The Cowboys are unchanged while the Knights are missing Kalyn Ponga, Bradman Best and Hymel Hunt, but they do get back Blake Green in the halves. The model ranks the Cowboys ahead of the Knights, far enough to bet on the line at -6.

Both teams are too unpredictable at this stage with the Tigers possibly being on the rise, but the Warriors have been relatively good all year, and deserve to be favourites. Update, the Warriors have named Reece Walsh to start at fullback with RTS going to the wing to replace Ken Mamaulo who is out of the game. This means that the Warriors won’t have the 2nd half spark that they had last week, and is a good time to capitalize on a trend that has been happening in games lately, which is the favourite wins the first half comfortably, then drops off to allow the underdog to win the second half but the favourite still wins the game.

The Sharks are unchanged while the Dragons have five additional players out due to injury or suspension in Josh McGuire, Matthew Dufty, Mikaele Ravalawa, Tariq Sims and Tyrell Fuimaono. While the model does have the Dragons above the Sharks, due to the long list of outs for the Dragons and the Players that were already missing like Zac Lomax, the Sharks deserve to be favourites and the line of -6 for the Sharks isn’t too bad as the Sharks are usually a high scoring team, and the with the additional sin bins the game could open up even more.

The Titans are without Herman Ese’ese and Tyrone Peachy, both out due to suspension. The Bulldogs are without Joe Stimson and Tuipulotu Katao but Dylan Napa does make a return. Similarly to the Warriors game we’ll be going after the favourite to win, and the underdog in the second half.

Joseph Suaalii is set to make his debut on the bench for the Roosters, while the Broncos are without Anthony Milford, Corey Oates, Herbie Farnworth and Jordan Riki. Last week the 2nd Half Line bets that we did on the favourites all failed due to the favourite getting too far ahead in the first half then dropping off in the second half, even when they had a good second half record, but the Roosters definitely prefer the second half and the Broncos are the second worst second half team only behind the Raiders, the Roosters are also known keep attacking in the second half when they have comfortably won the first half. So, the second half line of -11.5 doesn’t seem too bad, but bet cautiously.

Both teams are missing players, and both teams prefer the first half. No value on either side.

The Rabbitohs are back to full strength with Latrell Mitchell, Josh Mansour and Campbell Graham coming back into the side, with the Panthers missing Dylan Edwards and Moses Leota. The model does rank the Panthers ahead of the Rabbitohs, but not by far enough to justify $3.60 odds for the Rabbitohs with home ground advantage. Also, just in case that doesn’t hit we’ll go after the same style of multi from the Warriors game and the Titans game, where we bet on the favourite to win the match and the underdog to win the 2nd half line.

Manly are missing Kieran Foran and Cade Cust, while the Eels are unchanged heading into the last match of the round. Again, similarly to the Warriors Tigers game and the Titans Bulldogs game, we’ll go after the Eels to win the game but Manly to win the 2nd half.
