Best Bet

Warriors -3.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Warriors opened at –4.5, but we’re loving the –3.5 line much better. They showed good heart to win last week, and considering what’s on the line, they should come up with the goods against a tough Eels outfit.

The Eels destroyed the Roosters last week, but the Roosters’ defence is average at best, and the Warriors defend their line much better. They’re also very tough to beat at home, so we have good confidence in the Warriors getting it done.

It could pay to take the –3.5 line as money has come for it since it moved, and it’s one of our more confident bets of Round 26.

Same Game Multi

Warriors -3.5, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck Anytime Try Scorer, Adam Pompey Anytime Try Scorer, Under 43.5 @ $19.50

Bet Now

A reason why the Warriors have been successful this year is because of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, who has been one of the best players in the NRL.

He makes a lot of metres each game, and he has been scoring tries. He owns four tries from his last five games, including a double last week against the Titans, so take the $1.74 odds for the winger to score on Friday.

Punters also get $2.85 for Adam Pompey to score, which is a generous offering. He has three tries from his last two games, and he’s growing in confidence. It won’t be a high-scoring game, but he should go close to scoring another try for the home side.

Best Value Bet

Warriors Halftime/Fulltime @ $2.00

Bet Now

The Warriors aren’t a team that has made comeback wins in 2025. They have an exceptional record when leading at halftime, and we’re backing them to cash the halftime/fulltime line for punters.

It pays $2, which is a fair price, and we expect them to lead at around 12-4 at the half before holding off a late Eels charge.
