Shorter preview this week due to work commitments!
Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters – Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
I thought the Roosters were actually quite good last week and did everything but win. A lot of drop ball in key areas spoiled what was otherwise a better performance than the narrative suggests. Broncos are due to click, however Roosters are great value and that is where my money will be going.
Suggested Bet: Roosters 1-12 @ $6
Sharks vs Sea Eagles- Optus Stadium, Perth
Garrick has a strong matchup this week against Mawene Hiroti. I particularly like this matchup as the Sea Eagles tend to be much more right dominant when Tom Trbojevic is out, which is favourable for our bet.
Suggested Bet: Garrick ATS, Under 26.5 points first half @ $5.50
Rabbitohs vs Cowboys – Optus Stadium, Perth
The Rabbitohs pulled off a gutsy win last week vs the Roosters, while the Cowboys have been a couple of passes away from a no win start to 2025. The Cowboys conceded the most points to halfbacks in the NRL, so we are getting our money on both halves to score this week.
Suggested Bet: South Sydney -4.5, Jayden Sullivan ATS, Latrell Mitchell ATS @ $18
Eels vs Raiders – TIO Stadium, Darwin
A tough game to call. I expect a Raiders win, but not much screaming out at me in the way of value.
Suggested Bet: N/A
Storm vs Warriors – Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast
Expecting a dominant Melbourne Storm win here, so we are going for the hail mary. Hughes is great form and has been at his slippery best. He has 4 tries in his last 5 games. Shawn Blore has been running decent lines and is bound to be hit by Munster sooner or later, so is a great option at $6.
Suggested Bet: Jahrome Hughes ATS, Shawn Blore ATS, Jack Howarth ATS, Storm -29.5 @ $82
Knights vs Wests Tigers – McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle
To’a has 4 tries in his last 4 games and is a strong option at almost $4 ATS. Ponga has no tries in his last 5 and is overdue to get over the white stripe. Expect points in this one!
Suggested Bet: Starford To‘a ATS, Kalyn Ponga ATS, Over 42.5 points @ $12
