Best Bet

Raiders @ $2.36

Bet Now

Coming off a bye helps the Raiders, who sit at the top of the NRL Premiership, and that could be enough to beat the Panthers.

Penrith was 12-4 ahead of the Storm last week, but it couldn’t hold on to the win. That was a disappointing result, and the Raiders, with their attacking backline, could score enough points to score a road win.

We didn’t have the Raiders at $2.36 to win this game. An accurate price would have been around $2.05, so we’re snapping up the value. There is more upside with the Raiders, who are playing with confidence, and it’s only the reputation of the Panthers to have them as favourites.

Same Game Multi

Raiders H2H, Xavier Savage Anytime Try Scorer, Brian To’o Anytime Try Scorer, Over 41.5 @ $12.25

Bet Now

Xavier Savage has three tries from his last five games, and we fancy his chances of scoring a try against the Panthers on Friday night.

He is a $2.18 chance to score a try with bookmakers, which is a value price, and it’s slightly better than the $2.03 for Brian To’o. The Panthers winger had one of his worst NRL games last week, so he looks to bounce back in fine style.

We’re also including over 41.5 points in our NRL SGM picks. There are plenty of points in these teams, and it could be a back-and-forth affair. The line is low enough to include it in multi picks as a value bet.

Best Value Bet

Raiders 13+ @ $5.90

Bet Now

Winning by 13+ points on the road against the Panthers won’t be easy, hence the $5.90 odds. However, if there is a team capable of piling on the points, it’s the 2025 Raiders.

They are an explosive team, and although it’s rare to see the Panthers get blown out, they showed concerning signs late against the Storm last week.

It’s a risky bet, but at the odds, we’re happy to include it as our best value bet.
