Best Bet

Storm –14.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Storm have a 32-13 all-time advantage over the Cowboys, which is reflected by the –14.5 line. They are firm favourites to win and cover the spread, and after beating the Titans 28-16 two weeks ago, they are about to start showing their true ability.

There’s no doubting that the Storm have the most talented team in the NRL. Recent performances have not been good, so this is a statement game from the pre-season NRL premiership favourites. They dropped their last two games to the Cowboys, so it’s also a redemption game.

Playing at home helps, and we’re picking the Storm to show why they’re still our picks to win the NRL premiership.

Same Game Multi

Storm –14.5, Xavier Coates Anytime Try Scorer, Ryan Papenhuyzen Anytime Try Scorer, Over 51.5 @ $5.00

Bet Now

We’re not going for a massive payout with our Storm vs. Cowboys same game multi picks, but it has a good chance of cashing for punters.

Xavier Coates and Ryan Papenhuyzen should get ample opportunities to score, and with Coates coming off a three-try performance, he’s starting to show why he’s still one of the premier wingers in the competition.

Papenhuyzen scored four tries in one game before going scoreless in his last two games. He needs to turn things around, but the $1.57 odds are worth including in multis. He won’t get a better chance to get back on the try-scorers list.

They combined for 68 points last year and 65 points in 2023, so over 51.5 is the logical pick. It should be a free-flowing contest, and the Storm should pull away it the second half with a try barrage.

Best Value Bet

Nick Meaney Anytime Try Scorer @ $3.05

Bet Now

Nick Meaney is another Storm player who could find his name on the try-scorers list. He looked good when scoring in consecutive games before failing to score against the Titans, and he’s likely to get back to scoring form.

Meaney is a confidence player, and we expect the Cowboys defence to get tired in the second half. That’s when Meaney could strike, and getting $3.05 is better than expected.
