Raiders vs. Sharks Predictions

Best Bet

Raiders –4.5 @ $1.90

The Raiders choked a big lead away against the Broncos, but we can’t see this team getting bungled out in consecutive weeks. They were too good during the regular season to not bounce back, and we’re not surprised by the odds.

Cronulla has been playing well, and it has been going under the radar. However, the Sharks come off a win over the Roosters, and we don’t think that’s a good form guide, especially with this game being played in Canberra.

It would be a shocking result if the Raiders lost two finals games, so we’re taking them to win and cover the –4.5 spread. They have an exciting team, and we expect them to hold onto their big lead this time around.

Same Game Multi

Raiders –4.5, Kaeo Weekes Anytime Try Scorer, Hudson Youn g Anytime Try Scorer, Over 46.5 @ $15.50

Kaeo Weekes had a big game last week, and it was all going well until the Raiders lost. However, take nothing away from his performance. He was excellent, so getting $2.45 to score against the Sharks is an excellent price.

We also like Hudson Young to score another try at $2.45. He has a knack of finding the white stripe in big games, and we thought his odds would be shorter. Take the odds to boost NRL SGM odds, which are sizable for this option.

Over 46.5 points is worth including. There are plenty of points on offer, so it should be a back-and-forth contest.

Best Value Bet

Kaeo Weekes First Try Scorer @ $11.00

Weekes showed off his blistering speed with a top try last week, and he could use that speed to get around the Sharks defence.

We find the Sharks defence to be lacking at times, and if Weekes can sneak through the line, he doesn’t need much room to get past the defenders.

Punters get $11 odds, so he’s worth including as an NRL value bet.
