Boom Best
Parramatta -16 v Canterbury ($1.88)
It is hard to see how the Bulldogs get close in this one. They have conceded 30-plus in all three games under Mick Potter and the Eels thrive against bad teams. Parramatta have won 10 of the last 12 and claimed the last two by 22-plus points. The Eels have covered 9 of 12 as a road favourite of more than a try and 10 of 14 off scoring 28-plus. Canterbury have covered just 2 of 10 off conceding 30-plus.

Dylan Brown Try ($2.80)
Eels No.6 Dylan Brown is an underrated tryscorer. He has 19 tries in 66 games including six in 12 this year. The Bulldogs lack speed and are vulnerable on both edges so Brown is going to get opportunities.

Shaun Lane Try ($3.30)
Lane is a quality tryscoring backrower when played on a left edge and he will play on the left this week. He likely comes up against a very slow Josh Jackson whose lateral movement is now gone.
