ITM Cup Week 9

ITM Cup YTD 37-23 +44.00 units

Well very interesting battle we have tonight in which it could be called a battle of big brother and little brother.

Leans:

Well very interesting as bet365 does not have any lines up just as yet. Cant find team line ups as well in my usual spot so going to have to wait for the play on this game. Was thinking this going to be a good game with many points in it as both teams have potient attacks but do lack on D.

All thoughts on the game welcome.

CC

Will have my play up when have a line.

Interesting that you are on counties. They have looked good so far but have lacked against the top confrence teams going 0-3-0 ATS.

 

I've got the line as +/-14

O/U set at 48.5

Yes, 0-3 ats but how many of those we giving them 13.5?

Thanks ROD

Yea i know but just want to know the team ae. From memory Aucklands last hit out was good against wellington.

Tab have the lineups, but they are slow if a player has been ruled out

Well have a line up now so here goes for my first play,

Pick:

Auckland/Counties over 48.5 5 units @ $1.90

Well for m,e this game is going to be a high scoring match. The Auckland boys found their feet last week on sunday attacking well against the habour boys and scored some good tries. Auckland are 4-2 on totals while the conunties boys are 2-4 but some of those games have been played in horrible conditions. I expect the rain to stay away tonight and for some good rugby.

No team play yet still having a think.

BOL

Hope that rain holds off for you.

yea so do i.

With the bad weather around think counties maybe the play tonight. It slightly wetter conditions should make it a close well fought game.

Pick:

Counties +14.5.5 5 units @ $1.80

Like them to play this game in the same manner they did waikato last week. They should be in the game for the whole time and wouldnt surprise me if they almost get the win. Counties are 2-4-0 ATS and Auckland are 3-3-0 ATS. So nothing much there. Just think this game will be close as counties have been in some form of late even though they havnt got the wins.

BOL

The TAB are very strange in regards to these games. They never post totals before the game, only at half time.........

I wish they. I could then stop using Bet365

Why do u think that is the case ecoute?

Money come for counties

Damn, I knew the halftime option of +6.5 $2 was better.

ITM Cup YTD 38-24 +43.00 units

Counties

Over

Well i can not believe that game did not go over and that counties have just been robbed of a win they much needed and should have had. How many tries each week a scored in similar fashion.

What happened at the end? I missed the last 10min

Counties down by 3, 1 minute left on the clock. Counties awarded penalty 10metres out from auckland tryline and they decide to go for the win. Win the lineout...pick and go, pick and go,pick and go on tryline.. Counties prop grabs the ball from the edge of the ruck and dives over for the win.......

   Ref blows penalty against Counties prop who was on one knee when he picked the ball up from the edge of the ruck and scored..

Game over +13.5 easy!

Well got robbed last night on my total the counties boys should have notched up a win but was not to be. Moving foward and we have a very interesting game tonight.

Lean:

Tasman +12.5 5 units @ $1.80

Well just leaning tasman atm. They have had a lot of rest coming into this game and their line up remains unchanged for the most part over the last couple of games. They got a much needed win against the Hawks bay and then a close battle with canterbury. I think the hard fought battle with BOP may have some affects to the naki squad and could mean they get slightly fatigued towards the end of the game. Tasman  are 2-4-0 ATS and are 1-1-0 ATS outside their confrence. The Naki are 4-2-0 ATS and are also 1-1-0 ATS outside their confrence. Tasman have only lost 2 games by bigger margin than this and the naki have only won 1 game by larger margin than this. So bit more confidence there.

Going to leave this at a lean atm and dont have a total up just as yet but suspect it will be at bout 47 and think this should be a under game.

All thoughts welcome.

 

Looks like some filthy weather in New Plymouth tonight

Well have had a thought and just cant look past Tasman team in form and a tired naki team.

Lock:

Tasman +12.5.5 units @ $1.80

Still dont have a total as of yet but thinking it going to be low.

BOL

PaddyPower have a total of 42.5.

Yeas total up now at that. will have to have a think and see whats up. Very low but bad weather is playing to that just not sure if will be a high scoring game.

Picks:

Naki/Tasman under 42.5 5 units @ $1.90

Well yes this total is low but i do think that both teams are going to struggle for points tonight and the big midd week game between Naki and BOP may play a part in that. Both teams are 0-2 on totals against teams out of their confrence. Weather is going to play a big part as well for mind. Should be a good tuff close game.

BOL All

Gonna go ahead and take Tasman +12.5
