Important! Please choose correctly, as you can't change the outcome you have picked. If you accidentally picked a wrong outcome, please message us [email protected] and we will correct it. Grading results wrong and not reporting it may cause an account suspension or even permanent ban.
Outcomes:
Draw - Full return in the event that actually happened. (e.g. the wager is returned in an Asian handicap bet)
Void - bet where the wager is returned. There are plenty of reasons why bets are voided, for instance if a match was cancelled, a player did not play etc. A void bet should not be confused with draw (event result = @1) in Asian handicap bets even if both terms result in the same thing, the return of the wager.
1/2 Win - Half the wager is a winning bet and half is a push in an Asian handicap bet.
1/2 Lost - Half the wager is a losing bet and half is a push in an Asian handicap bet.
Team news:
Roosters: Prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (rib) was ruled out after captain's run with Zane Tetevano to start at prop. With Cooper Cronk named to return from a hamstring injury, Luke Keary shifts to five-eighth and Latrell Mitchell to the centres while back-up half Lachlan Lam dropped out of the 21 on Wednesday. Mitchell Aubusson moves from centre back to second row, forcing Angus Crichton to the bench. Victor Radley comes in at hooker for the injured Jake Friend (shoulder). Lindsay Collins and Nat Butcher join the interchange bench.
Broncos: James Roberts (Achilles) is replaced in the centres by Kotoni Staggs. With Matt Lodge returning from suspension at prop, Tevita Pangai jnr shifts back to lock and David Fifita goes to the bench. Gehamat Shibasaki has been promoted to the bench. Shaun Fensom is out of the 17 which lost to the Dragons. Isaiah Perese and Richie Kennar dropped off the reserves list 24 hours before kick-off.
The recipe for this Thursday might not really fill the hearts of fans wanting to see open, flowing rugby league. Add together some forecast rain, a ground that’s seen a lot of traffic in the last fortnight and two hefty forward packs who are more than happy to grind away at each other, and it may not be a contest for the ages.
That said, this is a key game between two clubs with clear intentions for the top four. Brisbane need to win more than the Roosters do, but they’ll fall short away from home as the Chooks do what they need to do.
