Wests Tigers +8.5 ($1.87)
South Sydney’s price is ridiculous here. The Tigers won 23-22 over the Rabbitohs just five weeks back. On every occasion this year two teams have met twice, the first-up winner has won again. The Tigers have covered 10 of 14 against the Rabbitohs and 8 of 10 as an underdog of more than eight points. The Tigers are an excellent play.

Sydney Roosters 1-12 ($3.20)
The Roosters look a strong play in this one against the Sharks. Disregard last week. No team is running with the Panthers. The Roosters have won six straight against the Sharks and covered 10 of 15 off a double digit loss. This game projects to be close so the 1-12 is the margin play.

Nat Butcher To Score a Try ($4.80)
Nat Butcher is not a noted tryscorer with just eight tries in 88 games but he starts on an edge this week in a game that is forecast to go over the total. Butcher has scored twice this year and likely squares up with Wade Graham.
