The Rabbitohs "new" coach chalked up his 100th game with the team who served up a 40 - nil thrashing of the Dragons on Thursday evening. The Rabbitohs climb the ladder to sit equal with the Dragons on 22 points. As you can see from the nrl.com/ladder screen grab, 10th to 17th placed teams are all sitting on $501 odds with none expected to make the top eight much less the Grand Final.
This afternoon, the Sea Eagles will try to fend off the Dolphins who sit one spot above in 9th position. The difference in prices is stark:
The Melbourne Storm's convincing win against the Bulldogs in the late game last night further embeds their second place on the ladder. As the number of weeks grow short, it is unlikely the Broncos will fall out of the top eight, however, the Dolphins are breathing down the necks of the Roosters who take on the Eels in tonight's late game. The Bulldogs can't move into the top two, but can hold onto their third place on the ladder.
(the Canberra Raiders also cemented their #1 spot with the thrilling win against the Panthers - an indication of which way a Grand Final might go)
The Sea Eagles have been a little hap hazard of late and the Dolphins will make them suffer. The Sea Eagles on the other hand will want to push the Dolphins to tenth (the for and against might prevent that from happening).
It's a must win for both the Dolphins and Roosters tonight. Last placed Titans are unlikely to have a win against the Warriors in the second game, but this year has been so Topsy-turvy, anything is possible.
Tomorrow, the 16th placed Knights should be felled by the Broncos, then the Tigers *might* (just might) have yet another impressive win, this week against the Cowboys.
The Wallabies win against the Springboks went unnoticed by the Australian media until Tuesday then they've gotten into a frenzy that the Wallaby's will do big things in the next few weeks (which is typical of Australian mainstream media in that they will only latch onto winning teams).
In the Women's Rugby world cup, hosts England won their first game against the USA 69 - 7. England is expected to win the competition. Tonight, Australia take on Samoa (should be a close game) Then, Scotland and Wales square off (that should also be another close game).
