NRL Tips this week are likely to be affected by the injury sustained by Mark Gasnier of the St George Dragons. Gasnier is in doubt to play in the second State of Origin in Brisbane after being ruled out for what could be three weeks with a hamstring problem.

This is a major blow to what was an outstanding NSW state of origin team in game one, with Gasnier almost certainly completely ruled out. The NSW state of origin team is being named next Tuesday, who will take Gasnier’s place is yet to be seen, however early tips are that Manly centre Jamie Lyon will get the call.

With just hours to go no one is probably more ready to go than superstar debutant Israel Folau. Folau has been touted as the new Mal Meninga and is set to have a massive impact on the game in his first outing on this NRL stage. Queensland State of Origin Captain Cameron Smith said the star would make an immediate and indelible mark on the match.

Shy and quiet at just 19, Folau has been quoted as saying: “I don’t want to take too much notice of (those sort of) compliments about me. I’ve got to pinch myself a few times to know this has all come so quickly.”

With the State of Origin series not too far off, players are scrambling to put in big performances this week before selectors bed down their teams for the clash. One player who is still hoping to get a start in the State of Origin is Jarod Mullen. Mullen knows that he has one last chance to cement his claims to a state of origin jersey in front of the melbourne and NSW coach Craig Bellamy when the bulldogs take them on this weekend.

With an ongoing knee injury, Darren Lockyer could face up to another six weeks on the sideline and this would effectively rule him out of the State of Origin series.

Both teams for the State of Origin series game 1 will be announced on Tuesday, with the opening State of Origin game being played at ANZ Stadium on May 21.  The final match of the series will be played on July 2.

Winners in Round 9 were: Roosters, Sharks, Panthers, Manly and the Eels.

The NRL Centenary Test team has taken a massive blow with Darren Lockyer ruling himself out of the match being held on May 9. Lockyer has said that he was determined not to be a liability to the Australian Centenary Test team and this is formed the basis of his decision.

SIGN UP NOW to place your Bet on NRL this week for the Centenary Test with lassesters.com.au

Not only has Lockyer ruled himself out of the Centenary Test game, but also the first game of the NRL State of Origin series. The State of Origin commences on May 21st, but he has said that this game is not looking very likely given that he is expected to undergo an unexpected period on the sidelines with another bout of surgery needed.

The Centenary Test coach Ricky Stuart has confirmed that Greg Bird would be moving from lock to five-eightth. This is a great shame for Lockyer and the Centenary Test.

There were some great wins in the NRL this week, with your Bet on NRL well deserved by these teams: Knights, Eels, Broncos, Warriors, Rabbitohs.

The win this weekend for the Titans notches a club record 5 wins in a row and with the form of the current line up, we think they can make it 6 next weekend.

In other news, the Aussie Selectors announced the NRL Centenary Test team for the clash against New Zealand over the weekend. Ricky Stewart has described the Centenary Test as a “war” and has reacted by naming one of the toughest centenary test sides ever seen, all be it at the expense of seven players who participated in the 58-0 thumping of New Zealand in October last year.

There are a bunch of test debuts to be made during the Centenary Test. The line up is as follows Billy Slater, Greg Inglis, Mark Gasnier, Justin Hodges, Israel Folau; Darren Lockyer (captain), Johnathan Thurston; Brent Kite, Cameron Smith, Petero Civoniceva; Ryan Hoffman, Paul Gallen; Greg Bird Interchange: Carl Webb, Anthony Tupou, Willie Mason, Kurt Gidley

Luke O’Donnell sent fear through the doctors and trainers in the Cowboys camp after hobbling off field during their match against the Warriors. He didn’t return, but luckily scans have revealed that the injury is in a different spot to the hamstring torn last season.

In Brisbane, Hunt has had scans that confirm he has torn cartilage in his knee during the Broncos and Titans match on Friday night and is set to miss the next two games, effectively ruling him out of the May 9 test.

Winners are indeed grinners and this week we see wins from the following: Titans, Manly, Bulldogs, Panthers, Cowboys, Knights, Tigers.

The NRL Centenary Test is looking like it will be an awesome spectacle of rugby league, so it is wise to start researching your odds now and looking for the best odds for your bet on NRL you can get.

Hang onto your hats guys, the Titans have finally won an away game and just to rub it in a bit more, it’s put them at the top of the NRL ladder. An outstanding performance on the the road for the Titans and one that is bound to inspire and motivate the team over the coming weeks.

You can’t go past IASbet for the best in NRL Tips!

It was definitely the Scott Prince featuring the Titans show, but nothing can be taken away from the team who in their very short existence have only ever won 3 away games.

Prince was dazzling at both ends of the field and really putting on a show on how one is supposed to play in the #7 jersey. There is absolutely no doubt that Prince’s performance was a game winner for the Titans, let’s hope they can continue to repeat these amazing feats next week in their top of the table clash against fellow sunshine staters Brisbane.

The other winners for the NRL Tips this week so far have been: Titans, Storm, Cowboys, Roosters, Warriors, Tigers, Broncos.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Just when you thought it was safe for South Sydney to think their season was back on track - think again. They have suffered their 4th straight loss this weekend to Manly and their mammoth efforts of 2007 look to be well and truely extinct at this stage of 2008.

centrebet.com.au have you covered for all your NRL Tips needs.

It’s lucky for the Rabbits that coach Jason Taylor remains optimistic even after watching his team look like fluffy easter bunnies against a powerful and commanding Manly outfit. Taylor has said of his side “This is a great position for us to be in, it’s a great position for us to show what we’re made of” - let’s hope it’s before we get too further into season 2008. Manly won the match up 20 - 2.

In other news this week, the Titans seem virtually unstoppable at home with another impressive victory over the Raiders on the weekend. The match was marred by a 67th minute “king hit” by the Raiders Michael Weyman which saw all referees on field needing to step in to separate all 26 players on the field before Weyman was given his marching orders.

The recipient of the punch was Titans reserve Daniel Conn who had just moments earlier scored under the posts to seal the game for the Titans. Conn was forced from the field with a suspected broken nose and a very unsightly gash under his eye. How long he will miss is yet to be seen, but it was certainly one of the most ugly moments of the week’s round.

Winners in NRL Tips this week would have had their money on: Storm, Sydney, Cronulla, Titans, Cowboys, Warriors and Manly.

Barnstorming runs and monster efforts all round this week in round 3 of the NRL. One of the best wins this week was the Broncos 36 - 2 annihilation of the Cowboys (happy days for those with NRL tips on the Broncos!)  in what can only be described as a big warning to the rest of the teams this year - are the Broncos primed to give Wayne Bennett the ultimate send off? www.iasbet.com.au

After such a win, all eyes turned this week to Israel Folau, the local brissy boy who has decided this week to return home to play for the Broncos in season 2009. The decision has rocked his Melbourne teammates and is bound to influence NRL tips next year. The Broncos are undoubtedly happy with their latest player acquisition and will get the chance to see him play up close this coming weekend when they meet the Storm at Olympic Park.

Winners are grinners and this week your NRL tips should have been on: bulldogs, panthers, titans, canberra, sydney, broncos and parramatta.

A couple of upsets in there for sure and also a lot of rivalry starting to surface so early on in the season. It should make for a cracking 2008 and for some great NRL tips this year.

Here’s the match-ups for next week’s round, our NRL tips are in Blue as always:

Bulldogs v Roosters
Cowboys v Eels
Dragons v Sharks
Sea Eagles v Rabbitohs

Titans v Raiders

Wests Tigers v Panthers

Sizzling is the only word that springs to mind of some of the match ups that took place this weekend in Rugby League. One of the most definitive efforts of the weekend was the 30 - 12 thumping that St George gave the Titans after their sparkling opening round victory at Skilled Stadium. Get your bets on for next week at centrebet.com.au

But it wasn’t all about the Titans this week, there were a few wins that rate a mention in our round up. One of these being the Warriors belting of the Eels and also more notably West Tigers smashing of the North Queensland Cowboys, quite the upset this early on in the season, so expect some good odds from centrebet.com.au next week.
In game round ups, this week’s spotlight belongs to Brett White and his jaw shattering right hook on Ben Cross which may just have caused White to rethink what he is doing on the night of the first origin game. League great Ben Elias has called for Brett White to be listed as a starting forward now for Origin 1 after the punch on Cross, who had prior to this landed a blow on White’s team mate Cooper Cronk. Does this theory stand up? We will have to wait and see, but there is no doubt that White may miss at least 3 weeks for looking after his mate. centrebet.com.au

The winners in Round 2 were: Bulldogs, Canberra, Newcastle, West Tigers, Warriors, Cronulla and St George.

The match-ups for next week’s round are below, our tips as always are in Blue:

Well, well, well folks, if you have been hanging out for the start of the 2008 NRL season - I’m betting that you were not disappointed over the weekend.  Get tipping with centrebet.com.au

It was hard to believe that it was the beginning of the season, with big hits and big action all round the parks. With record making debuts in queensland and injuries a-plenty down south, it’s certainly a lot of action to cram into this centrebet.com.au round up!

The new name on everyone’s lips after this weekend’s round is the Gold Coast Titans Jordan Atkins. Atkins blitzed the cowboys wing and scored himself 4 tries on debut - a feat that has not been accomplished since the 40’s. This opening effort at their new stadium is certainly sending a big message to the rest of the teams - the Titans are definite contenders this year. centrebet.com.au

South of the border, there are injuries to Craig Wing and Benji Marshall that are sending the respective coaches searching for replacements so early in the season. The star South Sydney recruit Wing is facing scans this week to determine the extent of the injury and if surgery is required which will definitely put a massive dent into the south’s outfit if he is out for an extended period.  Marshall’s injury is a serious tear to the ligaments of his knee which could see him sidelined for up to 12 weeks - a massive blow to the tigers this early on. centrebet.com.au

Next weekend’s match ups are certainly sure to stir up the fires again with the following games slated:

Cowboys v Wests Tigers
Dragons v Titans
Knights v Sea Eagles
Panthers v Raiders
Rabbitohs v Bulldogs
Roosters v Broncos
Storm v Sharks
Warriors v Eels

It’s Round 21 in the NRL premiership and we have all the NRL Betting Coverage for Round 21. It’s getting close to the end of the season and there is a massive logjam to make the Top 8. I don’t remember a closer comp down in those regions.

Here are the latest odds for Betting on NRL thanks to www.Lasseters.com.au:

Canterbury Bulldogs vs Parramatta Eels
1.91 vs 1.91
The Bulldogs got out of jail last week against the Dragons and we feel they may rest on their performance a little. Expect there to be fireworks in this clash. The Eels to just scrape home.

Newcastle Knights vs St George Dragons
2.45 vs 1.57
The Dragons will be absolutely stinging from last weeks defeat while Newcastle will also be hurting from their big loss. The difference is that St George should have won - the Knights were never in the hunt. The Dragons to win in the bet of the week - in fact they will get up with -4.5 start too!

Gold Coast Titans vs Wests Tigers
2.30 vs 1.63
This is a tough one. It seems as though the Titans have close to a full strength team this week and will be very very keen to come away with a win at home. The Tigers are due to slow down a bit and could get a shock on the coast. The Titans to win.

North Queensland Cowboys vs Canberra Raiders
1.65 vs 2.28
Both of these teams are on the cusp of the Top 8. The Cowboys are not showing they have much this season - their forwards are letting them down. If Canberra can stop their attack, the game will be there for the taking for them. Expect this to be very close with perhaps the Raiders to win.

Penrith Panthers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs
2.10 vs 1.75
The Rabbits need to continue their winning forum and the Panthers really need a win. But all is not well within the Panthers club and one would expect Souths to get up here. But just when you least expect it, teams have been winning this season - Penrith to just get up.

Sydney Roosters vs NZ Warriors
2.65 vs 1.50
Rooster have been flying high but it’s time to drop back to earth. This will be a very closely fought match especially on the Roosters home turf. The Warriors are a better side, but will they turn up?

Brisbane Broncos vs Manly Sea Eagles
2.55 vs 1.53
The Broncos still have much to prove this season. They never looked like being beaten against the Sharks last week and so they still remain in the hunt to defend the title. But the Sea Eagles are a tough team to tackle this year and will probably get up here. Want to have a bet? Brisbane at +6 points is a chance.

Cronulla Sharks vs Melbourne Storm
4.05 vs 1.25
Melbourne will spank the Sharks. 1.25 is good going and even take them at -10.5 if you want. This is a laydown (we hope!)

It’s ROUND 20 of the NRL.com.au season and hasn’t it gone fast! Here at Winning Margin, you can BET ON NRL like never before with the latest and greatest Australian sports bookmaker, Lasseters.com.au

Here is our Round 20 NRL Preview and odds:

Sydney Roosters vs Melbourne Storm
4.40 vs 1.22
The Roosters have been on a roll since appointing their new high profile coach, but they should come back to earth under the might of the Storm this week. However, expect this to be closer that one might first think - the Roosters are riding high while the Storm might be lacking motivation and could need a loss to spark them at this end of the season. Close match expected.

Canberra Raiders vs Penrith Panthers
1.42 vs 2.90
This battle of the cellar dwellers is sure to send most of us to sleep on paper, but we expect this to be an entertaining match. The Panthers have lots to play for because the last thing they would want is the wooden spoon. But, Canberra has a chance to make the Top 8 and this week they can prove they should be there - Canberra to win.

NZ Warriors vs Newcastle Knights
1.20 vs 4.65
The Warriors are on fire right now and it won’t be changing this week. It’s tough for a team to come away from NZ with a win, and the likes of Newcastle will struggle to do that this week. The Warriors all the way!

South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Gold Coast Titans
1.50 vs 2.65
This will be a tight match up - lucky for the Rabbits that they are at home. The Titans need to get their season back on track but injuries are preventing that. South Sydney to win and they will restrict the Titans to a low score.

St George Illawarra Dragons vs Bulldogs
2.15 vs 1.72
The Dragons are back in town and looking to make the finals. We think they will surprise the Bulldogs this week - who are the most overrated side in the comp?

Brisbane Boncos vs Cronulla Sharks
1.45 vs 2.75
The Broncos can still finish the season well and they proved last week against the Eels that they can still match it without their big names. This will be a close match but Brisbane will win.

Parramatta Eels vs Manly Sea Eagles
1.77 vs 2.08
The Eels weren’t THAT impressive in the 2nd half last week. The Sea Eagles will start fast and hold on to their lead with their good defense. Manly to win.

Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys
1.45 vs 2.80
The Tigers welcome back Marshall this week and expect him to fire against a NQ side that needs to pick up their game. Wests to win by 10.

An interesting week in the NRL.com Competition this week. With the State Of Origin series now behind us, it’s full steam ahead to the finals - and it’s going to be a rocky ride. With matches being very unpredictable all season, this week is proving to be no different. Here are the current odds and our preview:

Wests Tigers vs Penrith Panthers
1.42 vs 2.90
The Tiger’s will be hungry to win this one, as it should be their easiest in the run into the finals. Expect them to maul the woeful Panthers.

Brisbane Broncos vs Gold Coast Titans
1.37 vs 3.10
The Broncos will be battle weary from an avalanche of matches for most of their players over the last month. Expect this one to go down to the wire - Brisbane to win but the Titans at the +8 point line.

South Sydney Rabbits vs Melbourne Storm
2.45 vs 1.53
The Storm should crack the whip in the match. The Bunnies have improved and will make the top 8, but they won’t be winning this one.

North Queensland Cowboys vs New Zealand Warriors
1.75 vs 2.10
It’s traditionally tough to win in North Queensland, but the Warriors’ defense is up for the challenge and we feel New Zealand will get up in this one.

Manly Sea Eagles vs Sydney Roosters
1.23 vs 4.30
The Sea Eagles need a win and this is the game to do it in. The Rooster will be looking to turn their fortunes around, but don’t expect it in this match.

St George Illawarra vs Canberra Raiders
1.45 vs 2.75
Canberra are a great price for this match up. The Dragons will be resting on their unexpected win of last week and will have trouble beating the Raiders here. Canberra to win or safety in the +7.5 line.

Cronulla Sharks vs Bulldogs
2.45 vs 1.55
Bulldogs finding form - Cronulla losing it. This game could seriously go either way - we’ll take the value in the Sharks, thank you very much.

Parramatta Eels vs Newcastle Knights
1.33 vs 3.40
The Eels are hitting their straps and should get up against the Knights. Warning though, if they are off their game at all the Knights will sneak home.

Best of luck this week! BET ON NRL NOW WITH CENTREBET.COM

BET ON STATE OF ORIGIN

What are your thoughts on the State Of Origin 3 match? It seems as though all of the money keeps coming for Queensland, but it could certainly be closer than expected. The current odds are:

Queensland: 1.53
New South Wales: 2.55

The line is around 6 points in favour of NSW. Whatever way you look at this match, Queensland should be favourites. They have a proven side that is willing to go the extra distance to win the game. The homeground advantage is especially critical in this match - Queensland should win. No doubt about it. Our thoughts are that 1.53 is a good price for the Maroons to win.

BET ON NRL ROUND 15

New Zealand Warriors vs Penrith Panthers
1.45 vs 2.80
Both sides looked unconvincing last week, but expect the Warriors to run away with this one on their home soil.

Manly Sea Eagles vs Bulldogs
1.53 vs 2.55
Sharing the top of the table with Melbourne, Manly are looking really good this season. This is a danger match for the Sea Eagles - The Bulldogs are ready to roar and we’re tipping them to topple the Eagles.

Canberra Raiders vs North Queensland Cowboys
2.00 vs 1.84
The defense of North Queensland in recent weeks has been woeful - seriously bad… I mean DREADFUL! But, expect that to end this week with a smashing of the Raiders in Canberra. The Cowboys to win easily.

Sydney Roosters vs Parramatta Eels
2.63 vs 1.50
This is a really interesting match up. The Roosters shouldn’t have won last week and the Eels have been up and down. 2.63 for the Roosters is good value.

Gold Coast Titans vs Newcastle Knights
1.62 vs 2.30
The Titans have been tough to beat all season. This will be a tight match but expect the Gold Coast to win at home.

South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Cronulla Sharks
2.12 vs 1.73
Souths to win! Cronulla have been slipping recently and whatever side turns up to play this match will win - that will be the Rabbits!

Melbourne Storm vs St George Dragons
1.15 vs 5.50
The Storm are on fire… seriously! Don’t even think about backing against them at home.

Brisbane Broncos vs Wests Tigers
1.42 vs 2.90
Tough match, but Brisbane will go 2 wins on the trot against the Tigers.

Here we go with NRL Betting, thanks to Centrebet.com.au:

JOIN CENTREBET NOW FOR FREE CASH

Bulldogs v Brisbane Broncos
1.50 v 2.50
A tough match to pick, but Brisbane look set to fire because they have a lot of pride to play for this week. Watch for a Brisbane win if Mason doesn’t play for the Bulldogs.

Manly Sea Eagles v South Sydney Rabbitohs
1.25 v 4.00
It’s tough to see Manly get beaten here, but the Rabbits are showing improvement. Their defense is one of the best in the comp right now, and a bet on Souths at +11 (or even +12 would be better if you could get it) might be a good one.

Cronulla Sharks v New Zealand Warriors
1.40 v 3.00
Another match that could go either way in our books. The Warriors have been VERY close in most of their recent matches and it could all turn around this week. This will be closer than expected. Tip is NZ.

North Queensland Cowboys v Melbourne Storm
2.33 v 1.61
Melbourne are almost back to full strength and will be very tough to beat. The Cowboys would have trouble with Thurston playing - but with him out it will be almost impossible. 1.61 for Melbourne is good value.

Penrith Panthers v Sydney Roosters
1.44 v 2.80
The Roosters have been improving and could have sprung an upset before losing a couple of key players this week. Panthers to win.

Parramatta Eels v St George Illawarra Dragons
1.25 v 4.05
The Eels are very short to win this match - poor value in our opinion. They should win, but it will be close.

Wests Tigers v Gold Coast Titans
1.38 v 3.10
The Titans are due for a big performance. Wests to win with Titans to win at +8 start.

Newcastle Knights v Canberra Raiders
1.50 v 2.65
This will be a close match and Canberra at 2.65 is great value. The Knights have a lot to play for this week - should win.

South Sydney v Penrith
2.15 v 1.72
This is a great opportunity for South Sydney to get back on track this week after a string of really disappointing losses. Expect them to put up a great fight this week and take it right up to Penrith. Souths to win in a very close go.

Canberra v Parramatta
2.60 v 1.50
Canberra has been improving and does play well at home, but Parra are on a roll. Expect this one to be closer than many expect. The Eels should win, but Raiders to cover the 6.5 point line.

Sydney v North Queensland
2.05 v 1.77
Like the Rabbitohs, the Sydney Roosters can get things back on track this week against a depleted North Queensland side. There’s value in them there odds - Roosters to win at home.

New Zealand v Melbourne
1.58 v 2.40
Melbourne have been killed by Origin this week. It’s going to be a huge effort for them to get close to the Warriors. New Zealand to win.

Newcastle v West Tigers
2.60 v 1.50
The Tigers had a shocking loss to the Eels last week while the Knights bounced back from a previous week thumping. This one will go down to the wire with both sides hurting from Origin. The experience of the Tigers should get them home.

St George v Cronulla
1.82 v 2.00
This is the toughest match of the week to pick. We’re siding with the StG Dragons to get up on home ground advantage. Stay away from betting if you can.

Penrith (2.60) vs Manly (1.50) - A tricky little match up here, with both sides coming off impressive wins. It will be easy for Manly to go into this match complacently, but they are on a massive roll at the top of the table and should eat up the Eels.

St George (4.00) vs Brisbane (1.25) - The Broncos had their biggest ever win against Newcastle last week (71-6) and they showed they don’t belong on the bottom of the table. One win doesn’t fix all of their problems however, and will they be ready to beat the Dragons this week? On paper, the match is over, but St George could surprise. Brisbane to win in a close encounter.

Sydney (1.40) vs Newcastle (3.00) - The Sydney Roosters had a wonderful victory against Cronulla last week. We suggested last week that the match would be close while everyone else said the Roosters would be beaten easily. The Roosters defense has been very impressive recently, while the Newcastle Knights have been terrible. Expect the Roosters to dominate this match, even with the return of Danny Buderus for the Knights.

Melbourne (1.16) vs South Sydney (5.25) - The Melbourne Storm home ground has been dubbed ‘The Graveyard’ recently. It’s tough to win there. Souths need to improve if they are to even get close. Melbourne to smack the Bunnies.

North Queensland (1.50) vs Cronulla (2.60) - The Nth Qld Cowboys put it to the Bulldogs last week, and they are tough to beat at home. Cronulla need to put last week behind them and start over. North Queensland to win by 6.

Gold Coast (1.55) vs Canberra (2.45) - Canberra have impressed recently, while the Titans had a very scrappy win last week. This will be a tight match. Our tip here is Canberra by 2.

New Zealand (1.82) vs Canterbury (2.00) - The Warriors continue to go bad away from home. Even at home recently they have struggled. Canterbury will not be happy with giving up a home game to play Nth Qld in Brisbane last week and going down. They finished that match off well and will be looking to continue that into their NZ game. Bulldogs to win.

Wests (1.80) vs Parramatta (2.00) - Wests just held on last week against Penrith, while the Eels impressed. For Parra, this will be a tough match to back up into. It’s a split decision and we’ll go with the Wests Tigers based on their home ground advantage.

First of all, a quick update on the First State Of Origin Betting Odds:
Queensland - 1.67
New South Wales - 2.25

Lots of other great State Of Origin Bets available here

Now onto Round 11 of the NRL.com Premiership season. With State of Origin players back again, and backing up, expect some tough matches this week. You can bet on NRL now and get the following odds:

Canterbury Bulldogs (1.78) vs North Queensland Cowboys (2.05) - A difficult one to pick, but we expect the Bulldogs forwards to give a good account of themselves and tip the scales the way of the home side. Both teams need a win, but the Doggies will prevail.

Canberra Raiders (1.95) vs St George Dragons (1.85) - The Raiders have been hot and cold this season, but one thing is for sure, they love to play at home. Expect a good effort, and Canberra to just get up in a high scoring match.

Manly Sea Eagles (1.78) vs Melbourne Storm (2.05) - By far and away the match of the round. This is a very tough game to pick between the two front runners of the comp right now. Expect some inspiring performances that will leave Manly just getting away with a home win.

Cronulla Sharks (1.20) vs Sydney Roosters (4.65) - The Sharks are also flying high and sitting in 3rd spot on the table at present. The Roosters performed very well in Melbourne last week for 30 minutes, and expect this to translate into a tight match this week. If you were tipping, stick with Cronulla, if you’re betting - why not take the Roosters at +13 points start!

Gold Coast Titans (1.72) vs South Sydney Rabbitohs (2.15) - The Titans are in a rut at the moment and our opinion is that even at home they will have trouble getting out of it against the defensive toughness of Souths. The Rabbits to win.

Brisbane Broncos (1.42) vs Newcastle Knights (2.90) - The Broncos are a star studded side that will win this week. There is a lot riding on this match for all involved, and expect them to beat a travelling Newcastle.

Penrith Panthers (2.05) vs Wests Tigers (1.78) - The Panthers are hot and cold this season so far, while the Tigers are flying high after a tough win in NZ last week. The week off won’t do the Panthers any favours - expect the Tigers to give it a good shot.

Parramatta Eels (1.48) vs New Zealand Warriors (2.65) - The Eels should perform quite well at home, but always be wary of the Warriors. They will be desperate to win this week after being beaten at home last week. We think the Warriors can win this one.

I have to admit, the first 10 rounds of the www.NRL.com.au competition has flown by. State of Origin is just around the corner, and in fact, this round is always tough to pick because many gamebreaking players are not playing for their clubs this weekend. We’re going to look at this as best we can for our Round 10 NRL Odds Preview.

St George Dragons (1.58) vs Gold Coast Titans (2.40) - The Titans have disappointed in the last couple of weeks mainly due to Preston Campbell being out of the side. But this week, with a fairly unchanged side, the Titans can show they are a better team and I like to think they can beat the Dragons.

Parramatta Eels (1.60) vs North Queensland Cowboys (2.35) - Whoa… Who would have thought the Eels would be favourites in a match against the Cowboys a couple of weeks ago - but that’s what we have here. A poor match last week and a few key players missing for the North Qld side brings the Eels way into this match. I feel the other Cowboys players will lift and will tip them to beat the Eels in a very close match.

Melbourne Storm (1.22) vs Sydney Roosters (4.35) - With a couple of Storm players wanting to prove State selectors wrong, expect Melbourne to fire against a depleted Roosters side.

New Zealand Warriors (1.72) vs Wests Tigers (2.15) - The Warriors lost concentration in Newcastle last week a let the game get away from them. Expect them to want revenge with the Tigers this week. It’s tough for away teams to win in New Zealand - and the Warriors are the pick.

Canterbury Bulldogs (2.00) vs Cronulla Sharks (1.82) - Certainly our best tip of the week is the Sharks to topple the Bulldogs. Cronulla are untouched thanks to Origin, with a couple of players rightly having the shits at the selectors for their non-inclusion into the NSW side, most notably Brett Kimmorley. Watch ot Bulldogs.

Manly Sea Eagles (1.25) vs Brisbane Broncos (4.00) - Could things go from bad to worse this week for last years champions, Brisbane? It doesn’t look good for them with half their side missing for Origin. However, the script hasn’t been written yet - Brisbane posesses some serious depth in their club and the young guns will enjoy the challenge to step up and try to beat the Sea Eagles. Tough to see them winning and Manly is the tip.

Good luck with your NRL tipping and NRL Betting this week.

An interesting week of NRL BETTING this week with the following matches coming up:

Friday NRL Odds
Cronulla Sharks (1.87) vs Brisbane Broncos (1.95) - A tight match-up is predicted here, but Brisbane should just hold on. Cronulla are coming off an unexpected victory last week and we expect them to take a little while to warm up.

Manly Sea Eagles (1.48) vs Parramatta Eels (2.65) - After an interesting perfomance against Canberra last week, they will find it tougher against the Eels on Friday night. Expect a tight match.

Saturday NRL Odds
Newcastle Knights (1.90) vs New Zealand Warriors (1.90) - Another tight battle is predicted when the Warriors take on the Knights in Newcastle. The Knights are tough to beat at home, so this match could tip either way. Expect the Warriors to get up, just.

North Queensland (1.28) vs Penrith Panthers (3.70) - Penrith are looking really bad this season. Expect NQL to prevail at home.

South Sydney Rabbitohs (1.42) vs Canberra Raiders (2.90) - The Raiders are showing some really poor defense this season, while the Rabbits are killing it. Expect a one sided affair to Souths.

Sunday NRL Odds
Sydney City Roosters (1.82) vs Gold Coast Titans (2.00) - There are some times where we ask ourselves “What don’t we know that the experts do know?” This is one such time. The Titans SHOULD be favs for this match, but they aren’t. What are we missing? Titans all the way!

Wests Tigers (1.78) vs St George Dragons (2.05) - The tigers are coming off a great victory against Melbourne and unless they have dropped considerably since then, expect them to spaaaaank the Dragons!

Monday Night NRL Odds
Melbourne Storm (1.62) vs Canterbury Bulldogs (2.30) - The match of the round? No doubt Melbourne will want to forget last week and the Bulldogs need a win - so expect firewords. The Storm should get up.

With the City-Country NRL Match just past on Thursday night, many of the players this weekend will have their minds on other things. We’re tipping a weekend of upsets.

Brisbane (1.40) vs South Sydney (3.00) - Expect a tough encounter and one in which Souths could prevail. At 3.00, this could be the upset of the round - beating the Broncos at home is no easy feat.

St George (1.80) vs Penrith (2.05) - Both teams are in a dire situation - a must win game for each. We expect Penrith to prevail - but it will be tight!

New Zealand Warriors (1.24) vs Cronulla Sharks (4.10) - Well there is no way the Warriors should have won last week - scoring twice in the last 5 minutes to overhaul Souths. Expect Cronulla to put up a good showing - +12.5 Sharks could be a good option.

Parramatta (1.62) vs Sydney Roosters (2.30) - Good value on the Roosters here. Expect them to put in a good showing as the outsiders.

Wests Tigers (2.60) vs Melbourne Storm (1.50) - Punters are onto this one we think - the Tigers are primed for a big win at home. Expect big things from the Tigers, who could put an end to the unbeaten 2007 run on the Storm.

Canberra (2.70) vs Manly Sea Eagles (1.47) - The Raiders have been tough to beat at home this year and this weeks sees a possibly flat Sea Eagles team have to face them. The Raiders could upset.

Canterbury Bulldogs (1.38) vs Newcastle Knights (3.10) - The Bulldogs had an unexpected loss last week - so expect them to be strong this week. The Knights most likely won’t win this one.

Gold Coast Titans (2.10) vs North Queensland (1.75) - A great performance by the Titan’s last week could see them flat this week in a clash that is likely to be a blowout the way of Noth Qld.
