somehow, i feel some of the NRL games are fixed. personal opinions.

sometimes the team that are favourites will lose by quite a big margin. unexpected results chalks up every 2 weeks.

some may argue that that is the nature of the game. depending on momentum and who starts the game stronger etc. But again, with the pay they are getting and the huge betting market for it, i suspect that sometimes only 10 players (out of 13) are playing for the team.

up to you to decide, but that's my personal opinion once again.

btw, side track, I'll try to do a bit of analysis for each and every game for the world cup. hopefully i can keep it up. meanwhile, take care and 14 days to go!
