Under 39.5 Bulldogs-Panthers ($1.90)
The Panthers are a huge under team when they are away from Panthers with the under hitting in 38 of their last 52 trips away from their traditional home. The under is also 22-11 when Penrith are off a double digit win. The under is 15-7 when Canterbury are an underdog of 14 or more points. Points are going to be very hard to come by.

Cronulla 13+/Penrith 13+ ($2.20)
Cronulla and Penrith should each have little problem with significantly inferior opposition. The Sharks have won 7 of 8 against the Tigers and have covered 9 of 12 off a win. In the last three Panthers-Bulldogs clashes, Penrith have won by a combined 100-4.

Siosifa Talikai 2+ Tries ($6.00)
Talikai was an absolute beast in the centres last week when completely terrorising the Knights. Talikai busted eight tackles, scored a try and ran for nearly 200m. That is going to cause all kinds of issues for a Tigers team that has the worst defence in the NRL and goes into this as 17.5-point underdogs.
