Best Bet

Sharks -5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

After posting four consecutive wins over the Cowboys, Rabbitohs, Roosters, and Dolphins, the Sharks have got back into finals contention.

It wasn’t looking good for a minute there, but they showed just how good they can be last week, and the Dragons could be in for a rude awakening on Saturday afternoon.

The Dragons come off an upset win over the Raiders, which was a great performance, but consistency hasn’t been their strength. They also lost 30-18 to the Sharks in June, and we can’t see them turning that around.

We recommend taking the Sharks –5.5 as money is coming for them. The line could move to –6.5 on game day.

Same Game Multi

Sharks -5.5, Ronaldo Mulitalo Anytime Try Scorer, Sione Katoa Anytime Try Scorer, Under 47.5 @ $10.25

Bet Now

Just when the Sharks needed him to step up, Ronaldo Mulitalo has risen to the occasion with three tries from his last two games. He took some time to regain his best form, but he’s a confidence player, so he could kick on with it.

Sione Katoa has only one try recently, but he’s a strong runner close to the line, and the Dragons defence is known to give up late in the game. He could cross for a second half try, and punters get $1.82 to include in NRL same game multis.

Under 47.5 goes into the mix because we can’t see the Dragons scoring a big total. They could be tired after an emotional win last week, so expect a low-scoring contest.

Best Value Bet

Ronaldo Mulitalo First Try Scorer @ $8.50

Bet Now

Looking to keep his fine try-scoring run alive is Mulitalo, who always plays his best footy when the Sharks are winning.

He’s not the best player to back when the Sharks struggle, but after four straight wins, he’s found his scoring prowess.

Look for him to scorch the Dragons’ defence on the wing to score the opening try at $8.50 odds.
