Re:Aussie Corner

[Guest mattsthebest]

For those of you who aren't aware, I am from Australia and like most Australians I am a devoted, avid, adicted sports fanatic. We just love our sports downunder! So I have come to the decision that it is time to add alittle Aussie influence to this section of PL for those who might be interested in backing a few winners. Obviously I have no actual reputation as such, but I do regard myself to be a good judge when it comes to sports I get to regulary watch on TV. In conclusion the games that I will endeavour to discuss and provide information and tips for are the upcoming Super 12's, AFL, NRL and maybe alittle NBL, even though their season is coming to an end. Each week I plan to open a weekly thread to discuss the up and coming games in each league, so by all means if you have a tip, opinion, question or something of that sought, don't be too scared to ask.:cheers The AFL and NRL are not for a few more weeks, but Super 12's start this weekend.:D At the moment, for those who are interested, I'm strongly looking into the Auckland Blues chances away to the ACT Brumbies. With some key and experienced players lost to other teams or through injury, and ACT not always starting well at the beginning of the season, this may be a very good opportunity for Auckland to win and beat the handicap - currently around 8.5 - 9.5 pts. Auckland have mainly kept their side from last year, that is the side that makes up just about most of the New Zealand team, and so are IMO hugely favourable to take this one with relative ease. The ACT Brumbies home ground is not a place that you will find intimidating as the fans are situated so far away from the ground, and so this will certainly not favour ACT very much. For an early pick this looks to be very good value. Auckaland Blues -8.5pts Back with more information later...

Where in Oz are you Matt? AFL pre-season starts tomorrow night....I know any sport can be a bit dodgy in the pre-season, but there WILL be 2 or 3 very good plays this weekend. Down in Tassie myself, and don't follow any of the Rugby codes, but will definately be here for any AFL support you are after. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts throughout the year. :cheers
