Oscar Pannifex breaks down every game of Round 10 and provides his best betting plays of the weekend. Dolphins vs Canterbury Bulldogs 9:50pm Thursday | Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Dolphins Win @ $1.46, Kulikefu Finefuiaki Anytime Try @ $3.20, Stephen Crichton Anytime Try @ $2.90 I’m not prepared to write off Canterbury just yet and neither is Cameron Ciraldo, who has named a familiar Bulldogs outfit again this week. Like Ciraldo, I’m all in on Lachlan Galvin but he needs more from the spine players around him if the Dogs attack is to improve. Redcliffe were in a similar rut a…

Oscar Pannifex breaks down every game of Round 9 and provides his best betting plays of the weekend. Canterbury Bulldogs vs North Queensland Cowboys 8:00pm Friday | Accor Stadium, Sydney Bulldogs Win @ $1.83 & Stephen Crichton Anytime Try @ $2.65 This Cowboys attack is relishing the weekly shoot-out that is the NRL right now and there’s every reason to believe they can kick on again. If this one plays out try-for-try like last week, it’ll play right into the hands of this expansive North Queensland attack who are setting Scott Drinkwater up for success on the edges. That being…

Oscar Pannifex breaks down every game of Round 8 and provides his best betting plays of the weekend. Wests Tigers vs Canberra Raiders 9:50pm Thursday | Leichhardt Oval, Sydney Wests Tigers Win @ $1.48 & Taylan May Anytime Try @ $2.30 Wests improvements this year have been genuine but they were dealt a reality check last week. Brisbane’s effort areas and goal-line defence were superb to repeatedly turn away a Tigers attack that spent a lot of time inside-twenty without cashing in. Wests are still adjusting with Jarome Luai back in the halves and what that means for Adam Doueihi…

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…

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…

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…
