rugbylad Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Think +12pts is too big of a start for Les Catalans...I had it as 8pts. Will check the team news... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karel Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Cheers Henry, I had seen them on oddschecker, it was just for the benefit of everyone. I don't have much time so I can't go into great detail, but I like Hull k.r with 8 start tonight, stakes will again be kept low, but with leeds up and coming world club final and the nature of tight games so far, I think Leeds may win but within a converted try. So selection is Hull K.R +8 10/11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leespam Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend I'm on the Rhinos tonight. I've been impressed with them defensively in their two games so far and with Senior and Sinfield also returning, it makes them an even tougher proposition to break down. Hull KR also didnt have the greatest of scoring records at Craven Park last year, only Hull FC and Wakefield scoring less points at home. The worry is Leeds getting enough points on the board to cover the line, but with another week to work on their play, I think they are worth taking a chance on grinding out another win this evening. Leeds (-6) to beat Hull KR @ 10/11 Also gone for the annual Warrington "they-look-brilliant-on-paper-but-more-than-likely-will-flatter-to-deceive-again" early-season bet :lol. Catalans were awful last week which was surprising considering the record they had at home last year. They've lost a lot of go-forward in the recent injuries to Raguin and Ryles, and they also have doubts over McGuire at hooker. They still have some talented players in the shape of Bosc, Greenshields etc. but with a coach who is likely to be still adjusting to the demands of Super League, I fear for their chances this week. Warrington looked great for 40 minutes away to Saints last week before succumbing to a classic second half performance from Mick Potter's new side. They've took steps to address their weaknesses down the flank this week - dropping the "highly-rated" Kevin Penny from the squad completely - and with a massive forward line (Anderson, Morley, Carvell etc.) I fancy them to smash the Dragons about tomorrow night. Warrington (-10) to beat Catalans @ 10/11 Keeping stakes small with the two just slung in with my football bets this week. Too early to be that confident about anything really.

kevshat Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend 2 bets for me tonight. Hills have gone mad again with their anytime markets. 5pts S.Donald to score anytime 11/10 William Hill Scott Donald has been a try scoring machine over the last couple of seasons and he's already bagged his 1st try this season too on the opening night when the Rhinos beat the Crusaders. He notched tries in both matches against Hull KR last season so he knows the way to the try line against them and with Leeds getting a couple of players back tonight, in particular Keith Senior should Donald play left wing, then I think Donald will go over at some point. 3pts Castleford (+12) to beat Wigan 10/11 William Hill As I've said all season so far I like Castleford this season. They never really got going against Quins last week but apparently there was enough there to suggest they'll be dangerous with the run. Wigan have had a really poor start to the season and come into this one missing some key players in Cameron Phelps and Richie Mathers with Pat Richards also an injury doubt. Cas don't have too many worries injury wise and while I think Wigan will edge this game I don't think it'll be more than the 2 converted tries.

henry Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Not got a feeling for most teams on the handicaps. Leeds and KR should be quite close. Leeds have yet to find the spark this season. I feel the sparks on the injury bench in the shape of Rob Burrow. 2 big players return for Leeds in Sinfield and Senior. Leeds should win but KR can keep it close. Wigan and Cas look like 2 teams in transition. 2 teams getting to grips. I fancy a few handling errors and a sprinkling of tries. Overs isnt fashionable these days but I fancy it in this one with the 2 teams looking for their first win. So Im going to go for over 38.5 points on the totals. Plus in addition Im fancying Karl Pryce for a big year. Looks a bit of a monster. Looks a little over priced in the anytime tryscorer @2.5 with Skybet.

rugbylad Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Hello all, Hull KR v Leeds Think Leeds will win tonight, will they cover? probably yes. Is it a bet? not for me. Hull KR have some key players out in key positions but are still no mugs and should test Leeds...probably the strongest Leeds team of the season out tonight. I will however throw a couple of small bets (0.5pts) on the total points market just for interest. Half time points - Under 18.5pts @ Sportingbet:ok Total points - Under 38.5pts @ Sportingbet:ok Wigan v Castleford Think Wigan could win very easily tonight, it just doesn't feel right seeing them only giving up 10pts against the Tigers...whereas 3 seasons ago we were talking about a handicap in the mid-high twenties.

Sinfield not in same class at HB, but this is Leeds afterall. Wish the books would sort out the Sam and Joel Tompkins tryscoring odds situation out. Sam priced up and not playing whilst joel a starter with no price. Was the same last season so it's not summat new. fancy joel to go over tonight. On Leuluai anytime @ 5/2. Good cv against cas, 3 games in all, scored in each with 4 in total. Two in this fixture last season. Cas struggled with a similar 'on the shoulder' player in Dorn last week.

Quite a few winners. Congradulations. Bit of an arm wrestle at KR. Im really not sure about the Webster try disallowed. Still that moment brought about the bacon for the Leeds followers. The Superleague thread had the Wigan anytime tryscorer market licked tonight calling 3 out of the 5. Thats just plain spooky. Got a horrible feeling im going to back Warrington tomorrow.

Punto83 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Bit hard to call this week in the lower leagues mainly because for most teams its their 3rd game in a week. For teams that have lost both games, qualification to the knock out stages is unlikely so together with this and 3 games in a week issue, caution has to be exercised depending on team selections. I'm very tempted to back Featherstone at -10 as Dewsbury have a lot of injuries and we have named a strong 18 man squad. Fev were -4 against Leigh, so I'm surprised we are only -10 against a Division Two side. I'm going to do a bit of digging but I think thats going to be my main bet of the weekend.

rugbylad Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Warrington v Les Catalans (+12pts) I understand why some of you will be backing Warrington tonight, to name a handful:- i) on paper one of the strongest ESL teams ii) first half performance against Saints last week iii) Catalans 8 v 30 Huddersfield wtf?. But year after year we continue to see the same old, one dimensional Warrington under perform and throw away games against the weaker opposition. Why should we expect anything different this year? I certainly could not back them with any confidence to win the game, let alone give up a dozen points. Instead I will be siding with the French, on a healthy handicap and at a ground where they have had a fair share of success in their relevant short history. Yes, they got thumped against Huddersfield last week, but given their disrupted pre-season you can understand the result a little more. Yes have have a couple of injuries but still have quality throughout their squad in Greenshields, Bosc and Mcguire (hopefully he plays :hope) and lets not forget the work horse, Jerome 'Mr French RL' Guisset. Of course no bet is without risk; a concern would be (like Leespam mentionned) Les Cats could still adjusting to their new coach. Not a big bet for me...far too early for that :lol Recommendation: Les Catalans +12pts vs Warrington @ 1.90 general Strength: 1pt :hope GL all (Scale 0-5pts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be weak at hooker, with a young centre wearing 9, no other specialist in the side it seems. Be interesting to see how new SH Perry stands up to this standard. Not a regular back home, this is a step up. Higham could have a field day around the rucks tonight. Cats conceded 5 tries to hudds', with 4 coming from the forwards. On that basis, wires matinee idol, Westwood a decent punt @ 100/30 SJ. Scored in 4 from 6 matches against the French, and will put an honest 80 minute shift in. Had to go with hicks @ 2.00 WH. Wolves scored from the right wing in e 6/7 games with Cats, and Hicks, who looked sharp as did Riley at saints, has gone over the WW each time he's sarted on the wing at home and 3/5 away. Not had time to look over last night's offering's, but if memory serves there were some good shouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done on the Hick bet Greenhoff :clap some nice tryscorer stats there! Nice one RL.:cow Couldnt bring myself to go Warrington in the end. The Cats gave them 2 hidings last season. It was always in the back of my mind. I did jump on a bet though that did recur in the 3 encounters from last season but im not after eventing. About the game itself. Like you said RL. Cats looked out of sorts 1st half. I felt the turning point was the Chris Bridge ball steal that the ref penalised just before halftime. Looked legal to me but that moment signalled a momentum change and Cats scored just before the hooter to go in only 2 behind. Warrington are great for trading though, arent they? Theyll play you off the park for a while then disintegrate from 60 minutes. Crusaders conceded 28 points at home tonight which is interesting. Somebodies in danger of putting 50 against these boys soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punto83 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Windy conditions today up north but I'm still gonig to back Featherstone -10. One advantage for Dewsbury is that did not play midweek (Fev had a hard run out against Leigh) and Dewsbury beat Swinton 50-0 last week. Swinton are a poor side though and they were without their key man Graham Holroyd. Daryll Powell put a focus on fitness and bulking up in pre-season and I think this will see us through today. In all but name, Fev are now a full time side. Powell is a full time coach and in pre season players were having up to 6/7 sessions a week. We have named a strong squad with hopefully the forwards taking control to allow Iestyn Harris (he's in the squad but not sure whether he's starting or not) and backs to score some tries. Its a local Derby but I'd expect fev to cover the 10 points :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints seem to take a while to get going early doors given their up and down performance last week. Meanwhile Huddersfield look to have hit the ground running. Vowed not to pick a winner until at least round 5(Yeah right). Im going down the points road yet again for me. I fancy both teams to post 20 pluses. Past history suggests Saints will run away with it in final quarter. Which is cool by me. Over 42 points 1.9 @ Totesport. Salford are too much of an unknown quantity for me in the other game. Wakey look there for the taking by some team but Im not sure if Salford are that team. Id probably go for unders on the points. Wakey dont look free scoring at the moment with their injuries. No bet.

kevshat Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Good luck all! I'm going with one this afternoon too. I was fairly impressed with the Reds for the most part last week. 3pts Salford (+8) to beat Wakefield 10/11 Stan James I was quite impressed with Salford's focus last week for the most part and over the course of this season I don't think there's going to be too much between the Reds and the Wildcats so I'm not sure where Stan James feel a headstart of 8pts comes from. I'm not complaining though. I think Salford have got points in them, which is always handy when given a start. Richie Myler and Jeremy Smith look a good half back pairing while Willie Talau and Jon Wilshere are experienced international players. There's also enough in their forward to get them into good positions. Wakefield are decimated with injuries and this at a time where the sudden death of Adam Watene is still fresh in the minds. Danny Brough and Jamie Rooney, their 2 best players by far, are both out injured and is Richard Moore along with Matt Petersen. Sam Obst returns to the side to give it a little more balance today but I expect this to be fairly low scoring and with that in mind Salford with an 8pt start is the call.

henry Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Re: Rugby League: Super League Round 2 & NR Cup weekend Betfair have under 48.5 points @ 1.54 for the Wakey game. Looks tempting. Wakey do seem to have muscled up in defence and their attack lacks direction without Rooney and Brough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
