Best Bet

Eels @ $2.02

Bet Now

Money has come for the Eels to win outright, and we’re not surprised. They might have lost their last two games against the Sharks and Dolphins, but they were competitive, and a touch unlucky not to win at least one of those games.

Despite beating the Rabbitohs 30-4 in Round 9, we’re not convinced by the Knights. They gave away a big lead when losing to Gold Coast last week, and that loss could have a flow-on effect against the Eels on Friday.

There are more points in the Eels, who scored a 38-22 win over the Wests Tigers, and they could produce something similar. Therefore, take the $2.02 head-to-head odds, in what should be an exciting game to kick off Round 11.

Same Game Multi

Eels H2H, Josh Addo-Carr Anytime Try Scorer, Dylan Brown Anytime Try Scorer, Over 46.5 @ $11.00

Bet Now

There could be plenty of points scored in this game, despite the Knights struggling on offence earlier in the year. They scored 60 points combined when meeting last year, which followed 55 points in 2023. Therefore, over 46.5 is a good statistical bet to include in NRL same game multis.

We have Josh Addo-Carr and Dylan Brown as our try scorers. Addo-Carr didn’t score last week but he went close. That followed four consecutive games where he scored a try, and he scored two tries against the Sharks and Tigers.

Boosting multi payouts is Brown, who has three tries from his last four games. The playmaker has a knack of finding the line, and punters get $3.15 for the departing Eels player to score against his future Knights team.

Best Value Bet

Mat Croker Anytime Try Scorer @ $9.50

Bet Now

When you think of try scoring options, Mat Croker doesn’t come to mind, hence the $9.50 odds. However, the Knights prop scored a try against the Titans last week, and he could power his way over the line.

It’s likely to come late in the game when defences are tired, but given the value odds, he’s worth having a bet on, and it would make for a good storyline.
