Best Bet

Storm -2.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We expected money to come for the Storm and it has. They’re now outright favourites at $1.67, so it has been a big betting move for the visitors.

They will miss the NRL finals for the first time since 2010, which is a disappointing result, but they haven’t had all favours in the injury department, and it has mostly been their defence that has cost them wins.

The Broncos have been terrible in their effort to defend their title. They are 15th on the NRL ladder, and despite beating the Raiders last week, winning consecutive games could be too much for the hosts on Thursday night.

We’re following the money and backing the Storm to win and cover the spread. Harry Grant and Cameron Munster should play their best footy and look to give Melbourne a couple of wins to close out the year.

Same Game Multi

Storm -2.5, Moses Leo Anytime Try Scorer, Tyran Wishart Anytime Try Scorer, Under 49.5 @ $17.75

Bet Now

Moses Leo has three tries from his last two games, and although he didn’t score last week, he’ll be tough to stop against the Broncos. He’s the current $1.71 favourite to score, and with good reason, so include him in NRL SGM picks.

Punters get big odds for Tyran Wishart to score at $3.05. He has a try in his last two games, and three tries in his last four games. That’s good enough for us to include him in picks, and the odds provide punters with a big boost.

The Broncos could struggle to put points on the board, and we expect a much better effort from Melboure’s defence, so take under 49.5 points.

Best Value Bet

Cooper Clarke Anytime Try Scorer @ $5.90

Bet Now

Cooper Clarke isn’t a noted try scorer for the Storm, but with only two games remaining, he could score an overdue try.

It often happens towards the end of the season, and guys like Clarke can capitalise with a try from close range.

He’s playing well for the Storm, and we’re backing him to be rewarded with a try at $5.90 odds.
