NRL: Round 20

[blackcrow]

Manly win by 1-12 margin (3.15@ sportingbet) Manly are at full strength for this game while Newcastle have lost Houston so their forwards will not be as strong. One wonders what the effect of their coach Smith's decision to go to the Roosters will have on the rest of the team, and the shock and dismay as this decision could have a negative effect on their play. Manly are one win behind Newcastle on the ladder and have beaten them both times in Gosford so while they were fortunate to beat Cronulla last time out, they have the players, like Watnough who has been in very good recent form to edge this over the Knights who also come off a bye Gold Coast -16 (2.00 @ sportingbet) Gold Coast have some very good form and will look to use this as they take on a depleted Broncos side that has leaked points over the last few weeks. Now they are without Lockyer, Folau and Thaiday and things look even more grim for them. Expect Campbell and Prince to find the holes that have been in the Bronco's defence to get the likes of Bailey and Lafranchi running through them. The Broncos are nowhere near the side of years gone by and another big loss looks likely

Re: NRL: Round 20 Gold Coast should win this very comfortably. I heard this morning Broncos are without 7 regulars in total tonight. With the Titans in excellent form, playing at home and Broncos on a downhill slump even with all the regulars playing away I can see an easy victory for the Titans and the odds show this. I've been waiting since the odds were put up to place my bets on 'Pick your own line' with Centrebet and I watched the odds for Titans win start at 1.52 and drop to 1.18 now. Gold Coast Titans -14 @ 1.87 Centrebet Not sure on the Manly V Newcastle game, I believe it could go either way. Even though Manly are big favourites here, Newcastle are doing pretty well and are in good form. I believe there is a good chance of an upset here so small stakes for this match. Newcastle Knights +6.5 @ 1.97 Centrebet GL
