World Club Challenge - St Helens vs Brisbane Broncos

St Helens vs Brisbane Broncos

Sorry for the quick post; I'm going to take the under points tonight in the WCC (Saints v Broncos). These sort of affairs are generally tight and low scoring with neither side willing to take too many risks, opting for the 2pts instead of the 6pts.

Furthermore, these sides have arguably the strongest defences the sport has to offer, so I dont expect to see many line-breaks or missed tackles. I expect Brisbane to just come out on top, but Saints are more than capable especially starting the match carrying the underdog tag. For that reason I would leave the handicap & match betting well alone.

The weather in Bolton tonight adds more appeal to the unders....it's dark, drizzily and overcast.....not ideal for free scoring rugby.

Small punt nevertheless

St Helens: Wellens, Gardner, Gidley, Talau, Meli; Pryce, Long, Fozzard, Cunningham, Cayless, Gilmour, Bennett, Wilkin, Roby, Graham, Hargreaves, Moore, Hooper

Brisbane: Hunt; Boyd, Tate, Hodges, Michaels; Lockyer (c), Perry; Carlaw, Berrigan, Civoniceva, Parker, Thorn, Carroll, Thaiday, Eastwood, Hannant, Ennis

Recommendation: Under 40.5pts @ 1.83 sportingodds (1pt)
Prediction - Saints 12 vs 20 Brisbane
(Scale 1 - 5)

Good luck all!!
