Oh i've given a very clear firm definition including exactly how many games each side will win for the first half of the season.

As ive said winning one game in a full half of the season is not my definition of competitive in any competion, nor would it be for any other sports fan or expert.

If you're not willing to bet these teams cant win more than 1 misely game against an opponent in the top (cough) 14 for the entire 1st half of the season then you really dont think much of GC Melb Brissy and GWS now do you Xman?

Your unwillingness to take this bet on says all i need to know xman!

To clarify its not - "win two games against teams above them by round 12" - Its two games against anyone other than GWS, GC, Brissy or Melb by round 12.

So at present after 3 rounds we have the scoreline at

GWS - 0
GC - 0
Melb - 0
Brissy - 0

One of these teams must get to two wins by round 12.

Excellent. And Xman you know the avatar bet and 10 dumbarse points is the wager? So the winner gets to choose the avatar of choice for 3 months and can choose up to 5 avatars in that time period.

Great to see you standing up here Xman. This should be entertaining.

Ah no im sorry but you already took the bet and we have it there for all witnesses to see. Everyone knows once a bet is on you cant back out of it.

On a side note, I never even bothered to look at the schedule, I'm that confident. But given the thrashing collingwood received recently surely you;re in with a shot with brissy? And what about melb? You said they werent an uncompetitive basketcase too. Chin up xman there's always a chance. As i said the sun shines out of a skunks butt sometimes.

Thanks for taking on the bet earlier anyway mate. It will be fun.

No that's not the bet. As i said the sun shines out skunks asses every now and then. Uncompetitive is the current state of affairs with all four of these teams copping hidings to nothing and none of them winning 1 match other than against another basketcase. I've been stating uncompetitive as 'they belong in a lower division' all along. And you dont agree with me. Now belonging in a lower division to me is nicely reflected in the bet i offered. That by mid season, if it wasnt for their games against eachother, each of the basketcases would have no more than 1 win to their names. So far they all have none, I'm looking the goods. :D

Those basketcases must sure be happy there's 3 others just like em in the comp. Otherwise they'd stick out like dogs balls and probably be pushed out of the comp quickly. In numbers comes some safety but unfortunately there's a flip side. The quality of the comp is poor now, too many teams and the skilled players are not spread evenly. I bet Demetriou is by his bed each night [-o< [-o< [-o< for things to change because the state of things now are...woeful. The worst state of competition i've ever seen in any professional sporting comp.

So this doesn't apply to the NRLs bottom teams?

Ahhh no, we were still deciding terms. No deal for you. You obviously saw their draw made the bet impossible.

Brisbane I was confident with now Brown is back. They' would have won a few in Brisbane but not against wce collingwood and Geelong. They'll beat the suns giants and Melbourne but that obviously doesn't count. This makes the bet impossible!

Cheating bastard!

Wrong again XMAN , the NRL has been a very close comp for the last few years and is getting even closer. Here is a couple of facts for you:

Penrith are coming 3rd last and got beaten by the sharks (who are 3rd) in extra time 2 weeks ago, I think they will be the wooden spooners this year, but are still being competitive.

The Titan's are coming second last and have had two wins this year. The first was a 18-0 win against the Cowboys who are coming 4th and the second against manly at brookvale were very few sides win.

Parramatta are coming last and were beaten by one try today against Cronulla who are 3rd and two weeks ago had there first win against Manly who are 8th.

There are two wins between 2nd last and 4th place. If your comp is even close to that after 7 rounds come and speak to me.

Fair points. Shame it hasn't translated to better crowds. They've decreased almost every year for the last 6! Seems the low scoring may help keep the comp even but some people are finding it all very dull.

Oh im the cheating bastard says the bloke who confirms his bet, pays his money to the cashier and then takes a second look at his betting ticket and, with tears welling in his eyes screams "no fair, i might losey this betty"

Xman once again, your credibility is completely dusted. please for your own sake stop sobbing and deal with the bet you agreed to. Seriously i reckon youre a fairly good chance, dont let my confidence sway you mate. What ever happened to your responses to me regarding this bet which were along the lines "you have nfi!" and "you think you know this after 2/3 rounds of footy!" "you're a fool!" ???? ???? ????
