so here too.

Re: NRL: Round 4 Rabbitohs @ 2.20 :D Panthers @ 3.40 :( Raiders win by 13+ margin @ 2.10 centrebet Simply, the Raiders play well at home while the Titans struggle on the road, and having lost their first 3 games, hard to see them doing much down south, when they are missing Friend, who is an important player for them. They lack direction and cohesion, and expect the big Raiders forwards to be running freely here. The raiders have won all 4 games at home to the Titans, and can see them continue this streak Eels -3.5 @ 2.05 centrebet The Cowboys did well to beat the Storm on Monday night but it will be interesting to see how how they back up here against the Eels, as that was a tough win for them. The Eels have an extra three days to prepare for this game after being beaten by the Rabbitohs, and they were somewhat unlucky given that they had at least one, if not two tries that were not awarded to them early on, which would have changed the game. Still, they can take heart from that good start to the game, and with a few days extra to prepare, expect them to pick things up. They have a very good record against the Cowboys who are not noted travellers, having beaten them the last 4 meetings, and can see them winning here

Re: NRL: Round 4 Warriors win by 1-12 margin @ 3.10 Tab The Sharks have turned things around with two good wins in a row and confidence is high, but they have changed the venue for this game to be played in NZ, and this may backfire on them as they have not won in NZ in their last 4 years with the Warriors. The Warriors have made a few changes to their side to stop their slide and with Mateo playing five-eighth, it may give them the creativity that they have lacked. The Sharks are playing it simple, and are being effective about it, but will their intensity remain the same after the big scalps of the Dragons and the Panthers. Get the feeling that the Warriors will lift for this one, while the Sharks may be a bit cocky going into this game, and like the Warriors edge this, since most of their clashes to be close encounters Dragons win by 1-12 margin @ 3.10 Tab Knights play their first home game of the season, and coming off their midweek decision to sell the club to a multi billionaire they will be looking to make a huge impression in front of their new owner as well as the crowd. However it is a task ask against last season's premiers who bounced back from their loss to the Sharks with a clinical performance in the win over the Warriors in NZ. The Knights team is without several players due to injury, and with the Dragons having won 10 of the last 12 games in Newcastle, they will be favoured to do so again. The last 5 games have been fairly close, and with Gidley back, the Knights should be competitive, but the Dragons have too many big guns and like them to do enough to win this game Roosters win by 1-12 margin @ 3.10 Tab The Roosters are favourd for this game, but concern is that they were favoured to beat the Sea Eagles a couple of weeks ago, and they were soundly beaten. The Tigers have been hit with new injuries to their backline with Lui, Tuqiri and Lawrence all out, while Fulton, Gibbs and Ryan are still out, so they will be looking for a massive game from Marshall and Farah to lift their players. Still like the Roosters to edge this though as they do have the players to outplay the Tigers, who will find it tough without so many players. However with the Roosters abililty to go to sleep at times, can see Marshall making the most of this, but believe the Roosters will do enough to hang on.

Re: NRL: Round 4 Gotta say I like the Dragons to win by13+. They have a great record against Knights at home. The Knights have some injury concerns that the clinical Dragons should expose.

Re: NRL: Round 4 Warriors win by 1-12 margin @ 3.10 :D Dragons win by 1-12 margin @ 3.10 :D Roosters win by 1-12 margin @ 3.10 :@ Last leg of the treble and at good odds, with the Roosters scoring a late try, and with 12 men, to send it out of the 1-12 range.

Re: NRL: Round 4 Bulldogs win by 1-12 margin @ 3.40 Tab Storm are coming off a pounding by the Cowboys and should bounce back against the Bulldogs with a much better performance. The Bulldogs have been consistent and have a team oriented approach with no real stars but just a bunch of guys playing for each other. They have notched wins over the Roosters, Tigers and Rabbitohs, with each of these wins by 10 points or less. The Bulldogs defend well, and will need to scramble well, and if they watch the Storm's game against the Cowboys, they will see how the big three of Slater, Cronk and Smith were nullified. With the Storm seeming to have a problem playing on Monday nights, having lost their last 5 Monday night matches, and with the Bulldogs having a good overall record against them, winning 2 of the last 3 meetings, like the Bulldogs to remain undefeated in a close match.
