There has been a stack of money come for the Roosters, who firmed into -11.5 during the week. It’s a big move for the third-placed team, but it’s not surprising.

The Roosters are playing better than the Storm after winning four of their last five games, including the last three against the Sharks, Broncos, and Eels. They’re playing with confidence, and the Storm could struggle to keep up with them.

The Storm bounced back from a loss to the Sea Eagles with a win against Gold Coast. However, it only came with a late try, and narrowly beating the Titans isn’t an ideal form guide when playing a team like the Roosters.

Sydney is 7-1 in its last eight games in New South Wales, and we’re happy to include the Roosters -11.5 in our NRL picks.

Roosters -11.5, Mark Nawaqanitawase Anytime Try Scorer, Daniel Tupou Anytime Try Scorer, Over 44.5 @ $6.00

Mark Nawaqanitawase hasn’t scored in his last two games, but the winger looks set to bounce back. His NRL season has been interrupted with Origin duties, so punters should expect him to knuckle down and get back to doing what he does best.

Daniel Tupou made a big return when scoring three tries against the Eels, and he’s a player to follow. He is one of the best threats in the air, so expect Sam Walker to target him throughout the game. Include him in NRL SGM picks at $1.73.

The Roosters have plenty of points in them, and it should be a high-scoring contest. We have the Roosters winning 30-16, so include the over.

Best Value Bet

Daniel Tupou First Try Scorer @ $7.00

Tupuo had a field day against the Eels, and although the Storm’s defence is slightly better, he could repeat his effort from last week.

His return from an injury-enforced layoff has been excellent, and with his confidence levels peaking, he will be tough to stop against the Storm.

Our NRL predictions have him scoring the first try at $7, which is value price from bookmakers.
