North Queensland -12.5 v St George Illawarra ($1.92)
North Queensland will likely be without three Origin players while St George Illawarra will likely have their duo back. It is hard to look past the Cowboys in this one though, who have been underrated by the market all year, as seen in their 10-3 cover record. They have covered six of eight off a double digit win. The Dragons have covered just 7 of 21 off scoring 24-plus.

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow Try ($2.20)
Speedster Tabuai-Fidow has scored 12 tries in 19 games when starting in the three-quarter line so this is a good spot for him, particularly with Valentine Holmes highly unlikely. He has 15 tries in his last 24 starts.

Tom Gilbert Try ($4.20)
Tom Gilbert has just two first grade tries but he has been a real threat since moving to an edge this year. The Dragons edge defence is vulnerable. He gets a plus-matchup here.
