Toyota Cup - money to be made ?

just happened to walk by the tv as the fox guys were talking about the souths v knights game that's on now and they both tipped newcastle to win fairly matter of factly.

so I zip over and check what the prices are on this match and its souths 1.50 newcastle 2.60

8 minutes gone and the knights lead 24-blot. I'm a big advocate for betting lesser known sports / competitions because the books obviously don't keep as close an eye on the ones with lower $$ turnover, but it looks and sounds like they got this game really wrong.  

has anyone had the diligence to follow this comp closely ?

22-22 after 28 minutes  

at what stage of their development do these man-children learn defense ?

I put a few bets on these games last year and the year before....

I have been pretty lucky with these........

You can get some massive odds and come up with some $$$$

now now Ace, you saw what happened to Fiona O'Loughlan when she spoke ill of Bindi Irwin  

Although some 'kid' on that Souths U20 team has two children apparently 

Same story for one of the Bulldogs U20 players !   

agree, it creates a real void for some of these guys when they become inelligible for this comp but aren't ready for first grade yet.

Overall, these young blokes would be far better off playing in an open age competition like the QLD Cup or the various sub-divisions in NSW.

Would love 2 see a draft like tha nba.........

i, bottom team gets the 1st round etc etc...

like college to nba

I have a lot of faith in what this NRL comission will do for the league once it comes into effect    Fcuk the old dinosaurs off and get this comp into the 21st century

WHAT ???! WHEN ? WHERE ?!    

completely agree in the mainstream comp, it amazes me how even past players are such "squares" when it comes to tipping who's gonna win a football match.

But I just caught a little interest in the NYC given its a bit lower profile and perhaps susceptible to the odd askew line from the books

yep. Reserve grade used to be a strong comp worth watching at the ground. You could drop a guy from 1st's and watch them run around with the reggies for a week or two.

It was still a big step for the kids to come from u20's to reserve grade - something they don't have now.

The current system is stupid
