NRL: Round 16

[blackcrow]

Tigers @ 2.33 centrebet Tigers -6.5 @ 4.00 centrebet The Tigers were somewhat unlucky against the Storm as only some exceptional defending denied them the win. While the loss of Marshall is a blow, they still have some quality with Farah and a good pack of forwards who can make some yards for them. The Bulldogs get Ennis, Idris and Hodgkinson, but not sure that these three can make a big difference to a side that is not playing with much effort or passion. They were rubbish against the Sharks last week and now go to Campbelltown where the Tigers have won their last 5 straight games there. Another trend is that these two teams have alternated wins in their last 8 games, and now it is the Tigers turn to win. Either way, if the Tigers play with the same effort as last week, can see them beating the Bulldogs who look out of it. Rabbitohs @ 2.52 centrebet Rabbitohs -6.5 @ 4.25 centrebet Rabbitohs looked good in beating an average side like the Titans and maybe they are starting to get some form to back up their potential. They have some quality in their side, and like Taylor to be a beats up front as he looks to make his way into the starting side for the final Origin game, as he is up against Hannant and Thaiday who are there too. Broncos had everything go their way last week to beat the Dragons, and on the back of the Origin game, and the travel to Perth, not sure how fresh they will be for this game. The Rabbitohs will be looking to make a statement here, and with one win over the Storm last year in the west, hard not to see them fired up to claim another scalp.

Re: NRL: Round 16 Tigers @ 2.33 :( Tigers -6.5 @ 4.00 :( Rabbitohs @ 2.52 :D Rabbitohs -6.5 @ :( Sharks -3.5 @ 2.35 centrebet Titans have been ordinary this year, and now they are without Bailey and Campbell, so they are starting to lack options with who is going to lead them out of the slump. The Sharks on the other hand have Gallan and the rest of the side feeds off his efforts and passion. Like them to follow on from their win over the Bulldogs last week with a win over the struggling Titans. Eels -3.5 @ 2.90 centrebet Eels unlucky to lose the Sea Eagles on Monday night and like them to back here with a similar effort. With no Dugan and Campese for the Raiders they lack attacking options, while Hayne for the Eels is more than capable of tearing them apart if he continues on from the form he showed in the Sea Eagles game. Both sets of forwards are pretty much even, while the Eels have the backline to win this one

Re: NRL: Round 16 Strong fancy for a low scoring match warriors vs storm. A few years ago, this game finished 4-2 to the storm, don't expect that low, but weather is crap and this is going to be ugly.

Re: NRL: Round 16 Storm -3.5 @ 2.17 centrebet Storm's defence has been brilliant the last 4 weeks where they have allowed just 22 points and it is no wonder that they have managed to win each of them. With strike players like Smith, Slater and Cronk, they have the players to open up this Warriors defence, and like them to continue the NZers misery where they have lost 3 straight and allowed 30 points last week in losing to the Cowboys. Though they have done well against the Storm of late, hard to ignore the difference in form between the two sides, and like the Storm to be too strong for the Warriors Panthers -5.5 @ 2.16 centrebet New coach comes in for the Panthers who he, and the players, will be looking to continue to impress to keep their spots for next year. They get back Lewis who adds much to their attack, and are in some decent form, with 3 wins in their last 5 games. The Cowboys are in better form with 4 wins in their last 5 games, and though they are probably a better side, this is a situational bet, since they do tend to struggle a bit on producing the same form on the road as they do at home. The Panthers know they cannot keep slipping up, as they have no byes left, so like them to be much more committed for their new coach. Roosters -1.5 @ 2.35 centrebet Two average sides looking for some form and consistency. Nothing about either side's form gives you confidence that they will win this but the Roosters are coming off a bye, have several players returning like Minichiello, Pearce and Myles from Origin duty, as well as Perrett, Kenny-Dowall and Masoe from injury, and they look a much better side with these players in it. Furthermore, with wins in their last 6 games in Newcastle, like them to do enough here to win the game

Re: NRL: Round 16 Dragons win by 1-12 margin @ 3.00 centrebet Not much between these two very good teams but like the Dragons to edge this as they do get back their main players. Both sides focus on defence, and will be hard to break down, but feel the Dragons have the edge in the halves with Soward and Hornby. Also they are hard to beat down in Wollongong, and the Sea Eagles do not have the best reocrd down there. Not by much, but like the Dragons to have enough to win this one.

Re: NRL: Round 16 Dragons win by 1-12 margin @ 3.00 :( Dragons far too good but did not expect them to win by that 18 points
