I decided to take a decent gamble and put $50 on Tariq to score a try at $4.50. Also have $50 on Winterstein at $2.10. As long as one of them score I'll be happy but knowing my luck I'll lose out on both.
We tend to say this whenever Samoa play another minnow type side but Roberts repeatedly manages to disappoint even us, here, who don't rate him at all. Surely for all his faults he should be a class above Holden Cup second rowers, park footballers or state cup hookers? But no, he's shown up by amateurs and makeshift halves all the time. I'll never forget that mid-season game against Tonga where a NSW Cup hooker Daniel Foster absolutely schooled him in halfback play. I don't know who to tip because Samoa frustrate me so, but I'm barracking for Fiji. Aaron Groom to turn back the clock and forget all about his plastic knees.
Tipping Fiji, they've got the far stronger side across the board. Samoa win wouldn't totally surprise, Masoe coming off the bench has been huge for them, if they can get some early ball to Lafai and well just get ball to Milford they can win but I don't see it happening. Fiji 13+
Rumours floating about that Wes might play five-eighth. So even if nothing else, that means you should all think twice before backing him to score a try.
Wes playing 6 would make a Junior Roqica try much more likely I guess as he could end up in the backs again. Hmm.
Now hearing Daryl Millard will in fact play five-eighth.. Wouldn't be surprised if he was named 6 and he swapped with Wes when they were out there tbh.
Yesss first try, $210 Can't see the game because my internet is down, someone to fill me in on the try.
Samoa not realising it's last tackle two sets in a row... you'd think being the NRL system for years now Roberts could at least organise that
It's awesome how accurate this post has been so far on so many levels. I'm gong to give myself a wrap. Magic to hurry up and tell me about the Groom try though IMO.
Uate made a break up the middle and Groom was up there in the support. Showed turtle like speed to just make the line in time before the cover defence got him
