The NRL's setrestartmaxxing era is showing no signs of slowing down, so I decided to look at the value of consecutive play the balls to find out many there are and when points are being scored rugbyleagueeyetest.com/2026/03/23/the…

Interesting ride Newcastle r1…

@antonposa I rarely get under 20 also mate. Today pretty niche some good guesses

A rare sub 20!

$1.1m lost every hour Pokies need to be banned outside of casinos. They are a plague on society. Literally nothing good comes from them. smh.com.au/national/nsw/1…

There’s just something about Jye Gray, funnily enough many years ago at same school carnival he and Izzy Katoa were the clear standouts. Took Jye a bit longer to get there but looks an nrl star, absolutely love watching him play. Natural player with elite competitiveness

Well done to ATC on today's Golden Slipper meeting .Great atmosphere and plenty of punters in the betting ring having a bet .All the good things won but Bookies had their chances .Plenty of owners having a crack on their horses and the ring was able to accommodate them .

@MatthewSteed1 Oh that’s awesome mate glad you had a good day 🙌

@MCruicky Great days racing mate. The first slipper i been to in about 20 years would you believe.

Amazing what happens when Observer actually cops an ounce pressure, been blessed in those Melb G1's walking events. Real racing today.

@MatthewSteed1 Was probably a bit jaded watching last 12 months big faces Sweeney processions. Enjoyed today’s racing at Rosehill thought some great finishes.

@MCruicky True mate. I must admit i backed him thought too wide apart early doors. I assumed he would have led and ran along a bit considering AB never been to trip.

@MatthewSteed1 I suppose I was more referencing the derby (where I laid and did balls lol) and other races in Melbourne where it has to my mug eye been gifted races when no pressure or any sort competitive tactics from other jocks mate. But yeah poss not great ride today sit sprint vs AB

@MCruicky First 1400 in around 1.30 Shank I'd argue there was no pressure. Can't believe how he rode it. Jmac would have been giggling in the run.

@Migmigliore Ok cheers Michael noted.

@MCruicky Did you post this prior? No, so your point of view has zero credibility.

@G1Select Green Spaces same colours looks well on track Derby also

@MCruicky Not out of it in a Derby at 2400 though off that. Reminded me of Mongolian Khan 15'

@pferrari27 ™️

@betangelking the Derby was more blessed. Controlled with no challenges.

@MCruicky Mate I hope everyone who launched in the Aus Guineas realises how lucky they were now. Softest run of all time and Stackhouse taking the leader off the rails to give it the dream run without having to go round a horse.

How wide they going to come in the slipper! Makes it a super interesting tactics race with likely good tempo who can get to right spot in run.

@AnthonyDon_ Mate you need to let Banjora go :) 🤣😉

@jasonsole8 @daveystan1 @zpurton @SkyRacingAU @adrianscig T Clark on 1st emergency so maybe good replacement on standby also

@MCruicky @daveystan1 @zpurton @SkyRacingAU @adrianscig Only if he can get a flight before jockey decs have to be made. So probs not . The issue is getting back for Sundaynot getting here too

Just spoke to @zpurton. Plane is fully booked for him to get to Sydney at this stage for Saturday’s Golden Slipper. Even the world’s best need someone to cancel a ticket! If he can’t get any luck at the bookings we will see him Champs Day 1! @SkyRacingAU @adrianscig

@jasonsole8 @daveystan1 @zpurton @SkyRacingAU @adrianscig ta mate

Round 2 was the first time there have been more set restarts awarded than penalties outside of *that* 2021 season. By just how many may astound you. Plus expected point charts for every game rugbyleagueeyetest.com/2026/03/16/the…
