Not the results we were after!
Favourites have dominated in recent weeks. With just two upsets last round, favourites are now at 62% for the season but interestingly away plus is the leading category.

NRL ROUND 13 PLAYS:
1. Newcastle (-14.5) vs Parramatta
2. Roosters (-1.5) vs Melbourne
3. Brisbane (-19.5) vs St George
4. Canberra (-4.5) vs Cowboys
4 plays all at the minus. Perhaps a return to the set restarts?
We got a β .
No doubts Qld win with 13 players despite Blues improved 2nd half. Blues had 12 more sets with the ball and won in last minute.
Credit where it is due. Blues bench rotation was effective and Cleary went after the game and nailed it.

ORIGIN 1 PLAY:
- Qld have a better balanced team with high work rate backrowers combined with a brilliant attacking spine plus a genuine tryscorer with the Hammer
- New halves combo for Blues a concern added pressure on Cleary
- Qld won at this venue last game
QLD (+2.5)

Short round and short of wins!
Banking wins during Origin crucial for back end positions. Dolphins, Manly and Cowboys wins with key outs is a credit to how they are travelling at the moment.

Not so much magic!
7 out of 8 big winning margins and just the one upset for Magic Round plus some injuries to key men. Now we get to look forward to a disrupted comp for next 6 weeks for origin β¦.. yay!

#NRL has eclipsed an average of 50 points per match over the opening 10 rounds (80 games) of a season for the first time in the game's 118-year premiership history.
While the average margin in games has reached 17.9 points.
π 50 point touch footy with blow out lopsided result margins.
And tv and streaming now being turned off in droves after half time..
Remember this as you read or listen to those drowning in drinking the kool aid this week..

All square. No damage.
Another six 13+ results and thats 61% for the year! Say that out loud!
Current top 4 after 10 rounds may well be the same teams after Round 27. Would be surprised if any dropped out.

Back to earth with a thud! Good start then β¦..
Roosters poor past record against top 4 teams but have beaten Souths and Brisbane this year. Only bogeys Panthers and Storm remain. Must be a contender.
Round 9 - 6 games 13+

A little chuckle reading the @dailytelegraph article by @brentread_7 with @NRL supplying stats supporting game is slower. Ball in play time down, fewer tackles and play the balls. Of course, more tries results in all of the above! As they say stats are like bikiniβs π

Big winning round with NZW being the only blemish not covering line.
More big scores including two 80 point games. 13+ margins now at 58%. Just wow!
