The Early Line: Rep Weekend
Australia enter the Anzac Test at Eden Park against New Zealand as 8 to 9.5 point favourites. The Kiwis have beaten Australia only twice in the last 15 meetings dating back to the Kiwis' 2005 Tri Nations victory. Both of those wins came in Brisbane with the Kiwis losing the three Tests in New Zealand […]

The Early Line: Round 7
St George Illawarra will go into their clash with Newcastle as 4-point favourites. There is the slightest of leans the Dragons here as they are 19-10 ATS at home over the last three years and they have won 9 of their last 10 at Kogarah. Wayne Bennett also has a poor 2-6 record against his […]
The Early Line: Round 6
Canterbury have opened up 3.5-point favourites in their Good Friday clash with South Sydney at ANZ Stadium. I don't have any real interest in this one. Canterbury have been good this year but there are still question marks over the attack sans Trent Hodkinson and Souths really haven’t shown much all year. There is no […]

No real betting situations present themselves here except Manly as a home favourite, where they were 11-4 ATS last year. That should be taken with a grain of […]
The Early Line: Round 1
An absolute crackerjack to open the season with Wayne Bennett's Newcastle hosting the supercoach's former team St George Illawarra with the Knights opening up 3.5 to 4 point favourites. The Dragons have won seven straight against the Knights in Newcastle and the Knights went 3-8 ATS in night/twilight matches. The Dragons were 2-1 ATS when […]

From The Couch: November 1
Issac Luke, Grub to the Core: Rugby league would be better off without Issac Luke. He is the kind of skirt better suited to soccer or random midnight park attacks on innocent victims. He has done so much to shame the game this year that I would be embarrassed to be in any way associated […]
