Auckland 9's Draw

    Completely ignoring groups, I'd rate them:

    1. Titans
    2. Tigers
    3. Warriors
    4. Eagles
    5. Dragons
    6. Broncos
    7. Panthers
    8. Cowboys
    9. Sharks
    10. Eels
    11. Knights
    12. Roosters
    13. Raiders
    14. Rabbits
    15. Dogs
    16. Storm
     
  2. Andato BJT Manera

    I like the look of the Panthers and Dragon squads. Cowboys have a solid squad but Titans have the most complete squad and will probably limit Bailey's involvement.
     
  3. Magic AJ Parker

    Sheck's still recovering from his broken leg, no chance they'd be sending him over to NZ. He's a 50/50 chance of playing in the WCC.

    It's quite a decent looking side. A few youngsters/fringe players there who should be perfect for this format.
     
  4. Julian BJ Taylor

    Yeah Reuben will be brilliant. It's a shame he's an out and out winger because I reckon he'd oust SKD pretty quick if he could play centre.
     
  5. Ged GEC King

    Brisbane have Easts, Canterbury and Parrmatta in their group. If they can't top it there's something wrong. At 13-1 they're good value imo. Should be almost a lock for the quarters.
     
  6. Julian BJ Taylor

    I reckon Parra could knock them off ged.

    Having no decent half will cost Brisbane.

    I'll bet you $50 neither of them win it.

    And you're criminally underrating Newcastle and Cronulla IMO.
     
  8. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Alternatively, Taylor could invest his $50 on them winning on betfair and get odds of 6.14 instead of the measly 2.00 you're offering. :p
     
  9. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Some of these sides are really lacking in go-forward. There's going to be some utter mismatches. Just cause it's 9 v 9 doesn't mean you don't have to get forward first. Side to side football won't work against sides that know how to slide properly.
     
  10. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    lol, I know. Shh.
     
  11. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    A better idea would be...

    If the Titans or Tigers take it out, I'll give you $50 and donate another $50 to the charity of your choosing. If they don't, you donate $10 to the charity of my choosing. And I'll even throw in Manly too.

    You can't beat a deal like that.
     
  12. Julian BJ Taylor

    I'll just put $50 on Titans to win @ 11-1 me thinks.
     
  13. Julian BJ Taylor

    Top 2 go through yeah? If so I'm deffo putting dosh on the tits tomorrow.

    Don't you like poor people? :p I'm giving you 3 of your top 5.
     
  15. Tartmaster AJ James

    I'll take you up on that.
     
  16. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Where are they paying $11?
     
  17. Ged GEC King

    Don't two go through or is it just 1st from each pool and straight to semis?
     
  18. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Deal.
     
  19. Tartmaster AJ James

    They were $12 on Betfair before, under $10 now.

    2 from each pool.
     
  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    It technically is a good deal if he throws in Manly. If he doesn't, it's still a poor deal.
