Roosters vs. Bulldogs Predictions

Best Bet

The Roosters lost 24-20 against the Bulldogs earlier this year, but we’re backing them to bounce back after showing good recent form.

They scored an emphatic 64-12 win over the Dolphins last week, which followed a tough win over the Sea Eagles, so the recent form stacks up, and the Bulldogs could be fatigued after playing in the driving rain last week.

There isn’t much between these teams, but with Sydney’s experience playing big games, we think it copes better under the pressure. The Roosters need the win more than the Bulldogs, so take the $2.25 as an excellent head-to-head price with the latest NRL odds.

Same Game Multi

Punters continue to get value odds for the Roosters’ best try scorers, including Mark Nawaqanitawase and Billy Smith.

Nawaqanitawase went four games without scoring a try before bouncing back with a trio of tries last week. He’s one of the more dynamic finishers in the NRL, and he’s having a great season for the Roosters.

He’s paying $1.94 to score, which is shorter than Smith at $3.15. Smith wasn’t meant to be a scoring threat, but with five tries from his last five games, he has been cash money for punters. We see no reason to leave him out, especially at the price.

Our final score prediction has the Roosters winning 24-20, so over 40.5 points is worth including in NRL SGM picks.

Best Value Bet

We’re hoping Josh Curran can come up trumps for is at juicy odds. The Bulldogs player scored two weeks ago against the Tigers in a losing effort, and the same could happen again.

The Bulldogs might need a big performance from the former Warrior, and he could crash over the line from close quarters to keep his team in the hunt.
