Best Bet

Wests Tigers +9.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Tigers looked good when beating the Sharks and Dragons in consecutive weeks, but they left themselves down with losses to the Storm and Rabbitohs, being outscored 86-12.

That’s not a good look, especially when taking the +9.5 line. However, we’re keeping the faith with the Tigers and hoping the senior players like Jarome Luai and Terrell May step up. Losing Lachlan Galvin isn’t ideal, but they’ve played well without him this year.

There was a lot of hype around the Tigers early on, so we’re happy to stick with them, especially as the Cowboys have overperformed to this point. A close game is expected on Saturday, so take the Tigers with the points.

Same Game Multi

Tigers +9.5, Sunia Turuva Anytime Try Scorer, Robert Derby Anytime Try Scorer, Over 49.5 @ $9.25

Bet Now

History suggests a high-scoring game is on the horizon. They scored totals of 78 and 70 points in two meetings last week, which is an excellent form guide. There are plenty of points with these teams, and defence typically takes a backward step.

Looking to score a try is Sunia Turuva, who we include in our NRL same game multi picks most weeks. The Fijian winger has only two tries from his last five games, but he’s a prolific try scorer at his best, and he should cross for a try at $2.05 odds.

Robert Derby isn’t a household name, but he has quietly gone about his business. He has six tries from his last four games, which is an excellent record, so include his $1.64 odds in multis.

Best Value Bet

Wests Tigers Halftime Winner @ $2.80

Bet Now

This is a big game in the context of the Tigers season, so we’re picking them to come out firing on all cylinders on Saturday.

Starting well is crucial to their success, and sometimes it takes the Cowboys 40 minutes to find their best footy. Therefore, getting $2.80 for the Tigers to lead at halftime is too generous to pass up.
