blogging it real

Time to regain the competitive edge after picking only a lousy two out of seven matches last week.

Bennyasena is on 31/56 (55%) matches while the NZ Herald's Peter Jessup is on 28/56 (50%).

Nothing to write home about but at least everybody's having a hard time of it.

This week the Warriors ($2.55) take on the top-of-the-table Sharks (1.47) in Perth which puts it at the convenient kick-off time of 11.30pm for New Zealand viewers.

Aussie punters reckon the Warriors could do it.

Here's where the Aussies are throwing their cash in round 9:

$16,000 @ $1.75 ON NTH QLD V PARRAMATTA
$30,000 @ $1.95 ON NTH QLD TO FINISH TOP 4

Anyways the rest of the matches and the world famous Bennyasena versus Peter Jessup tipping competition:

Saturday May 7:
Dragons versus Rabbits - Both Dragons
Panthers versus Raiders - Both Panthers
Sharks versus Warriors - Jessup Sharks Bennyasena Warriors

Sunday May 8:
Broncos versus Bulldogs - Both Broncos
Eels versus Cowboys - Both Cowboys
Roosters versus Knights - Both Roosters
Manly versus Tigers - Jessup Tigers Bennyasena Manly

Anyone keen for a punt: chuck five dollar multi on Manly to win, with Warriors to win with a +6.5 start, and the Cowboys to roll the Eels.

Here's what the TAB is saying about the Brisbane Bulldogs clash:

Brisbane have strung together 4 wins on the trot, whilst the Bulldogs have also succeeded in their past two clashes. This shapes up as an absolute blockbuster and a possibly prelude to the Grand Final. Whilst the 'Dogs are weakend in the forwards through injury at the moment, one feels they have the ability to rise against class opposition. Suncorp Stadium has held no fears for the men from Belmore in recent seasons and the $2.90 looks an attractive price.

Yeah right.
