Best Bet

Cowboys –1.5 @ $1.85

We initially liked the Rabbitohs to win, but after losing Walker, Jamie Humphreys, and Mikaele Ravalawa to injury during the week, we couldn’t back them to win. Instead, we’ll take the Cowboys at –1.5, after they have shown recent improvement to beat the Raiders and Panthers.

It was an ominous start to the year for North Queensland after losses to the Sea Eagles, Sharks, and Broncos. However, they turned it around and they have a 2-0 recent record against the Souths, which bodes well.

Getting back Reuben Cotter helps their chances, and with the likes of Tom Dearden and Jason Taumalolo playing well, the Cowbous could be a team worth following over the next few weeks.

Same Game Multi

Cowboys –1.5, Murray Taulagi Anytime Try Scorer, Alex Johnston Anytime Try Scorer, Total Match Points Under 49.5 @ $15.00

It could pay to jump on the –1.5 line for the Cowboys. It has been heavily backed, and it could move to –2.5 during the week. Despite the Rabbitohs and Cowboys boasting plenty of try scorers, we’re including under 49.5 in our same game multi picks.

The Rabbitohs could be kept to around 2-3 tries, which could see a final score line of 28-18 to the Cowboys. The 49.5 line is generous, and we would have been happy to include under 46.5 in our multi.

Murray Taulagi has been in fine try scoring form, scoring four tries from his last three games. He grabbed a double last week, so expect more of the same in Perth. Alex Johnson returns from injury and he’s a try scoring freak. He scored in his return before getting injured scoring that try, but he knows how to find the line.

Johnson is a $1.79 chance to score, and we’re confident he’ll score for the Rabbitohs.

Best Value Bet

Scott Drinkwater Last Try Scorer @ $11.00

We don’t often take a last try scorer bet, but Scott Drinkwater has a habit of scoring late in the game, and the odds are too juicy to overlook.

Punters get $11 for Drinkwater to cross for the final try of the game, and if the Cowboys are already well ahead, that increases his chances. He’s not always the best player under pressure, but when his team is ahead and cruising, he loosens up and plays his best footy.
