Wests Tigers vs Raiders
The Tigers return to Leichhardt Oval looking to bounce back after a narrow loss, and they’ve shown enough in recent weeks to suggest they’re one of the more improved sides this season. Their attacking structure has been sharp, and at home they tend to lift another level. The Raiders have shown patches of form but remain inconsistent, especially with key absences affecting their balance. With the Tigers rated strongly and expected to control field position, they look well placed to take advantage.
Selection:
Wests Tigers -5.5 – $1.90
Cowboys vs Sharks
The Cowboys were brought back to earth last week after a heavy defeat, raising questions about their consistency against quality opposition. The Sharks come in fresh off a bye and rate well across the board, particularly with their forward pack and game management. Despite the travel factor, Cronulla look the more reliable side and should be able to control the tempo in what shapes as a physical contest.
Selection:
Sharks -2.5 – $1.90
Broncos vs Bulldogs
Brisbane showed resilience in their last-start win and continue to grind out performances despite injury disruptions. The Bulldogs, on the other hand, were disappointing in defeat last week and struggled to contain opposition attacks. Back at Suncorp, the Broncos should be able to dictate terms again, with their spine providing enough class to edge this matchup.
Selection:
Broncos -1.5 – $1.90
Dragons vs Roosters
The traditional ANZAC clash adds another layer to this matchup, but the Roosters come in with far superior form and attacking firepower. The Dragons are dealing with off-field disruption and a coaching change, which can sometimes spark a response, but they still look outclassed. The large line gives them a chance to stay competitive, especially with the emotion of the occasion.
Selection:
Dragons +16.5 – $1.90
Warriors vs Dolphins
The Warriors have been dominant when playing their preferred style and return home full of confidence after a strong win. The Dolphins face a tough turnaround after a demanding game in the heat, which could impact their energy levels. With crowd support and momentum on their side, the Warriors should be able to control the game and cover the line.
Selection:
Warriors -5.5 – $1.90
Storm vs Rabbitohs
Melbourne’s losing streak is uncharacteristic, but they’ve been competitive in patches and now face a crucial turning point in their season. The Rabbitohs have the firepower to trouble them, but backing against the Storm at home — especially in a must-win scenario — is always risky. Expect a fired-up response from Melbourne in a tight contest.
Selection:
Storm -2.5 – $1.90
Knights vs Panthers
Penrith continue to show why they’re one of the benchmark teams in the competition, grinding out wins even when not at their best. The Knights have been inconsistent and struggled defensively in key moments, which is a concern against a Panthers side that thrives on pressure. Class should prevail here, even away from home.
Selection:
Panthers -10.5 – $1.90
Sea Eagles vs Eels
Manly have been building nicely with strong recent performances, especially at home where they play with confidence. The Eels produced an upset last week but remain difficult to trust week-to-week. With injuries affecting their depth, the Sea Eagles look better positioned to take control and continue their run.
Selection:
Sea Eagles -9.5 – $1.90
