NRL: Round 12

Broncos +3.5 @ 1.97 centrebet Broncos -3.5 @ 3.45 centrebet Not sure it is a good idea for the Sea Eagles to play this game in Brisbane on the back of QLD's win in the state of origin. While the Broncos are likely to be without their origin players, they still have a decent squad that is well rested after the bye, and their defence has been very good. While the Sea Eagles also have a good defence, not sure they will have it that easy trying to crack this Brisbane line, and believe the Broncos will hold their own, just like they did a few weeks ago when they played the Storm, and missing several of their key players, and just lost 29-22. That Storm side is better than the Sea Eagles and can see the Broncos keeping it close and maybe even getting the win Bulldogs -7.5 @ 2.03 centrebet Bulldogs -15.5 @ 3.30 centrebet Not too keen on the Titans here as feel they will struggle to hold out Idris here. He has two reasons to prove himself: one to show the Titans what he will do for them next year but also with an opportunity to further push his claims for a centre spot in Origin II. Forwards pretty much cancel each other out while the halves combination are thereabouts, so looking for the edge, and believe if Idris wants this, he can cause havoc. Furthermore, you could argue that Barba, Turner and Goodwin edge out Campbell, Mead and Michaels, and if they give Idris some support, then they should be too stroing for the Titans.

Re: NRL: Round 12 Eels +4.5 @ 1.92 centrebet Eels -3.5 @ 3.35 centrebet Eels may have turned the corner and may be starting their mid season run as they look to maintain the form from their demolishing of the Sharks. Hayne should be fired up to impress Origin selectors while the forward pack has plenty of muscle to give him some space to work his magic. The Knights have lost their last 3 games and are sliding, especially being without Gudley, and too much is resting on Mullen's shoulders to carry the side, as apart from him and Uate, there is not much quality in this side (until next year). Confidence is a key ingredient for these two sides who are both of the top 8th, and the Eels have some, while the Knights do not. Eels to edge this. Cowboys -6.5 @ 2.00 centrebet Cowboys -13.5 @ 2.90 centrebet Cowboys have won 5 of their last 6 games and are in very good form as the little men Thurston and Bowen keeping doing well, while Scott and Johnson in the forwards should continue their impressive form this year. The Roosters have underachieved this year and given their ordinary form, hard to like them until they start producing what they are capable of, and though they beat the Knights, even then, they were fortunate to do so. Cowboys on a Saturday night look like a winning formula over a lacklustre Roosters side

Re: NRL: Round 12 Would appear to be two relatively straightforward matches today with Melbourne at home to Cronulla and St George at home to Wests. The Storm, with Cam Smith celebrating 200 games + the Qld contingent being in obvious good spirits, have ood momentum going into this game against a weak and inconsistent opposition. The Saints, with its Origin contingent backing up en masse have the home ground fortress advantage against the Tigers, who have also been inconsistent this season. Am being very simplistic here but, it's hard to come up with any/sufficient reasons to not back the two home teams. Therefore, have doubled up with Sportsbet: Storm -9.5 into Dragons -4.5 @ 2.95... With confidence! GL
