NRL Finals Week 1 Preview: Our Selections & Staking Plan

We’ve arrived at week 1 of the finals as the Panthers look to make it 17 in a row while the Storm & the Raiders should look to grind out a win to progress to week 2.

Tipping Results (Started In Round 8) :

Round 20 Wrap

Round 20 was thrown into turmoil last week with the Knights & the Roosters copping a belting which cost us 3 units but the Warriors and the Raiders managed to claw back some of the damage & we will be looking to hit back this week

Let’s take a look at week 1 of the finals below.


PENRITH PANTHERS VS SYDNEY ROOSTERS – FRIDAY 2 OCTOBER, 7:50PM, PANTHERS STADIUM

Ivan Cleary’s side is arguably the team to beat from here & it’s not hard to see why when they’re shooting for their 17th straight win against a deflated Roosters lineup.

After spending the last month or so as the Premiership favourite, Sydney now find themselves third in betting following last week’s dismal 60-8 loss to the Rabbitohs.

On a more positive note, head coach Trent Robinson should have a near-full squad to choose from this week with Jake Friend, Joey Manu and Lindsay Collins all set to return from injury.

The Panthers, meanwhile, are also welcoming back Brian To’o from injury as well as Dylan Edwards, Viliame Kikau and Stephen Crichton after having last week off to rest.

Penrith has played to a perfect 6-0 record at home this season, while they’ve also managed to cover in five of those games at the line.

That said, the Roosters just don’t lose back-to-back games, evident in the fact they’ve gone 4-1 in their last five games after a loss.

CANBERRA RAIDERS VS CRONULLA SHARKS – SATURDAY 3 OCTOBER, 5:40PM, GIO STADIUM

Ricky Stuart elected to rest almost all of his regular starting lineup last week and will be calling on the freshness of his players to make a statement this week against a Sharks lineup that hasn’t defeated a top 8 side all season.

Canberra has now won three straight over Cronulla dating back to last season and are also 6-2 as the favourite in their last eight home games.
