For those of us who are interested in such things, here's a safe space to discuss your ideas and premonitions. None of this is financial advice. Not even close. But it's a bit of fun for some. Keep it fun and gamble responsibly. Assume your mum is watching.
Each round I'll put my suggestions on this page. You're welcome to celebrate with me if they win, make fun of me when they don't, and add your own suggestions in the comments below. I'll keep a running tally of my results across the season in the interests of transparency. Best of luck to you all.

FANTASTIC!
Thanks for putting this together Thinker.
I think you're off to a good start there with those picks.
I'm going to include Preston for the Bulldogs.
I have a $10 bonus bet so I think I'll combine all four.

Aaaarrrgh!
Both team's won outright and the odds would have been slightly better even!
Ah well , it was only a bonus bet about to expire.

No reward for being so close...sadly.
Looks like you have your eye in though...nice suggestions.
All the best

Big problems with S/Bet right now.
Online sport betting unavailable last hour or so... Horse racing was available though :-(
Called to place my multi over the phone and the young lady's Indian accent was so strong I had to keep getting her to repeat herself (no judgement btw) .
The poor girl couldn't understand me either and with time running out before kick-off I told her "thankyou but don't worry" and redialled.
Got a young man this time (also with a strong Indian accent) and he was also struggling.
He put my two tryscorer selections down as "first tryscorers" and when I corrected him he couldn't find the "anytime tryscorer" markets on any games and kept asking me if the games I was choosing were Live games (at 7:45pm on a Thursday).
Finally got a bet on (without my tryscorer selections) with 90 seconds to spare before Parra kicked off.
Then I had to sit and watch W.Warbrick and H.Grant score tries and my only other selection , W.Penisini get pulled back away from Storm's tryline by Munster!... also Storm to win -5.5.
I did ask the young guy if S/Bet had outsourced their phone betting to India (politely) and he answered that he was in Darwin.
I hope S/Bet are paying their people equally and fairly.
Meanwhile , I will be looking for another betting agency.
