Great Britain vrs New Zealand - Rugby League International2006-06-27
Paul Sandells
Great Britain take on a strong looking New Zealand outfit tonight at 20:00 GMT. The game, slotted between two Superleague rounds, is expected to be a full blooded battle. There are plenty of interesting prices around for punters too.
The Great Britain coach, Brian Noble, is expecting 100% commitment from his squad. With Australian based Adrian Morley flying in, fit again Warrington star Martin Gleeson ready to go and captain Paul Sculthorpe in good form, Noble belives his team will be too strong for the Kiwis. Great Britain are heavily odds-on for this game, with 1/3 (1.33) being the best price around right now. We prefer to look towards the handicap market for this game, though. Although this will be a tight game we feel Great Britain will cover the -8.5 on offer from Mansion Sportsbook - currently a shades odds-on at 1.90. Bet 365 have a wider range of markets for the more adventurous punter. A more reasonable 1/2 (1.50) is on offer for Great Britain in the simple outright win market. However, if you fancy the game to be a low scoring affair, then you may want to take on the 5/6 offered for "Time of the first try" being over 7min & 45secs. The "Anytime Try Scorer" always offers the greatest value from the forwards. Keiron Cunningham, who many consider to be the greatest hooker in the world right now, is an attractive 11/8 to score a try at any time. Naturally, the wingers are quite short, but the 4/6 for Ade Gardner looks a safe bet. The weather is expected to be fine at Knowsley Road this evening. With the recent dip in temperatures this could result in a free flowing game with plenty of points on offer. The even money (2.00) for 9 tries or more is a little skinny here. Better value can be found elsewhere. Betfair have a "Total GB Points" market. Over 26.5 points does look a good bet for Noble's men. Although the liquidity in this market is poor, as kick off time approaches, a price near to even money should be available. Ed note: Back Great Britain to win by 9 points or more with Mansion Sportsbook at 1.90 and get a $525 casino bonus. News CategoriesRSS xml feed
