Best Bet

Storm 1-12 @ $2.85

Bet Now

We’re picking the Storm to win the game, and they should based on last week’s win. However, it should be a close contest against a Sharks team coming off consecutive wins.

The Sharks have four wins from their last five games, with their only loss coming to the Wests Tigers, but they’re not playing as well as the Storm. Melbourne beat the Tigers 64-0 last week in one of the more dominant NRL wins in recent history.

Getting $2.85 for the Storm 1-12 is an excellent price, and it’s the best bet for the featured Saturday game. We pick the Storm to win by 8-12 points, and although Storm –4.5 is a safer bet, it eliminates them winning by 2-4 points, which is a possibility.

Same Game Multi

Storm H2H, Ryan Papenhuyzen Anytime Try Scorer, Ronaldo Mulitalo Anytime Try Scorer, Over 46.5 @ $7.25

Bet Now

Ryan Papenhuyzen was in fine try-scoring form last week, scoring the first three tries in their win over the Tigers. It was a clinic, and he ended the game with four tries. Therefore, getting $1.70 to score one try is a good price.

We also fancy Ronaldo Mulitalo to score. He started the season slowly, but with three tries from his last three games, including a double against the Sea Eagles, he’s back to his best form. He’s a confidence player, and the Sharks are playing good rugby league, which he’s the beneficiary of.

Over 46.5 is included in our Sharks vs. Storm same game multi. They scored 47 points in their 2024 meeting, and we expect a similar score. The final score could be around 30-20 in the Storm’s favour, so include over and Storm head-to-head in multis.

Best Value Bet

Ryan Papenhuyzen First Try Scorer @ $7.50

Bet Now

It’s hard to bet against Papenhuyzen scoring the first try considering he scored the first three last week. That was a fine performance, and he’s always hunting around the ruck for an opportunity to cross for a four pointer.

Strong money has come for the Storm fullback to cross first, and the $7.50 odds are worth including in first try scorer picks.
