rabbitohs2005, good to see that you weren't able to reply to my post. Perhaps because you have little knowledge of the game, or perhaps because you realised that you were well and truly beaten in the argument.
Either way, I'm sweet.
And that site you gave for betting ... wooden spoon betting has most certainly not been closed there. Here:
Betting Agencies Souths - Wooden Spoon

I'll be tipping Newcastle to win in Auckland this weekend. I've also tipped Roosters to beat Souths. If that happens, the difference will be one competition point.
But hey, tell me, do you reckon Souths will have a home ground advantage against the Roosters (perfecto
) this weekend? Am interested to hear your response on this one ...
In Round 25, Knights play Sharks and Rabbits play Cowboys. Newcastle will probably win, because Cronulla suck Souths are almost deadset morals to go down to NQL. I cannot fathom how you think that because you beat them up at Dairy Farmers, it will make it easier to win this time. As a matter of fact, the Cowboys would have been so embarrassed that they lost to the "Pride of the League" that they will come out very fired up. I expect NQL to put 40 on your team.
So that puts Newcastle one point AHEAD of you.
Then in Round 26, Souths have the Sharks while Knights vs Dragons. Let's take the scenario that Souths win on the Saturday night. They go one point ahead of Newcastle again. Newcastle don't want the spoon, so they come out firing against the Dragons on Sunday. Coops and Ryles happen to not be playing due to injuries, and Brownie decides to rest Barrett, Gasnier, Hornby, Timmins and Bailey because he doesn't want more injuries leading into the Finals. 'Lo and behold, the Knights beat the Dragons.
Ahhh, Souths take the spoon home to mum for the fourth year running.
It may be an unlikely scenario, but it's far more likely than your one of "Souths will win all their games and Newcastle will either win one or lose them all".
