Oscar Pannifex breaks down every game of Round 7 and provides his best betting plays of the weekend. North Queensland Cowboys vs Manly Sea Eagles 9:50pm Thursday | Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville Sea Eagles Win @ $2.45, Tom Trbojevic Try @ $1.83 & Jaxon Purdue Try @ $1.75 The Cowboys attack has carried them into four straight wins but I think Manly have the players to punish them through the middle of the field here. North Queensland’s ruck is a spot when fatigue sets in and that’s exactly where the Sea Eagles have been sending Tolu Koula and Tom…

NRL Round 6 Team Of The Week

• Archie Wilson

What a weekend of NRL we have just witnessed! Major upsets, high scoring games and plenty of outstanding individual performances. We are going to take a look at those performances and once again provide our Team of the Week. Prop | Terrell May The Tigers forward pack were at their dynamic best this weekend against the Knights, and one of the key reasons was Terrell May’s dominance, which included 224 metres gained, 35 tackles and a try.

Oscar Pannifex breaks down every game of Round 6 and provides his best betting plays of the weekend. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Penrith Panthers 9:50pm Thursday | Accor Stadium, Sydney Penrith 13+ @ $1.55, Casey McLean Anytime Try @ $1.80 & Blaize Talagi Anytime Try @ $3.60 On the back of an undefeated start to the regular season, we’re seeing Penrith try a few new things in attack. Statistically speaking (offloads, total receipts, line engagements etc), they’re still playing the same old brand of football but by the eye test, this is the most expansive version of the Panthers attack we’ve…

• Oscar Pannifex

The Easter Long Weekend is here and Oscar Pannifex thinks he’s found a few Golden Eggs across NRL Round 5. Dolphins vs Manly Sea Eagles 10:00pm Thursday | Kayo Stadium, Redcliffe Dolphins 13+@ $2.10, Jake Averillo Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.35 & Jamayne Isaako Anytime Try Scorer @ $1.72 Kieran Foran ushers in a new era on the Northern Beaches and while I’m expecting a response from the embattled Sea Eagles, I’m still leaning towards Redcliffe in this one. The Dolphins went toe-to-toe with Brisbane last week without much luck going their way. There’s plenty of strike down that left…

NRL Round 4 Team Of The Week

NRL Round 4 Team Of The Week

• Archie Wilson

Upsets were everywhere in Round 4 of the NRL season, with a few new names emerging as the stars of the round, so the Team of the Week has a slightly different look compared to the first three rounds. Let’s take a look at how the side shaped up after the Round 4 action. Prop | Jacob Saifiti The Knights prop was an absolute workhorse on the weekend, getting stuck into just about every facet of the game, which allowed his team to flourish and upset the Bulldogs. In his 52 minute shift, Sifiti made 35 tackles, missing only two,…

Easts started fast last week but couldn’t go with Penrith when they went up a few gears. I’m not so sure Manly provide as stern a test in the grind. The Roosters profile well to go straight through the front door here. They looked good playing direct through Reece Robson early and can have some joy flooding the ruck before unleashing James Tedesco on the Sea Eagles edges. This could be a long night for DCE haters… Tips Sydney Roosters 13+ @ $2.60 Mark Nawaqanitawase 2 Or More Tries @ $3.25 Bet Now New Zealand Warriors vs Wests Tigers 8:00pm…

NRL Round 3 Team Of The Week

NRL Round 3 Team Of The Week

• Archie Wilson

We now have three weeks of NRL in the books and some teams are starting to announce themselves as early leaders of the pack. Alongside those teams, many players continue to perform and put their hands up as the best in the competition so far. With that said, we have our third Team of the Week ready to go, so let’s crack into it. Prop | Jackson Ford Back to back weeks for Jackson Ford landing in our Team of the Week, as he has filled in masterfully for the team’s captain, Mitch Barnett. Once again this weekend, Ford was…

NRL Best Bets | Round 3

• Oscar Pannifex

Canberra’s chaotic, high-risk attack didn’t hold up in the wet against New Zealand last week and I’m keen to see how they respond here. There are still some promising looks through Ethan Strange now stationed on the right edge but the Raiders need repeatable actions to fall back on in the grind. That’s exactly where Canterbury will look to take them here; the Bulldogs excel at chipping away at their opposition while applying pressure throughout the 80 minutes. I like Canterbury’s defence to win this one. Tips Best: Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs @ $2.02 Anytime Try Scorer: Jacob Kiraz @ $1.73 Same…

NRL Round 2 Team Of The Week

NRL Round 2 Team Of The Week

• Archie Wilson

It now feels like we are well and truly into the NRL season, with the first full weekend of action now behind us. For us, that means we are due for another Team of the Week, which we introduced this time last week. After some deliberation, I have come up with the second edition of the betcha Team of the Week. Prop | Jackson Ford With their captain Mitch Barnett out, the Warriors have leaned on Jackson Ford to be their starting prop to open the season. Through two games he hasn’t disappointed, and this weekend more than earned his…
