Did not return. Sonny Bill Williams sent off for the tackle on Johns. Will cop a 4-6 week suspension in all probability.I hope McIllwain sleeps very badly tonight. One more game to go tomorrow to bring to a close a very insipid betting performance by me. I hope nobody followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crouch Potato Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion Bunnies are a good chance, but they'll need Williams to pull his finger out. His execution was poor in the 2nd half against the Dragons in the charity shield. Having said that this side looks strong, Sutton belongs at lock and Merritt there is a big boost too. Leaning towards Souths 1-12 at the moment as I don't expect the Roosters to roll over and also because Williams isn't a great kicker. Nice tipping today too Jumbo, 2/2 is impressive given you went for 2 dogs. Knights were a little lucky, but we all need that in this game.

Jumbo Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion Yeah mate extremly lucky,but your correct we all need that. Very big game for Souths mate,good forward pack and Roosters got new halves in there,should be a good match,i'm leaning Bunnies 1-12 as well,but will most likely just take the h2h for double your money odds,Hard luck this weekend mate,only the first weekend though,head up,I like your write ups,good stuff.Good luck mate.

Crouch Potato Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion Cheers mate. I should have stayed away from teh Manly game given all the Raiders changes but oh well. With both Lockyer and Parker out next week I strongly fancy the Warriors to thump Brisbane next week. We had enough problems dealing with the offloads of Webb and speed of Bowen. I can't imagine how we will deal with such an athletic forward pack like the Warriors and the support play of McKinnon.

Jumbo Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion You to aye,the Manly game was my downfall this weekend as well,he,he. After thie matches this weekend there is some definte money to be made next weekend already,Raiders looked rudderless can't see that improving in the next 5 days and Penrith look disgusting,Bulldogs should thump them.I think the Broncos will struggle here next weekend as well,but in saying that the Warriors had 73% posession in that first half and Parra scored pretty freely in the 2nd half,so have to see how training go's this weekend and who the Broncos are bring next weekend. I don't reckon that SBW dserves to be suspended it did'nt look really bad but as it's Jhons, SBW might have a holiday comming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion Definitely wasn't a send off offence. If there was no injury there is no sending off but I feel the scenario forced the ref's hand. Because the injured player was Johns I'm sure SBW will get a few. As for the Warriors game, I think Brisbane will bring in Michael Ennis to hooker and possibly shift Berrigan to the centres with Moon going back to the bench. Eastwood if fit will start in place of Parker, unless Carroll is suspended. Nick Kenny and Dave Taylor are the most likely forwards to come in. Taylor is a rookie and Kenny has just played a couple of games. Aside from Hunt and maybe Berrigan or Hodges I can't see where Brisbane will threaten and the size advantage the Kiwi wingers will have over Boyd and Michaels might also be significant. Might be worth watching if Moon plays centre as defensively he could be exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion Good stuff mate,the Broncos is always a very big game for the Warriors be intresting to see what the start is in that match,the Warriors fall away if they are leading by alot,will be intresting to see what the bookies come up with. I've got to say though the Dragons were always going to beat the Titans their forward pack will struggle against the bigger sides and once I saw Campbell at fullback I saw dollar signs,I knew what Brownie would do. You a Broncos supporter? I went against them in the World Club Challenge to and I knew the Cowboys would dick them on Friday night,big game for the Cowboys when they play the Broncos,the loss of the great work horse Webcke is a massive loss for them,I really think they will struggle this year,Webcke was the key for them,fantastic player I was lucky enough to meet him on a couple of occassions,fantastic guy. The Cowboys have a very well balanced side,If they can stay healthy they'll be hard to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion Yeah I'm a Broncos supporter. That World Club Challenge was the best result I've had so far, got all my bets right for that one lol. Webcke is a big loss but I think we'll go okay this year. Our performance on Friday night was much better than our opening performance last season and we rebounded well last year. I liked the game of karmichael Hunt, he ran at the line which is something we haven't had in a halfback for a long time. Obviously Webcke is irreplacable but I think everyone can step up to cover the gap. Overall I don't really think we are any worse than last year, but in overall terms the problem will lie if the other teams have improved from where they were. The Storm lacked experience last year and will be a better team this year. A couple of other sides look good too, but it is just the first round. It was only round 5 of last year everyone had the Cowboys to win the premiership and they couldn't even make the 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crouch Potato Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion Hey,couch potato the closer it gets to kick off the more I want to leave this match alone,I might just pull out of this one and wait for next weekend. Ah,nah stuff it have to be in to win,Souths to win $2.10 NZ(TAB) This match reminds me a little of the Raiders game, with Souths having a lot of changes too. The only difference is that in this situation Souths have had positive changes whereas the Raiders changes never looked promising. If it's any help, the last 5 fixtures at venue, Roosters have scored 21-30pts on all 5 occassions, the Rabbits 11-20pts on 4 occassions. Souths won just once, 17-16 a couple of years back. Last year Souths charged late but went down 28-26. Williams will be the goalkicker for Souths, not sure on the Roosters but I expect Fitzgibbon and Josh Lewis will rotate duties. There are a couple of angles, but a bit like some other games on the weekend I'm not really sure which one to take. Either way I think it'll be relatively close. Draw @ 80mins might even be on.

Jumbo Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Re: Rugby League: NRL Round 1 (Mar 16-Mar 19) + Season Discussion I've already posted on my other site to take the Bunnies so I can't jump ship now and pull out,lets hope for a good one tonight,should be close as you've indicated CP,hopefully the Bunnies will pull one out of the hat for us,I'm really big on this upcomming weekend already,i've got dollar signs in my eyes already but we better finish this round first. Intresting call on the draw at half/full time I might have a gander on that as it should really be tight,all reports say that there's gonna be a big crowd for the new look Bunnies,I agree that the Bunnies have definitly gotten good value with their buys and theres a couple of Roosters that are very new to say the least,still some good old heads in there though,but same can be said of the Bunnies. I'm still leaning towards the Bunnies but still have reservations on them but thats to be expected,it's not like they've been world beaters in recent seasons,but the edge must go to the Rabbits,Roosters got new halves,new winger albeit a young kiwi lad,the interchange probaly favours the Roosters with both Paea brothers and two big boppers in Myles and Tonga there,but most games are decided in the halves and the Rabbits probaly have the edge.I like the look of the Rab's backrow of Sutton,Fa'alongo and Kidwell and Asotasi will definitly add some starch in there,centres looks to be where this match will be won or lost,Vagana needs to keep on top of Soliola or he with Minichello could spell troble. It's so close to call,but i'll stick with the Bunnies 1-12 looks the best bet as I doubt either of these sides will run away from the other,it's more of a mental thing for the Bunnies,but all reports are that they are keen as to get the season off on the right foot,the only real fault I can find with the Roosters is their halves as i've already said,heres what i've come up with, Best Bet:Souths to win $2.10 TAB(NZ) Worth a go:Merrit to score at any time.$2 TAB(NZ) So close to call this one,but the Bunnies need to get off to a good start and with the leaders they have in their side,tonight might just be their night,Rabitohs to win,JUST.

Low. Both teams have new half combinations and these will take time to gel, not to mention teams are generally a little rusty. Goalkicking isn't the best on display either, so four points wont always become six. I expect the game to be played out similarly to the Dragons Titans game yesterday.

In saying that the roosters need to get Wing,Soward and Mini more involved when they are on the attack. All credit to russel and peter holmes, they both put there money were there mouth is and whatever happens for the rest of the season it has already being a succes for souths :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
