The biggest certainties of the weekend. Fiji will win by 60+ against Wales (not sure where you got Samoa from).

I think they will be the surprise package of the competition and may sneak into the semi finals ahead of PNG and Tonga.

My other selections

Australia -56.5. Will murder the frogs
NZ -45.5 against Scotland. Again, the Bravehearts ...[text shortened]... .

I will let you know my tips (doubles trebles etc) on Friday.

Happy punting my friend !!!

Nice tips.

Glad you steered me in the right direction with Fiji.

Now I have to put up or shut up - so we'll see what's in the kitty come Friday.

So what's your thoughts on the games ?

See any standouts (taking the handicap into consideration) ?

I'll put in some suggestions (or non suggestions) tomorrow night after I check on a few things 😉

Aren't you the same guy that was knocking how much pro athletes get paid?

So which is it? more money for (male? ) athletes, or less?

You don't develop talent with money while they are pro.

I feel like I am communicating with someone who has never played a sport, at least not at any serious level.

Oh dear.
So you think spending lots of money training someone will make them s superstar?
Total BS
It might help the below average player.

Why do you assume you are the only poster who has played a sport. You did it low level but you are an expert.

It seems unfair to compare the NFL to other sports in the US.

Average NFL viewership: 15 million
Average NBA (nationally televised) viewership: 1.19 million
Average MLB on ESPN: 996,000
Average NHL on NBC:1.23 million; 336,000 on NBCSN

Average Premier League: 423,000

It seems MLS is the 3rd-most popular soccer league in the US.

It isn't fair because football is so much more popular. When it comes to popularity there is no comparison.

Yeah, now I know you two are just trolls who abuse others then go cry to moderators because you are a subscriber.

If this is part of this site's business model, then I will move on to a chess site.

I'm not privy to the business model but I'm pretty sure it involves attracting subscribers. You've been freeloading on here for 9 years now so it's a safe bet that you will continue to do so.

Watch out........I think Roma just entered the forum. I'll just sit back and watch him destroy you again. Man you had it coming and he certainly delivered. So how was the cooler? Have time to rethink your strategy. Don't be so easily OWNED this time. See if you can provide us with a bit more entertainment before you're banished again.

Have a nice day !!!!!!

I have been warned to leave her alone.
Little lying sissy ran to the mods just because I asked a simple question about some posts she made.

At least we know the truth now.

NOTE. I have made no reference to any player by name but you can guess who the lying crybaby is.

Two can play at that game.

Yes we boot our football all over the place. It's fun for a while until it turns into a squealing little girl. Still laughing at how long it took to have you in the cooler.

Oh Roma, I owe you that lottery ticket. You won easily. I had it down for weeks longer before he would be sin binned. You know your stuff alright. He cracked like a thin shelled egg. You the man !!!
