    I would in this one.

    There's more chance of hell freezing over than Gillingham winning away.

    Maybe they will win but I couldn't back Charlton no matter who the playing personally, there is as well the draw to think about.

    Welcome to rugby league Mr gareth Thomas .... first touch hes almost out for the count ....lol

    Sydney Roosters 13/10 to beat Wests looks a smashing bet this weekend .... Todd Carney was brilliant for them last week and if there defence hold then they will win !!

    How is he getting on?

    I think he's a bit old to come to league and be a success, the physical nature of the game will be too much for someone at his age who's already had a very hard career..... I think anyway.

    He got a huge hit in the firs 5 minutes and was out on his feet ...hasnt had a touch since ... playing on the wing ...

    I agree Beeston a great pro but league is a young mans game and only freaks like Menzies and Stanley Gene still excell ... and for thomas to try something new now im not so sure ! ....

    Mind you ive had a pony on him scoring tonight :good .... im just a sentimental old fool !!

    Yeah agree.... does anyone actually know how old Stanley Gene is?

    I remember when Leeds had Paul Sterling from 1997 onwards, I think he was 33 or 34 when we signed him and was great for those four years until the idiot coach decided he didn't like black players :-(

    Yeah 16-6 down :-(

    We've got a lot of injuries, this set of young players isn't as good as the last lot (hardly surprising :lol:) and they just aren't doing it. Plus there are a lot of old men in the side as well - I'm not doing to be a dick and blame the pitch though!

    I saw that Rovers had a 12 point start on Betfair at slightly better than evens, couldn't stop myself putting a 20 on it :nut

    Just seen Thomas going off - he keeps going in with his head.... can get away with that in union because tacklers have to wrap their arms around, in league it's more hitting than tackling in the centre of the field.

    I don't see a whole lot of value in that fight to be honest. UD and Decision are both seemingly just as likely, Lindsay has some power (not a huge amount) but Arthur never stopped.

    How much have you seen of Arthur?

    Dunno, nothing about the prices stand out for me.

    They were 11/2 before kick off :twisted:

    Not really.... there's a treble of Wigan, Huddersfield and Wakefield, pays 6/4.

    Man Utd will beat Liverpool I think, 8/11....

    Yeah but as a single market you are never gonna load up on Lindsay at 1/5 or or more likely 1/7 depending on where the free bet is. £5 free bet at 1/5 is a bit pointless, might as well take a bigger punt :p

    And the method of victory options are a bit...meh. 11/8 ain't that great when its not that easy to know what will happen in that regard.


    I have got a little on that double.

    That's exactly what happened at the start. He took the second play into contact head first and looked like Zab Judah on ecstasy.

    In Union it's about contact on your terms, hence him going in so low.

    Why hasn't this been picked up in training?

    It's an obvious flaw to a part time league watcher like me.
