Penrith -19.5 v Brisbane ($1.90)
Penrith have a dominant home record and against a flakey team like Brisbane this has the potential to get ugly. The Panthers have won 19 straight at Penrith Stadium and have covered 19 of 28 at the venue. They have also covered four of five at the ground when favoured by 12.5 or more. Brisbane are a poor road team covering just 11 of 32 away from Suncorp. That includes a 6-15 cover record on the road off conceding 24 or more.

Canterbury v South Sydney ($3.80)
The Bulldogs are not without a chance against South Sydney in what looks a very winnable game for Canterbury. Souths have lost Latrell Mitchell and look desperately staid in attack when he is off the field. The Bulldogs have covered at 60% against Souths the last 15 years so do lift for the Rabbitohs.

Liam Martin Try ($4.50)
The Broncos have conceded four tries to edge backrowers in their last three games so Liam Martin looks good value to score. Martin has scored in three games this year and has a career average of a try just over every four games.
