Bulldogs vs. Roosters Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Roosters have their confidence back after consecutive wins to the Dragons and Dolphins, and although the Bulldogs came from 20-0 down to beat the Raiders last week, we weren’t overly impressed.
It was a good comeback win on the road, but the Roosters get a few players back in their team, and they have a winning record against the Bulldogs. They won the most recent meeting 26-8 last year, and the Bulldogs haven’t looked invincible lately.
Getting a +7.5 line for the Roosters is generous from bookmakers. It should be a close contest throughout the game, and it could come down to the final 10 minutes, or potentially go to golden point.

Same Game Multi
There is good value for Mark Nawaqanitawase to score a try having scored a double against the Dolphins last week. He is having an excellent year, and he wasn’t expected to be one of the leading scorers for the Roosters.
Boasting four tries from his last four games, getting $2.08 is a good price with NRL odds, so include him in same game multis.
We also like Jacob Kiraz, who has four tries from his last four games. He scored a hattrick against the Titans before adding a try to his tally against the Raiders. He’s a $1.79 chance to score, so he could boost payouts.
Over 44.5 is a fair line from bookmakers. They scored 34 and 56 points in two meetings last year, and with the Bulldogs and Roosters scoring totals of 32 and 36 last week, it should be a high scoring game on Friday night.

Best Value Bet
There is a real chance for an upset, especially if the Bulldogs focus too much on their comeback win against the Raiders. They were down 20-0 at halftime, which isn’t good, and if they start poorly against the Roosters, they won’t make a comeback.
With the Roosters sitting in 9th on the NRL ladder, they’re the more desperate team, and getting Chad Townsend, Dominic Young, and Lindsay Collins back in the team could see them pull off an upset win.
$4 for a halftime-fulltime win is worth including as a value bet.
