Dragons vs. Panthers Predictions

Best Bet
The Dragons have a winning record against the Panthers, but that advantage should come closer on Saturday afternoon.
The Panthers are back to full strength, and they won the most recent meeting 46-10 last year. That’s a tidy form guide for what could happen this week, and with the Panthers wanting a win before the finals, it should be a one-sided affair.
St George-Illawarra has allowed 80 points over the last two weeks, so its defence is shocking. That’s all the Panthers need to run up a big total, and the final score could be around 36-10, which is enough for the Panthers to easily cover the spread.

Same Game Multi
Looking to score his fifth try in five games is Paul Alamoti. He is starting to show the form we expected, and he’s starting to catch fire at the right time of the year. We’re happy with the $1.62 odds available for the winger.
We also like the $2 odds for Casey McLean to score. He owns six tries from his last five games, including a double last week, and against a Dragons defence leaking points, he could cash in for punters.
It’s because of the Dragons defence that we’re including over 48.5 in our NRL SGM picks. It should be a high-scoring game, with most tries being run in for the Panthers.

Best Value Bet
We expect the Panthers to come out firing and establish a big halftime lead, so include this option in your NRL picks.
They have been starting well over the last five weeks, and although they have let two leads slip against the Storm and Raiders, that doesn’t worry first half punters. Therefore, take the odds, which are generous from bookmakers.
We can’t see the Dragons putting up much of a fight in the opening 40 minutes.
