Best Bet

Sea Eagles –5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We’re not sure what to make of the Sea Eagles last week, but there were enough positive signs to suggest that they can handle the visiting Knights.

The Knights defeated the Cowboys in Las Vegas, but they lost a key player in Fletcher Sharpe, and that will force them to shift the back line around. That’s not easy to do, and the Sea Eagles should capitalise on their misfortune.

It’s an all too familiar story for the Knights, and the Sea Eagles, who come off a golden point loss to the Raiders, should fancy their chances of posting their first win of the year. They have plenty of attacking players, and the Knights could find it too tough to defend.

Grab the –5.5 line before it moves to –6.5 on game day.

Same Game Multi

Sea Eagles –5.5, Jason Saab Anytime Try Scorer, Tom Trbojevic Anytime Try Scorer, Over 48.5 @ $8.00

Bet Now

One of the fastest players in the NRL is Jason Saab, and he should put that speed to use against the Knights. He can get around most defenders given the room, and he looks to end a try-scoring drought. He’s the $1.73 favourite to score, so include him in NRL multi picks.

We also fancy Tom Trbojevic to score, having scored last week. Tommy Turbo loves scoring tries early in the season, and the $1.84 is a good addition.

It should be an open scoring contest, hence the 48.5-point line. Our final score prediction has the Sea Eagles winning 30-22.

Best Value Bet

Sea Eagles 1-12 @ $3.00

Bet Now

We don’t see the Sea Eagles scoring a blowout win, so there is good value in backing them 1-12 at $3.

The Knights would need to play poorly to lose by 13+ points, especially with Kayln Ponga and Dylan Brown in the team. Therefore, the Sea Eagles should win between 6-10 points, which is enough to cash our best value bet.
