Really fancy a couple this week - so upping the stakes a touch :D

Can't play Highlanders v Brumbies - I had it at Brumbies +4, there's so many pros and cons to taking each side that it'd be far more sensible to sit it out.

4pts :eek: Blues (again!) v Sharks (-15 Sunderlands) - this is a crazy price anyway + I hope it's there in the morning when I ring up:D . I'd still be a big player -19 or 20 anyway though. True, the Blues will fail to cover a big handicap sooner or later, but barring the disaster at Carisbrook, they've looked different class. The Sharks look the best SA side at present and had a good win at the Chiefs. However, they were turned over by the Crusaders last week + I have the Blues as a 15pt better side.

3pts Reds v Cats (-10 Skybet, -12 Chandler) - opposing Cats on travels for 3rd week in a row, getting beaten by 31 by the Chiefs was a terrible result + am confident that the Reds, back in Brisbane can manage a double figure victory. The Cats have been conceeding plenty too, which we obviously need to cover the Handicap. Only worry is that the reds have had to travel back from SA.

3pts Bulls v Crusaders (+10) Bet Direct - Great result for the Bulls last week + they will surely be full of confidence even though Mehrtens returns for Canterbury. I had the Crusaders as slight favourites + feel that 10pts is giving them too much respect in a foreign country. Both sides have played at NSW recently, the Bulls only losing by 7 more points - only a small guide I know, but not enough to give away 10pts + home advantage in my opinion.

:p

also going to have a sneaky 1pt on Chiefs (+7) v Stormers on a hunch:)

Fingers crossed for a good week;)

No time for a big write up, as I am concentrating on the snooker, but I am opposing the Brumbies away from home. Their away form has been poor this campaign, and Otago is not the place to take bad road form. One of the hardest grounds to play at, and with Tony Brown at fly half for the Highalnders, I fancy them to beat the Brumbies tomorrow morning.


1 Point Highlanders (-2.5) at 1.86 with Betfair

Two plays for tomorrow, and match those played by Hoss.

Auckland Blues vs Natal Sharks

The Blues have beaten everybody they have faced at home by over this spread. Teams like the Crusaders, Brumbies have already perished, and they are better teams than the Sharks.

2 Points Blues (-19) at 10/11 with SportingOdds

Queensland Reds vs Cats

Cats woes to continue. Despite their low standing the Reds have a team packed with Australian internationals, and it should be way too much for the Cats. The best they can hope for is to match the Reds in the forwards, because the Reds backs have the potential to score a lot of points.

1 Point Reds (-10) at 5/6 with Victor Chandler

oh oh - this Blues game is not looking good at half time:eek:

Sharks are playing out of their skin + it's chucking it down - not good for covering big handicaps!

Results

Blues 25 Sharks 16
Reds 41 Cats 13
Bulls 32 Crusaders 31
Stormers 24 Chiefs 23

3 out 4 winners :D , but as last season, yet again my biggest bet was a loser :mad: . Even worse, I had a BIG double with the Reds! Blues were camped out on the Sharks line for the last 15 minutes but couldn't get over - they were by far the better side in the second half, but gave away too may silly penalities in the first half.

Reds won easily, + nice to see that both dogs won straight up:cool:

+ 2.1pts on week

Season now 11/5 68.7%

+ 10.58pts
