What We Like

The Manly Sea Eagles have been extremely disappointing this season and have yet to win a single match – their only points have come from a bye. Now taking on the Roosters, don’t be surprised if their losing streak continues even through they are playing at home.

Match Result Sydney Roosters $1.47

Final Thought

For the first time in his 17-year NRL career, Daly Cherry-Evans will take on his former club and it’s hard not to see him crossing over the line for a try at his former home venue.

What We Like

No one has been more impressive this season than Jackson Ford who leads the Dally M leaderboard. The forward has also scored tries in back-to-back weeks.

Anytime Tryscorer Jackson Ford $4.75

Final Thought

The Warriors have been in incredible form lately and sit in first place on the NRL ladder. Meanwhile, the Tigers will be without stars Jarome Luai and Taylan May.

What We Like

Since joining the competition, the Dolphins have only recorded one victory against the Brisbane Broncos. However, expect it to be an even match with four of the six games being decided by ten points or less.

Margin Brisbane Broncos 1-12 $3.05

Final Thought

One of the NRL’s best centres, Kotoni Staggs has scored three tries in his past two matches including three tries in his past two games against the club’s inner-state rivals.

What We Like

Two tries away from making it 50 career tries, Knights centre Dane Gagai has five tries in his past three matches at the venue of Accor Stadium.

Anytime Tryscorer Dane Gagai $5.60

Final Thought

The Knights are a different team without Kalyn Ponga and have lost their past 11 matches when they have been without the star State of Origin fullback.
