Roosters vs. Wests Tigers Predictions

Ended

The NRL continues with Round 25 action between the Roosters vs. Wests Tigers on Sunday, August 23 at 4:05pm at Allianz Stadium.

It’s one of the best against one of the worst teams to close out Round 25, and it should be a one-sided affair in Sydney.

Best Bet

Roosters -25.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Covering a -25.5 line is not easy at this stage of the year, but we can’t find it in ourselves to bet on the Tigers.

They have endured another dreadful season, and with some of their players leaving at the end of the year, they’re looking for the exit signs. That was the case at the mid-way stage of the season, when their form took a dramatic dive.

That’s the same the Roosters started their winning streak, which has seen them go from a 6-8 team into the minor premiership spot. They’re playing beautiful rugby league, and it should be enough to put up a cricket score on the Tigers.

They already beat the Cowboys 82-12, so winning by massive margins isn’t beyond the premiership favourites. Therefore, back them to pump the Tigers and cover the -25.5 spread.

Same Game Multi

Roosters -25.5, Robert Toia Anytime Try Scorer, Sam Walker Anytime Try Scorer, Over 52.5 @ $9.00

Robert Toia was unlucky not to score a try last week, and he could make up for it against the Tigers. The State of Origin representative is a classy player for the Roosters, and we’re loving the $1.85 odds to score a try.

We’re also loving the $2.40 for Sam Walker to score. He’s having a great year for the Roosters, and he’s not adverse to scoring tries. He scored three tries against the Cowboys, and he could run in another couple on Sunday.

The Roosters could score 52 points by themselves, so we’re including the over in NRL SGM picks. Defence will play second fiddle in this contest.

Best Value Bet

Sam Walker 2+ Tries @ $6.75

Bet Now

Walker likes to score in bunches when he’s in try-scoring form, as shown when scoring three against the Cowboys.

That game was a one-sided affair, which is expected again this week, and that could see Walker run the ball to the line and be aggressive.

He’s also a good support player, so look for him to score twice at $6.75.
