Super 14 Week 7
HURRICANES ($1.50) v SHARKS ($3.15)
Can lightning strike twice? The Sharks get another chance to ambush a NZ team returning home from SAF. They are capable, and while I feel the Hurricanes will not be completely on top of their game after a torrid match against the Bulls, don't forget the Sharks are nearing the end of their road trip and I do worry whether they can get the same performance as they did last week with their airline tickets now in hand. But the price is worth it - not with the same confidence as last week, but I'll have some money on the Sharks tonight.
WARATAHS ($1.44) v BLUES ($3.35)
I have been saying throughout the season that the Blues have been playing OK, but ironically their win last week has me worried a loss is on the cards for them. The Brumbies made too many line breaks against them last week and had problems with support players (missing Giteau I feel) and/or errors stuffing up promising situations. Any repeat of a leaky midfield and I don't think the Waratahs will be as charitable. MacAlister may be back, which will be a help, but I'll believe that when I see him run out onto the field. I can't see past a Tahs win, so I'm not betting.
CHEETAHS ($1.39) v REDS ($3.70)
No Latham. No chance. No bet.
BRUMBIES ($1.54) v CHIEFS ($2.84)
I remember this game fondly from last year, one of my better collects laying the Brumbies at 1.10 at halftime with a 14 point lead (the game was eventually drawn). The last 2 weeks the Brumbies haven't been as impressive as before, I still believe on any given day the Chiefs can beat anybody, so with fingers crossed I'm chucking some moolah on the Mooloos.
HIGHLANDERS ($1.17) v CATS ($6.40)
Only a fool would back the Cats in this game, but the handicap line of 15.5 is tempting. Further thought is required.
FORCE ($6.00) v BULLS ($1.19)
A potentially ugly game with two of the lesser creative sides in the comp just got uglier with the appointment of Honiss as ref. One to avoid, both betting and watching.
So again, I can't see how I'm going to spend $100 for the JWOC team:
$30 on the Sharks at 3.15
$30 on the Chiefs at 2.84
$40 into the Reserve Fund.
