THURSDAY NRL BOOMS

Boom Best
Under 38.5 Penrith-Melbourne ($1.90)
There are plenty of reasons to think points will be few and far between in this one. The primary reason is that both teams are missing key playmakers. Ryan Papenhuyzen and Jahrome Hughes are both out for the Storm while Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai are out for the Panthers. The under has hit in 15 of the last 23 meetings between these two with eight of the last 10 failing to surpass 38. The under is the way to bet this one. 
Boom-o-meter: 80%

Boom Value
Dylan Edwards To Score a Try ($2.90)
Dylan Edwards is in the throes of a career year and he has been a very good tryscoring proposition of late with five tries in his last nine games. He crossed last week and is playing an increasingly important role without his regular halves. 
Boom-o-meter: 70%

Boom Boom
Tui Kamikamica To Score a Try ($12.00)
Huge prop Tui Kamikamica is not a renowned tryscorer with just seven tries in 66 games but he is not a $12 shot, particularly in a game like this. Kamikamica is often used in crash plays close to the line. Over the odds. 
Boom-o-meter: 40%
