Best Bet

Roosters -1.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We expected money to come for the Roosters, and it has. They are now the outright favourites following a 20-4 win over the Sea Eagles, and they should take advantage of playing a Dolphins team without Herbie Farnworth.

Farnworth is their best attacking option, and although they scored a last-second win over the Warriors last week, we were disappointed by the performance of a few players, including Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.

Therefore, with the Roosters needing a win to keep in touch with the Dolphins for the eighth spot on the NRL ladder, they should get it done. They have a physical team, and their defence is good enough to keep the Dolphins at bay.

Same Game Multi

Roosters -1.5, Mark Nawaqanitawase Anytime Try Scorer, Daniel Tupou Anytime Try Scorer, Under 48.5 @ $10.25

Bet Now

After a good start to the year in the try scoring department, Mark Nawaqanitawase has been quiet with four try-less games. However, we’re happy to stick with the Roosters winger, who has a bright future.

Punters get $1.69 for him to score a try, so expectations are high, and our SGM odds are boosted with Daniel Tupou at $1.83. He’s the best aerial threat in the NRL, and he should climb over the Dolphins defence for a try.

Under 48.5 is included in our NRL picks this week. The Dolphins’ offence has taken a bit without Farnworth, and the Roosters are a good defensive team. The final score should be around 22-14, so include the under.

Best Value Bet

Roosters Halftime/Fulltime @ $2.30

Bet Now

We believe the odds for Roosters halftime/fulltime will only shorten throughout the week, so lock in the $2.30 odds.

They typically start the game well defensively before breaking through in the second 20 minutes. Look for the Roosters to hold out an early charge from the Dolphins before taking control before halftime.
