GOLD COAST TITANS VS PARRAMATTA EELS – FRIDAY JULY 16, 6:00PM, CBUS SUPER STADIUM

The Eels were disappointing when beaten by the Panthers in round 16 before securing a win against the bye last week.

A few of their players will be backing up from Origin but they should have the talent to see off a Gold Coast side that has really struggled to keep teams at bay defensively.

The Titans have conceded at least 30 points in six of their last ten games and the Eels have the firepower to put up a big score if they feel like it.

  • 3 units Eels – 4.5 @ $2 with TopSport

MANLY SEA EAGLES VS ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS – FRIDAY JULY 16, 7:55PM, CBUS SUPER STADIUM

The Dragons have had a nightmare 2 week period and will look to put their off-field drama behind them and focus on this Friday night matchup with the Manly Sea Eagles.

Manly will be looking to bounce back from its shock loss to Canberra. Although the Sea Eagles have struggled historically without Tom Trbojevic in the lineup, it was still a shock to see them fall to a horribly out-of-form Raiders team which was also missing key players.

The line is sitting at 14.5 and it will all depend on whether Turbo takes the field. I know it is annoying to sit and wait but they are a totally different side without him in the team.

  • 2 units Sea Eagles -14.5 @ $2 with TopSport (***If Turbo Plays)
  • 1 unit Dragons +14.5 @ $2 with TopSport (***If Turbo Doesn’t Play)

CANBERRA RAIDERS VS CRONULLA SHARKS – SATURDAY JULY 17, 3:00PM, CBUS SUPER STADIUM

The Sharks have hit peak form right time and have taken five of their last six toearn a spot in the top eight.

Last week’s surprise win over the undermanned Sea Eagles notwithstanding, the Raiders have been largely awful in recent weeks with just three wins from their last 12 games.

Not to mention that when the Raiders lose, they tend to lose by a lot in recent weeks, three of their last four defeats have been by at least 24 points.

NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS VS SYDNEY ROOSTERS – SATURDAY JULY 17, 5:30PM, QUEENSLAND COUNTRY BANK STADIUM

The Cowboys will be happy to be at home this week after two embarrassing losses to the Knights and Rabbitohs.

As for the Roosters, the Origin period has been rough as expected however they should start to get things back on track this weekend.

  • 2 units Roosters -8.5 @ $2 with TopSport

MELBOURNE STORM VS NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS – SATURDAY JULY 17, 7:30PM, AAMI PARK

The ultra-impressive Storm side has really asserted their dominance this season and look to have one hand on the premiership as they look to steal it from the Panthers.

Newcastle have found a new confidence with the return of Pierce and Ponga but will it be enough to keep the Storm within 19.5…. We think so

  • 1 unit Knights +19.5 @ $2 with TopSport

NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS VS PENRITH PANTHERS – SUNDAY JULY 18, 2:00PM, SUNCORP STADIUM

The Warriors have been extremely disappointing in the past two weeks and should’ve put it to the Sharks with Reece Walsh back in the side.

They will need to improve here but an undermanned Panthers lineup looks to lack points so they may have a chance to put the foot down if they can get it right.

  • 1 unit Warriors +7.5 @ $2 with TopSport

BRISBANE BRONCOS VS WESTS TIGERS – SUNDAY JULY 18, 4:00PM, SUNCORP STADIUM

Brisbane has been presented with an excellent opportunity to win consecutive games for the first time since Rounds 1 & 2 of the 2020 season.

The Tigers have been nothing short of woeful in recent weeks with their defence proving to be a major issue.

The Broncos lack the gun powder to really put a score on them but we are looking for them to win.

  • 1 unit Broncos 1-12 @ $3.10 with TopSport

SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS VS CANTERBURY BULLDOGS – SUNDAY JULY 18, 6:15PM, CBUS SUPER STADIUM

The Bulldogs gave fans something to cheer about last week with a solid defensive effort but it will be put to the test here with the Rabbitohs full of points and confidence.

Backing any team at this big of a line always comes with a sense of risk but we are seeing more and more blowouts this season and I would not be surprised if Souths put up 50.

  • 3 units Rabbitohs -25.5 @ $2 with TopSport

  • 3 units Eels – 4.5 @ $2 with TopSport
  • 2 units Sea Eagles -14.5 @ $2 with TopSport (***If Turbo Plays)
