Best Bet

Wests Tigers –4.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Not much went right for the Tigers last season, which was much of their own doing. However, with that year under their belt, punters should expect more this time around.

They have an exciting team, headlined by Jarome Luai, and if he’s playing at his best, he could run rings around the Cowboys, who didn’t look good in their opening round loss to the Knights.

We’re not sure what to make of the Cowboys. They have a good team on paper, but they haven’t produced much recently. They appear to be down on confidence, and that’s a recipe for disaster in the NRL.

This game is all about the Tigers, and playing at Leichhardt Oval makes them harder to beat. Back them to cover the –4.5 spread.

Same Game Multi

Tigers –4.5, Sunia Turuva Anytime Try Scorer, Jahream Bula Anytime Try Scorer, Under 51.5 @ $11.50

Bet Now

Sunia Turuva went through a dry spell last season, but the flying Fijian is one of the best finishers in the NRL. We’re keeping the faith with the Tigers winger, who is the current $1.68 favourite to score a try.

Punters get better value with Jahream Bula, who is looking to score in his fourth consecutive games. He’s an up-and-coming player for the Tigers, and the $2.18 odds are good enough to boost NRL same game multi bets.

The current points total line is higher than expected. We predict the Cowboys struggling to score points, and our final score prediction has Wests winning 32-14.

Best Value Bet

Wests Tigers 13+ @ $2.75

Bet Now

The Tigers are a team capable of blowing teams off the field, and the Cowboys are a team that can give up easily.

We expect that to happen on Saturday afternoon, and if the Tigers score early in the game, they could thrive on the momentum to score a comfortable win.

Winning by 13+ points is well within their reach, and punters get value $2.75 odds.
