Best Bet

Sea Eagles 1-12 @ $2.85

Bet Now

The current line for the Sea Eagles is –6.5, but we’re not confident in taking it. Therefore, because we’re picking the Sea Eagles to win outright, the best value is with a 1-12 margin. Punters get $2.85 odds, and that’s tough to turn down.

They should win the game despite not having Cherry-Evans. Luke Brooks is good enough to control the middle of the park for the visitors, and Jake Arthur slots into halfback, and he’s a fair replacement.

The Eels have struggled without Moses, which is why they’re underdogs. However, they still have the experience of Dylan Brown and Josh Addo-Carr, so they’re good enough to keep the game close.

Same Game Multi

Sea Eagles H2H, Jason Saab Anytime Try Scorer, Tom Trbojevic Anytime Try Scorer, Over 46.5 @ $5.50

Bet Now

Jason Saab continues to be a gold mine for try scorer backers. The Sea Eagles flyer has five tries in his last five games, including a double against the Cowboys last week, which was an excellent performance from the winger.

Punters get $1.71 odds, and although he’s short, he should get on the board. Teammate Tom Trbojevic could return get on the board. The captain has been through some injury problems, but he loves to snipe a try. He’s a $1.90 chance to cross for a four pointer, and he’s worth including in NRL same game multi predictions.

It should be a high scoring game, so include over 46.5. They scored 38 points when meeting earlier this season, but they scored 50 points last year, and with more games under their belt, we expect it to be a free-flowing contest.

Best Value Bet

Kelma Tuilagi Anytime Try Scorer @ $5.60

Bet Now

Kelma Tuilagi goes under the radar as a try scorer, but the Eels player has two tries from his last five games, including one last week against the Knights.

The second rower can crash over the line from close range, and given his taste for scoring tries, he could keep that trend going on Friday.

Punters get $5.60, so he qualifies as a value bet.
