NRL: Round 23

[blackcrow]

Gold Coast -1.5 @ 2.00 (sportingbet) Two good sides who are in form and have been playign an attacking brand of rugby league match up here which can go either way. Souths have won the last 2 games in Sydney while the Titans did beat them 22-14 earlier this year. Asotasi is a big loss for them in the forwards and like the look of Bailey to take advantage of this as Souths don't really have anyone else who plays the same way as Asotasi and Bailey do. Thes rest of the two teams are very smialr in nature, and if Bailey manages to get the teamin moving then the likes of Prince and Campbell will dictate the game. Titans to edge this Bulldogs @ 2.35 (sportingbet) Bulldogs are 2nd and look to ensure a top 2 finish with a win here. They ahve the likes of Kimmorley and Ennis who drive their team forward aided by a forward apck that is no nonsense and work hard to get the yardage for these two to take advantage of. Not convinced by the Cowboys as they rely too much on Thurston and Bowen and even though they have some decent players, they have been found to be inconsistent at times. Like the Bulldogs here and it is helped by their 9-3 record they have at Townsville

Re: NRL: Round 23 Cowboys Vs Bulldogs Bulldogs have hit a bit of a slump these last few weeks, lucky to beat Souths and Canberra and seemed to have lost the cutting edge that they had previously, Cowboys have looked good although they lost away to the Storm last week i thought it was only Storms great defence that won them the game. I will go for the Cowboys -4.5 and over 44.5 @$3.55 with Sportingbet. Souths Vs Gold Coast I think that the way Souths are playing they have a great chance tonight, last week down 12-0 against Manly at Brookie oval they completley destroyed Manly and if they can repeat that form tonight they should beat the Gold Coast who had a good result last week against the Warriors, they have done a lot of traveling and i think home advantage will give Souths the edge. I will back Souths to win and over 44.5 @$3.55 with Sportingbet.
