NRL: Round 13

Bulldogs -3.5 @ 2.69 centrebet Bulldogs were pretty poor in the first half against a below strength Storm side last week and got some consolation with an improved performance in the second half. Believe they will lift here and with the heavy conditions after all the rain that has come down, then it should even out this contest. The Tigers game will be negated here as the wet conditions will mean thta they will look to keep the ball in hand, and their usual game of spreading the ball out wide and looking to offload will restrict their game. If they do try to play like this then expect quite a few mistakes and dropped balls which will give the Bulldogs good field position. The Tigers can be hit and miss at times and even though they have won their last two games, they can go off the boil. The Bulldogs will be encouraged by their second half last week, and expect Ennis to have a very good game here at hooker as he has Farah opposite him. Also the kicking of Kimmorley will be important as he is another who will need to lift here to keep their spotfor Origin II. Eels -3.5 @ 2.75 pinnacle Eels were woeful last week against the Dragons but without their inspirational skipper Hindmarsh, they were always going to struggle. The hurt from that loss should sting them into action here, as they look to make up for that poor performance. The Eels match well with the Storm and if their forwards play to their abilities, believe they can overpower the Storm forwards, as this is where the game will be played. The huge downpour of rain this week will turn this into a slugfest between the forwards and with Hindmarsh back to lead the way, like the Eels to edge this one out. Even though the Storm will be abck to full strength, the Eels should be much more committed here and like them to upset the Storm. Trying to predict winners as been hard with the inconsistency of some sides, so hopefully that trend continues here

Re: NRL: Round 13 Bulldogs -3.5 :@ Watching this game and with the Bulldogs leading twice, though they may end up winning this. Bad call by the ref halfway through the second half as a forward pass was ruled, when at best it was a line ball, and the Dogs were likely to score. Tigers then go down the other end, hti the field goal, and score a late try to seal it. Big turning point in the game which went against this pick Eels -3.5 @ 2.75 :D Eels win 24-10. Eels are a team that can beat anybody if they are focused but at the same time, as seen, can be beaten by the worst team (Cronulla twice) when they are not on their game.
