Best Bet

Wests Tigers @ $2.19

Bet Now

The Wests Tigers didn’t have Jarome Luai last week, but they powered to victory over the previously unbeaten Warriors.

It was a fine performance, especially after being down 10-0 before scoring three tries right before half time. That should give them enough confidence to handle the Eels, who were thumped 48-20 by the Panthers last week.

We don’t know what to make of the Eels, who scored wins over Brisbane and St George-Illawarra, but after getting well-beaten by the Panthers, their confidence levels could be down on Easter Monday. The $1.68 odds for the Eels aren’t enticing, so we’re backing the underdog to win.

Same Game Multi

Wests Tigers H2H, Jahream Bula Anytime Try Scorer, Josh Addo-Carr Anytime Try Scorer, Over 47.5 Points @ $8.00

Bet Now

Punters get value odds for Jahream Bula to score a try at $2.25. He’s an exciting player for the Tigers, and he scored an excellent try last week. He is a good NRL multi bet pick to boost payouts.

Josh Addo-Carr pays much shorter odds of $1.50, but he’s worth including in picks. He scored in consecutive games with his blistering pace, and although the odds are short, he should cross the line for a try.

Tries should come freely in a high-scoring game, and they combined for 60 points in their 2025 meeting at CommBank Stadium. Over 47.5 points is a good NRL same game multi bet addition.

Best Value Bet

Wests Tigers 13+ @ $5.40

Bet Now

Punters get big odds for a reason, but the Tigers can beat teams like the Eels by 13+.

They proved that when beating the Warriors by 18 points last week, and that came against a team that was leading the competition.

If the Eels get down early, they can throw in the towel, and with the Tigers playing with confidence, they can pile on the points quickly.

It’s not an easy bet to cash, but it’s worth the risk at the odds.
