NRL: Week 3

[blackcrow]

Parramatta win by 13+ margin (2.35 @ centrebet) There was much to like about the very good defensive performace by Parramatta last week and much to dislike baout the way that Canberra have played in their last two games. As teams start to settle down into the rhythm of week to week competition, Parramatta's encouraging effort and backed up by Moi Moi and Mateo making inroads into the opposition's defensive line, look for the Eels to make the most of this, and then giving their backs some space to work the ball. The last 6 games between the two teams have been lop-sided encounters so Parramatta look the more likely to win this game and win it well, as the Raiders are struggling to finish off their attacking plays, and if the Eels play with the same intensity in defence as last week, then Canberra will struggle even more so to get over the try line. Parramatta to win this one comfortably Melbourne win by 1-12 margin The Cowboys are always tough to play against at home and their little men in Bowen and Thurston know how to cause problems to the opposition's bigger defenders as they like to continuously turn them around. However the Storm have more class in players like Ingles, Slater and Smith, backed by some very good forwards especially like Johnson who leads the tackle count. The Storm have the last 4 clashes between the two sides as well as 7 of the last 10 games in North Queensland so look for a close win by the southerners as the Cowboys will make them work for it

Re: NRL: Week 3 Just back from Mt Smart having watched the Warriors vs Broncos. Super impressed with the Broncos, will look to see what price they are for the grand final, cause right now I can't see anyone that can stop them
