Punting on the Kiwis 

The Kiwi curse has fortunately struck a week early and Cronulla Sharks player Nigel Vagana has been banned only for one match meaning he'll miss his team's match this week against the Canberra Raiders but be available to help smash the Kangaroo's in the ANZAC Day test match.

Raiders at $1.50 are a certainty, I'd advise punters to bet their lives on it.

Watch the judiciary this week any tackles above the shoelaces will see Kiwi's being banned left right and centre for transtasman match.

The Kiwi's apparently are also bringing back Robbie Paul from Bradford. Thank god Daniel Anderson has taken a step back and let others select the team, I'm looking foward to Penrith powerhouses Puletua and Galuvao smashing some Aussies.

Two things I found interesting while browsing Australia's Centrebet were firstly, they're offering odds on the U.S Presidential elections with monkeyman incumbent George W Bush favourite at $1.60, while Democratic hopeful John - at least I killed a whole heap of Vietnamese while you were off smoking weed - Kerry in at $2.20. Ralph Nader is in at about $100 to one and then there are two other fullas I've never heard of at about $500.

I wonder what odds Bush would be offering if TV camera's weren't banned in the U.S from filming the flag-drapped coffins of their slaughtered servicemen and women returning to the country????

Secondly Centrebet offer a better range of odds to their punters - when one tean is paying $1.80 there the other pays $2.00 whereas here $1.80 is versus $1.95, I know, 5c difference, but still in the long run...how can Ken - pint and pie man - Rutherford be associated with such crooks?

There's a story in the bastion of NZ journalism the NZ Herald today saying that Stacey Jones agrees he hasn't been up to par, and has been listening to talkback criticism too...maybe the callers had a point...I wonder if he'll make the Kiwi side? I hope Guttenbeil has sufficiently recovered from his rib injuries in time.

This weekend the Brisbane Bronco's travel north to Dairy Farmer Stadium to do battle with the fired-up Nth Queensland Cowboys who are billing it as the match of the century. Words are cheap and it hard to go past the Broncos really.

The Rabbitohs $4.50 are playing the Storm $1.18 who are at home however the Rabbitohs have been underestimated several times already this year and the Storm have had their fair share of problems too, they've lost their captain due to underperformance.

St George $1.95 at home against the Panthers $1.80 and they're nearly even money - but so were the Warriors when they played the Panthers and the score was 20 odd points in Penrith's favour - unload on the Panthers.

Manly $2.35 are at home to the Eels $1.55 and its about bloody time they notched up a win, ditto the Warriors against the Bulldogs in Wellington, the odds for that game are so appaling betting is not an option.
