Best Bet

Panthers @ $2.21

Bet Now

The Panthers have grinded their way back to a top eight spot after beating the New Zealand Warriors without their State of Origin players last week.

It was a gutsy performance from the second-string team, and they should be tough to beat against the Bulldogs on Thursday, despite the Bulldogs leading the competition. The Panthers are 2-0 against the Bulldogs in their last two games, which adds to their appeal.

Having beaten the Eels, Wests Tigers, and Warriors in the last three weeks, the Panthers are back to their best, and they’re going to be trouble for the top-rated teams. Getting $2.21 is a good price from bookmakers, so it’s our best bet.

Same Game Multi

Panthers H2H, Brian To'o Anytime Try Scorer, Marcelo Montoya Anytime Try Scorer, Over 42.5 @ $12.25

Bet Now

Brian To’o comes off a massive Origin performance, and he could carry that try-scoring form over to NRL level. He hasn’t been at his try-scoring best in 2025 for the Panthers, but there is still time for him to make an impact on the wing.

Getting $2.08 for him to score a try is a good price with NRL odds, and it’s just shorter than Marcelo Montoya to score at $2.10. He has three tries from his last two games, so we’re sticking with the in-form player at value odds.

Over 42.5 points is worth including in NRL same game multis. They combined for only 26 points last year, but they scored 62 in 2023, and we expect an open contest with plenty of tries.

Best Value Bet

Panthers 1-12 @ $3.15

Bet Now

We expect the Panthers to win the game outright, but we can’t see them winning by more than two converted tries.

It should be a close game throughout, where the lead doesn’t get higher than 10 points, and it could come down to which team plays better in the final 10 minutes.

Getting $3.15 for a Panthers 1-12 victory is too juicy to turn down.
