Panthers vs. Storm Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Panthers opened at $1.88 before Ryan Papenhuyzen was ruled out for Melbourne, which saw the odds firm into $1.50. The line also moved to –4.5, but we’re happy to include the home side in our NRL picks at that line.
They are one of the hottest teams in the NRL, having been outside the top eight for most of the year, but a long winning streak has seen the Panthers move to fourth. They’re firing on all cylinders now, and the Storm’s injury problems could catch up to them.
We expect the Panthers to score a comfortable win on Thursday, where Nathan Cleary guides his team around the field for a 10-point win.

Same Game Multi
Punters cashed in with Brian To’o last week, and we see no reason to jump off the wingers’ back on Thursday.
He broke his try-scoring drought with a try against the Knights, and although the Storm’s defence is much better, he should still cross for a try at odds of $2, which is a generous offering from bookmakers.
We also like the odds for Thomas Jenkins to score. He has a try in four of his last five games, and he has emerged as the top try-scoring threat for the Panthers. He should get on the end of a orchestrated move from Cleary, and punters can cash in.
Our score prediction is 22-12, so include under 40.5 points in NRL same game multi picks.

Best Value Bet
Izack Tago has been in good try-scoring form recently, scoring three tries from his last four games.
We believe he’s good enough to get things started on the right foot for the Panthers, and punters get a whopping $13 for him to score the opening try.
He’s also $3.25 to score at anytime, which is a value price.
