SATURDAY NRL BOOMS

Boom Best
Under 45.5 New Zealand v St George Illawarra ($1.90)
The under looks an outstanding play in this one with these two having a history of low-scoring games. Nine of the last 11 meetings have failed to break 38 points with these two averaging 36.0 points since 2008. The under has hit in 10 of 11 Warriors night games and they are missing their best attacking weapon. 
Boom-o-meter: 90%

Boom Value
Margin: Sydney Roosters 30+ Points ($4.60) v Newcastle
The Roosters have a very strong recent history of thumping the Knights and the gap between these two in 2022 looks immense. The Roosters have covered 16 of 23 at the SCG and have won their last four against Newcastle by a margin of at least 20 points. The Knights ranked bottom two in scoring last year and now look to have a worse attack while the Roosters get star Luke Keary back. 
Boom-o-meter: 70%

Boom Boom
Angus Crichton First Tryscorer ($18)
Edge backrower Angus Crichton has become a quality tryscorer with 14 tries in his last 35 games. The Roosters played the Knights twice last year and Crichton scored in each of those comfortable wins. 
Boom-o-meter: 20%
