Best Bet

Bulldogs –5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Broncos are hit hard by State of Origin, and although the Bulldogs have many players out, the Broncos are missing Payne Haas and Reece Walsh. They are their two most dynamic players, and we can’t see them covering the spread.

The Bulldogs have revenge on their minds after having their season stopped in its tracks with a 42-18 loss to the Broncos. That was a poor effort, and it came during Origin, but they should have learnt from that performance.

Playing at home helps, and after being beaten by the Panthers 8-6 last week, the Bulldogs know this is a good opportunity to get a win on the board with the finals fast approaching.

Same Game Multi

Bulldogs –5.5, Marcelo Montoya Anytime Try Scorer, Jesse Arthars Anytime Try Scorer, Over 44.5 @ $10.25

Bet Now

It could be another high-scoring contest between the Bulldogs and Broncos. They scored 60 points in their first meeting of 2025, which was played in the rain, so they should feel confident about putting points on the board.

Not having Origin players typically opens the door to allow for a more expansive league, so consider including over 44.5 points in your NRL multis.

Marcelo Montoya and Jesse Arthars are good chances to score. Montoya has three tries over the last three games, and Arthars looks to bounce back after four games without a try, but he’s a classy finisher on his day.

Best Value Bet

Viliame Kikau Anytime Try Scorer @ $3.40

Bet Now

Big Viliame Kikau could power his way through the Broncos’ defence, which could get tired in the second half, and that’s when Kikau goes to work.

He has two tries from his last five games, so scoring tries isn’t unusual, and punters get generous $3.40 for him to score a four-pointer.
