Paul Kent Round 5 tips and Specials

DOLPHINS v PANTHERS
Penrith have lost their identity and its hard to know where they are. Dolphins with the start, playing at Suncorp, is a good bet given everybody is still unconvinced the Panthers have figured out their problems.
DRAGONS v TITANS
Tino Fa’asuamaleaui’s suspension makes what should have been an easy upset bet into a tough one. With Tino out and the Dragons playing at Wollongong, where they are much more formidable, tips it the Dragons way.
BRONCOS v ROOSTERS
The Roosters have made changes but it won’t be enough. They are well down on what we remember the Roosters to be. Even the +15.5 start is not enough. Brisbane should put a score on them, getting away late.
SHARKS v SEA EAGLES
Good sides don’t lose two in a row at home and the Sharks are a good team. On top of that, spin it any way you want, Manly win 3 out of 10 when Tom Trbojevic is out. Even a strong Manly performance won’t be enough. Sharks halftime-fulltime double.
RABBITOHS v COWBOYS
Bit of a bet in the dark this game, as how will the Rabbitohs new halves pairing aim up? The bookies have got it right, but the start is skinny. I like the Cowboys as a safe bet, but tough to bet with confidence. Good game for try scorer bets to find some value. Look for the Cowboys edges.
EELS v RAIDERS
Raiders are just too fast around the field, too fit and playing full of energy. Couple that with Parra losing Zac Lomax and the
STORM v WARRIORS
The Storm stay in the graft for too long for the Warriors to be a winning threat but traditionally they do have a solid go at the Storm. Warriors with start is a nice bet. They seem to have refound their commitment.
KNIGHTS v TIGERS
Knights are hard to beat at home and should have too much on the Tigers. I’m wary of tipping a round full of near favourites given the upsets over the first quarter of the competition but round six is about the time form begins to level out.
