NRL NRL 2020 Season - Round 8

[AmericanAFL]

Pretty sure these two teams hate each other.
Round 16 will be interesting when the panthers and tigers meet again.

Yea I was wondering if there is some history behind it?

Battle of the West there’s always bad blood

Seibold is dead man walking.

I’m not entirely convinced. He has a 5 year deal and the contract is weighted in his favour so it would cost the Broncos a fortune to get rid of him. They may have to stick with him.

Brisbane can affirm it the one team that can

I think there is a clause where if the ponies don’t make the finals, they can dump the coach at minimal expense

Nice to see Manly and the bunker disagreeing again.

Lottoland played host to extraordinary scenes when a decision in the game's final play sparked outrage from Manly players and fans.

[Aucklander]

Terrible decision not to award a penalty, extremely dumd to call a ref that.

Watching the Sunday Footy Show this afternoon some of the "experts" no longer think that is the case. They confirmed with Lockyer during the week that there is no get out clause and that the contract is so heavily weighted towards Siebold that he could in fact extend his tenure to a sixth season. If the Broncos want to terminate it will cost them millions.

Either the Chairman and most of the Broncos board goes or the coach goes - not BOTH STAY AS IS

I’ve already made two wagers for next week. Roosters only a 10-1/2 favorite is very light. And the Warriors should be the favorite against the Titans.

I’m prepared for max punishment from the NRL betting gods.

Some are calling it the worst contract deal ever written, so if the coach goes, the chairman and the board must also go.

My app has already moved the Roosters line to 12-1/2

Not completely convinced it was a penalty, did seem like half a challenge was a 50/50 call.

Got on the 10.5 when it opened, surely they cover that and with ease. Even 12.5 is too light, should be 16+

 

[AmericanAFL]

I also have the Tigers and 5-1/2. I know they won’t have J Leilua but that’s still a fat number. That team fights.

I was debating whether it would be 16.5 or 17.5 mate.

Good value

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Roosters (-10.5)
Rabbitohs (-5.5)
Panthers (-5.5)
Dragons (+4.0)

Biggest two potential upsets next week are

Dragons against Sea Eagles

Bulldogs against Brisbane

I'm the other way, think Souths cover, although not a confident one.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Another thing, remind me how and why Canberra are favourites this week? Didn't Melbourne just beat the Premiership Favs? Won't use the M word...but seriously Melbourne will win easily.

 

[AmericanAFL]

I jumped on it before remembering the suspension situation. Not sure how big a factor that is. Without thinking of Leilua I figured the line would be 1 or 2, so jumped on the 5.5.

Should be a fun game either way. Outcome may end up deciding who plays finals.
