South Sydney +4.5 v Parramatta ($1.85)
Souths have a tremendous record against Parramatta and with Latrell Mitchell back in the side they look primed for an improved showing. The Rabbitohs have scored 38-plus in their last four against the Eels. Souths have also covered six of eight as an underdog at Accor. The Eels have covered just four of 12 when favoured.

Brisbane ($2.66) at North Queensland
The Broncos have been outstanding this year and have now covered eight straight. The Cowboys have been the most underrated team in the competition but this is a big price to be betting about Brisbane with Adam Reynolds back running the show. They have covered 11 of 13 as an underdog so this will be a one-score game.

61+ Points Canterbury-Cronulla ($12)
Wet weather is predicted which reduces the confidence here but this is a game that maps for a lot of points. Canterbury are a completely different outfit under Mick Potter with four of their last five tallying 48-plus points. Cronulla go over the total at 60% when favoured. This game should get to the high 40s at least so the $12 is nice overs to hit 61.
