What We Like

After representing the Under-19s NSW Blues last year, forward Jordan Uta has been handed his NRL debut, and newbies always manage to find the try-line when they are competing at home.

Anytime Tryscorer Jordan Uta $6.50

Final Thought

It’s hard to take the Dolphins this week mainly for the fact that they are without five key members of their side due to injury and State of Origin responsibilities.

What We Like

Jacob Kiraz will make his return to the field this week for the Bulldogs and will look to find good form as he attempts to lead the side back into the winning column.

Anytime Tryscorer Jacob KIraz $1.77

Final Thought

The Storm may be without the trio of Cameron Munster, Harry Grant and Trent Loiero, but the Bulldogs are incredibly down on confidence at the moment and don’t look like a team that can win.

What We Like

The Warriors may be without Tanah Boyd who sustained an ACL rupture but the Dragons remain winless and don’t look like getting a victory anytime soon.

Match Result New Zealand Warriors $1.23

Final Thought

After missing out on NSW Blues selection, Warriors front-rower Jackson Ford will look to show Laurie Daley why he deserved to be selected for Origin by crossing the line for a try.

What We Like

The Titans may have struggled to find wins during this year’s campaign but fullback Keano Kini has been one of their best players every week, no matter the result.

Anytime Tryscorer Keano Kini $3.40

Final Thought

Since Kieran Foran took over the head coaching duties he has been able to turnaround the Sea Eagles into one of the best teams in the competition, so expect a large victory this weekend.

What We Like

The primary goal-kicker for the Rabbitohs, Latrell Siegwalt has been in outstanding form since making his debut a couple of weeks ago and isn’t afraid to find the try-line with his silky footwork.

Latrell Siegwalt Points Scored Latrell Siegwalt to Score 8+ Points $1.65

Final Thought

The Rabbitohs are missing several players but they have shown numerous times this season that they perform better when they are the underdogs.
