Cronulla Sharks vs St. George Illawarra Dragons – Sharks Stadium
Unfortunately the 9.5 is gone at time of writing but the Sharks off 2 bad losses should lift at home in the derby. Last chance for them to prove they are a legitimate contender knocking on the door of the Top 4, which already looks set in stone.
Nikora is playing his 150th and while he hasn’t scored in his last 4, he has a great strike rate and will be primed for a big game. $2.80 ATS on Sportsbet looks value.
Suggested Bets: Sharks -10.5 @ $1.90 (Dabble) AND Briton Nikora ATS @ $2.80 (Sportsbet)
Gold Coast Titans vs Manly Sea Eagles – CBUS Super Stadium
The Titans have been poor and come into this game understrength. Manly looked dynamite last week but put on a horrible second half display, so think they bounce back from that and also come here at pretty much full strength. The Titans also concede more points to backrowers than any other team, so looking at big Haumole crossing the stripe off the back of DCE.
Suggested Bet: Manly win / Haumole Olakau’atu ATS @ $3.10 (Bet365)
Newcastle Knights vs Sydney Roosters – McDonald Jones Stadium
Roosters are well rested off a bye and the young guys that came in v Cronulla when the Roosters were missing their Origin players stood up for a great performance collectively. The Roosters are now without Walker, but welcome back Whyte and Nat Butcher while there is talk Fletcher Sharpe could be in doubt for Newcastle with Ponga on Origin duties. Those 2 players provide their attacking spark so it’s hard to see Newcastle causing the Roosters too many headaches.
Suggested Bet: Roosters -6.5 @ $1.90 (Neds)
