Punting galore 

Now this weekend is offering some amazing odds.

The Raiders are back to full strength (Wiki returning from suspension and Crocker from injury) and paying $2.60 to beat Melbourne $1.45 who are depleted through injuries and Origin duties.

Whats more the Cronulla Sharks are paying $1.95 to beat Manly at $1.80? Huh?

The Bulldogs are paying good money $1.55 to beat the measly Tigers at $2.40. Even the Rabbitohs at $2.35 look ok against the Warriors at $1.55 in what promises to be an even match and with home advantage I think the Rabbitohs could sneak through.

Apparently there's a rugby union match this weekend too where the certain victors the Brumbies are paying $1.50 to beat the Canterbury Crusaders.

I went to New Zealand's rural heartland yesterday and did some vox pops of farmers at a stock sale. One of the questions asked who they would vote for in the next election. Intriguingly there was a wide arrray of hypothetical votes cast.

Of the 14 I surveyed 1 said New Zealand First (its local MP in my area has a billboard which says he's outraged about something or other but then instead of having his picture on it its his charasmatic leader Winston Peters...which I suppose is fair enough seeing its really a one person party).

About 5 said National, 3 Labour, 1 Green Pary - which really surprised me - and several refused to comment. Good to see some political variety in the traditionally conservative rural heartland.
