Sharks vs. Warriors Predictions
—
Best Bet
It was a disappointing effort from the Warriors last week, but a bounce back effort is on the cards against the Sharks.
They welcomed back Luke Metcalf, who was always going to need the game under his belt, and he will show improvement this week. He should partner well with Tanah Boyd, who is an excellent running half, having scored tries in his first three games.
It was their defence that was lacking last week, but we haven’t been too impressed by the Sharks, so the Warriors could hold them out. The betting suggests that it will be a close contest, so we’re taking the +4.5 points.
It all comes down to attitude, and the Warriors often play best when they’re least expected to win.

Same Game Multi
Dallin Watene-Zelezniak hasn’t been the most consistent scorer this season, but he looked good when scoring a double against the Raiders. Punters get $2.03 for the Warriors winger to score, which is a value line from bookmakers.
Leka Halasima ended his try-scoring run last week, but the offence went dry in the second half. He’s a power runner, which he showcased when five tries from his previous four games. $2.30 is a value price to include in NRL same game multi picks.
We have the final score at 24-20, so include under 47.5 points in NRL picks this week.

Best Value Bet
We have the Warriors causing an upset over the Sharks, but it’s unlikely to be a 13+ victory.
Therefore, the $3.50 for a 1-12 win is the best value available. The Warriors posted wins over the Roosters, Raiders, and Knights, so the form stacks up nicely, and the Sharks are there for the taking.
We rated the Warriors 1-12 at $2.80, so it could pay to snap up the value before the odds firm.
