NRL: Round 8

[blackcrow]

Broncos -13.5 @ 2.80 centrebet Both teams are coming off losses but the Knights should be concernced how badly they lost to the bottom side Cronulla last week. They showed that they are lacking quality all over the park, and now with Simpson out, they are without a very good forward who is one player who can get them going forward. The Broncos lost to the Bulldogs but unlike the Knights they still have some quality there as they Folau and Lockyer in the backs, while Thaiday and Parker are good players who can get the side going forward. A couple of weeks ago the Broncos easily beat the Sharks 44-16 and they do tend to play better at home in front of their own crowd, while they have been beaten by big scorelines away from home. Newcastle have been beaten by at least 18 points in their last 3 away games and they have a poor record at Suncorp, where they have lost 2 of their last 8 games there. In the last 2 games there, they have scored only 8 points but allowed 95 points so looking at a good Broncos win here Eels -12.5 @ 2.75 centrebet Local rivaly here as both sides should be up for it, but the dogs come into this game without Morris, Roberts and Hannant, and this weakens their side quite a bit. The Eels in their win over the Cowboys last week looked like a side that are starting to get their confidence back and with a solid forward pack to lay the platform for a very good backline headed by Hayne, they look to win another game at the expense of their rivals Eels have won 6 of the last 7 clashes which were all at ANZ Stadium. They have virtually a fully fit squad for this game while the Bulldogs have a number of injuries, and they look likely to outlast the Bulldogs here

Re: NRL: Round 8 Broncos -13.5 :@ Looked good leading by 10 points at half time and with the Knights tending to fold in the second half, it looked a winner. However it was the Broncos who folded and the Knights came home strong Eels -12.5 :D
