Round 8 Preview

In the easiest bet of the round, the Warriors are near unbeatable at home in New Zealand, whereas the Titans have yet to win a single game this weekend and are one of the most struggling clubs at the moment.

Sticking with the Warriors, a massive win should be expected from the team and can easily put on the first 50-point performance of the season. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Shaun Johnson are just some of the names that will be incredible in attack for the club.

The Dragons and Roosters always push themselves to the limit during the ANZAC Day clash and have produced some magnificent performances over the year. While an outside chance, extra time is likely to occur with a massive crowd expected, and the players producing their best form.

The last time the two teams faced off against each other on ANZAC Day, the Dragons produced a surprising upset against the Roosters and another victory could be expected from the club.

It is a must-win game for the Rabbitohs, with coach Jason Demetriou facing the axe. Damien Cook and Jai Arrow will re-enter the team as they look to produce a strong showing and earn the two points against the Melbourne Storm.

No matter which team walks away with the victory, the Storm and Rabbitohs will battle it out in the forwards and a close game will occur.

The Manly Sea Eagles often get off to a quick start, but with the Eels needing to win this game to save Brad Arthur from losing his job as head coach, they will be more determined to gain the two points.

As stated before, the Eels are involved in a must-win situation and have more to lose than the Sea Eagles. They also defeated them earlier in the season and will be looking to repeat the honours.

The Wests Tigers may have gotten better this season, but they are no match for a Broncos team that will regain Adam Reynolds, Payne Haas and Brendan Piakura. The game is expected to be a blowout.

With the game expected to be a blowout, multiple tries are expected from both teams – mainly the Broncos.

Continuing their form from the past few weeks, the Panthers have no trouble crossing the try line in the early minutes of the game. With a quality backline and Nathan Cleary back, it is easy to see them get on the scoreboard first.

While the Panthers are all but certain to walk away with the victory and two points, the Cowboys will be looking to keep the end result close within at least two converted tries.

After winning against the Eels last week, The Dolphins showed that they could take it to the next gear and produced an amazing dominant performance without several stars, including Thomas Fleger, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Herbie Farnworth. This week, they will be looking to continue their winning ways and produced another dominant display.

The Dolphins have always gotten off to a quick start to begin the match, and with the way that they played last weekend, the same is near definite. Trai Fuller, Jamayne Issako, and Jake Averillo are just a few names that will be contenders for the first tryscorer.

Surprisingly, despite the Raiders losing against the Sharks the last time they faced, they went into the half-time break in the lead and will be looking to get off to a quick start again this weekend.

Staying with the Cronulla Sharks, the last time the two teams faced each other less than a month ago, the Sharks produced a magnificent second-half showing against the Raiders and would end up defeating them by a large margin. The Sharks have gotten either better over the weeks and are coming off a good showing against the Cowboys.
