Jeepers mate, that's ballzy, good luck.

Come on Bren, thats throwing it away. I hate FTS betting, there is so many better options available.

What bookie do you go with bro? I aint never seen a betslip like that

fuck me, thats gotta hurt. even though i'm usually a fan of 'let it ride', i hope you hedged on the last leg haha.

No hedge

i was on the roosters as well.

i'm convinced if that long range try in the second half was allowed, the roosters would have won 13+

jarryd hayne, i realise many people might not agree with him being selected, but it seems like the path has been set up for him?

"The Fiji Rugby Sevens team reached out to me about the opportunity to join the team for the upcoming Olympics, and I simply could not pass that chance up," he said.

he is paying $4 to be selected

the coach: "I have no promises he is going to make the 12 [for Rio], but we will see how he goes," he said. "He will then come into Fijian camp for the Olympic period.". diplomatic as you'd need to be, but yeah.

Hayne applied for the Fijian passport- through his father’s heritage - a month ago, after discussing the Olympic option with Fijian officials at the Sydney Sevens tournament in early February.

anyway, have taken souths -4.5 against hte dragons. i think they continue from where they finished off last week and beat hte dragons by a comfortable margin

other thoughts, cowboys probably beat us & the titans +11.5 looks tempting with peats coming in. not real sure on the rest of the games atm.

Hayne to be selected is money for jam.

i threw 100 on it.

they've moved it in to $3 now

It went to a trader when I put my bet on so I doubt it will stay at $3 for long.

did they accept? still showing $3.

Yep, though it was going to get knocked back to $2.80 for sure

It it just making the 12 thats means selected ?

I cant make heads or tails of this weeks nrl, looks like a large lotto draw to me.

Where is everyone betting on Hayne to play origin? Cant see shit.

its for the olympic squad, on sportsbet

the wording is "Jarryd Hayne To Make Final Fiji Olympic Squad In 2016?", so i believe thats the '12'.

the squad in london for this weekend has 14 players including hayne.

Gidday mate, that quote is misleading because it can be read that they "reached out to him" very recently. I posted somewhere else, but said "reach out" was a long time ago. I apologise that I can't recall exactly when but it was either 1 or 3 years ago. My hunch was that it was actually three years ago... Regardless, that makes a lot more sense because a year would have given Hayne enough time to get settled, as it turns out Hayne approached them 3 months ago and then a month ago he applied for his Fiji passport.

Anyway my point is if you understand the timeline I think the odds of him playing at Rio make a bit more sense.

Also, and apologies I can't find the link, but reading the body language of Ben Ryan during his press conference I was less convinced Hayne will play. But thats just my opinion.

no worries, cheers. makes sense. am on it anyway so i guess we'll see how it goes
