South Sydney +6.5 v Penrith ($1.90)
Souths have a tremendous record as an underdog and can be bet in a major revenge game against Penrith this week. The Panthers get Nathan Cleary back this week but still have just nine of the 17 players from last year’s Grand Final available. Souths have covered 9 of their last 12 as an underdog and 21 of 34 off a double digit win. Souths have covered 8 of 12 against the Panthers and can cover this big number.

Will Kennedy Anytime Try ($2.45)
Cronulla fullback Will Kennedy has been a quality tryscorer with 15 tries in his last 27 games and looks to be in a good position to score against the Knights, who were exposed on their edges last week. Rain is forecast in Sydney but this game looks an over affair and Kennedy looks the most likely Shark to cross.

Latrell Mitchell 2+ Tries ($11.00)
Souths fullback Latrell Mitchell has doubles in two of his last seven appearances and will be as geared up for this game as he has been for any opponent following missing last year’s Grand Final through suspension. He can find the tryline and will look to carry the Rabbitohs.
