Best Bet

Betting against the Panthers wasn’t an easy choice, especially considering how well they played against the Bulldogs last week. However, there is a sense of timing for the Broncos, who will have their 2023 Grand Final defeat in the backs of their minds.

The team has changed slightly since Nathan Cleary single-handedly tore them apart in the final 15 minutes, and that could be a good thing. The Broncos enter this game having had a bye week, and they’re rested and ready to fire.

It was all about Reece Walsh in their finals win over the Raiders. He pulled them back from the brink of defeat, and he’s a player that Panthers don’t have. He’s an excitement machine, and after four years of winning, we believe the Panthers run will come to an end.

Playing at Suncorp Stadium in the afternoon is ideal for the Broncos brand of footy, and getting $2.12 is enticing enough to back the outsiders in an upset.

Same Game Multi

It’s hard not to include Walsh and Brian To’o in our NRL SGM picks this week. Walsh has been in fine try-scoring form recently, and getting $1.92 odds for him to score a try is good value.

We also fancy Brian To’o to continue his fine run of form. He took many weeks to showcase his best try-scoring form, but he looked good when scoring last week, and he could have scored another after getting an intercept. Punters get only $1.66, but he can boost NRL SGM odds.

They combined for 40 points in their last meeting, but this game should be an open contest. Over 46.5 points in worth including as the final score could be around 30-20.

Best Value Bet

Ben Hunt doesn’t score too many tries, but he often scores on the big occasions. Therefore, we’re backing him to score a try on Sunday.

There should be plenty of tries in this game, and if Hunt can get some room to move close to the ball-the-ball, he could strike at generous odds of $5.90.

Hunt delivers in these types of games, so back the Bronco.
