TIGERS v RAIDERS
Even the skinny odds of $1.34 looks good value for the Raiders. I’d carry that as a multi option into any other bets I take. The Tigers’ edge defence has been vulnerable most of this season so a Raiders win into Jed Stuart and Xavier Savage anytime try scorers is $3.30.
WARRIORS v PANTHERS
The Panthers are resting their Origin players this week and the Warriors, playing at home, are barely affected in that area. A tough game to find value, a Dallin Watene-Zelezniak double into a Roger Tuivasa-Sheck double is paying $13 for the hyphen pair.
DOLPHINS v KNIGHTS
The Dolphins are currently on a tear at the moment, averaging more than 50 points a game in their past three games, so taking the over 49.5 in total game score, at $2.10, looks a nice bet. Dolphins at -15.5 into total score +49.5 is paying $3.90.
RABBITOHS v STORM
The question is how well Storm’s Origin players return and if coach Craig Bellamy plans on any late changes. That said, the Rabbitohs have been smashed with injuries and are considerably weaker and expect Melbourne to try to play through them. Nelson Asofa-Solomona is $34 to be first tryscorer.
BRONCOS v SHARKS
Both clubs have struggled for consistency for most of the season so tough to know which version of each will turn up. With that in mind, Cronulla are good value at $2.55 and Wirth a nice bet.
ROOSTERS v COWBOYS
The Cowboys were awful last week without their Origin stars and need a steep turnaround to match the improving Roosters. It’s hard to find anything to like in the Cowboys from a punting point of view. The Roosters halftime-fulltime double into Mark Nawaqanitawase and James Tedesco anytime tryscorers is a handy $4.50.
EELS v TITANS
The Eels are a different team without Mitch Moses, which must be respected, but they are playing at home. And the Titans roared back to form last week. Expect a tense, tight affair. That said, the Eels with +2.5 start, at home, into less than -48.5 points a game is paying $3.30.
