    I hope so.... if only to stop the annoying footy fans going to the rugby and spoiling it :yep

    It was one of the things I enjoyed most - going to the game without any hint of trouble.

    Anyways, I've started doing lay multiples on Betfair, I find it's easier to pick teams that won't win, rather than ones that will.... obviously the odds are lower though.

    Yeah there is certainly money to be made, backing something then laying against yourself.

    Luke is a good player, but his brother is something else.... there are two twins in the youths at Bradford, apparently they are something to watch out for.

    Don't have ESPN :lol:

    Yeah have seen some of the State of Origin games a few years ago..... better than those pathetic half-baked ''Origin'' games we had at Headingley on a Wednesday night with half the best players ''rested'' :-(

    The biggest gain for the Rabbitohs this season is their coach, John Lang.

    He's a proven winner and will get much more out of the team than what Taylor did. Seeing as how we were only 3 wins away from a top 4 birth last year, I reckon we're a decent shout to get in there this season. I'll look at the odds later on and will throw a few bucks on it.

    I also think the Knights will get the spoon, and Brisbane will miss the top 8 for the first time in 15 or so years.

    Shakhtar 1/2 over Fulham looks good. They've got to win.

    Any news on the weather forecast for Sunday?

    I know its bollocks but it does infliuence the odds when British teams play the Aussies - has done ever since Saints beat Brisbane that year.

    I got 10/11 on Wednesday, didn't want to wait any longer.

    Are there any alternative handicaps?

    Bump. It's came in at 10/1 now, but still worth it IMO.

    Sinclair is also 11/8 which seems a good bet too.
