Roosters –9.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Roosters have a 28-14-1 advantage over the Eels, and with the Eels coming off a loss to the Rabbitohs, we’re taking the Roosters –9.5.

They have come back into finals contention with three consecutive wins over the Bulldogs, Dolphins, and Sea Eagles. They combined for 96 points in their last two games, so there is every chance of covering the –9.5 spread against the struggling Eels.

Parramatta hasn’t shown much consistency, and playing for pride isn’t always easy. If the Eels go down early, they could give up easily in the second half. That’s why we’re backing the Roosters to score a comfortable victory.

Same Game Multi

Roosters -9.5, James Tedesco Anytime Try Scorer, Robert Toia Anytime Try Scorer, Over 48.5 @ $10.00

Bet Now

With Daniel Tupou out of action for the Roosters, look to James Tedesco and Robert Toia to take charge in the try-scoring department.

Tedesco scored two tries when beating the Dolphins, and he should get plenty of chances to slice through the Eels’ defence. Punters get $2.10 for the Dally M contender, who could have another big performance.

Toia isn’t a noted try scorer, but he’s a quality player, and he should want to score an overdue try at $2.50. That’s a fair price from bookmakers, and he boosts our NRL SGM odds.

Over 48.5 is included based on how well the Roosters offence is playing. Scoring points hasn’t been a problem, so it should be a high-scoring game.

Best Value Bet

James Tedesco First Try Scorer @ $11.00

Bet Now

Senior players often step up when needed, and Tedesco could get the job done with the opening try on Saturday night.

He is playing aggressively, and he could finish off a long range try from the other side of halfway. That’s where he’s at his dangerous best, so take the $11 odds with bookmakers.
