The NRL continues with Round 11 action between the Wests Tigers vs. Sea Eagles on Saturday, May 16 at 3:00pm at Suncorp Stadium.

Best Bet

Sea Eagles –8.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We called it a few weeks ago that the Tigers would struggle when news broke of Jarome Luai moving to PNG, and they didn’t let us down.

The Tigers lost their last two games by a combined margin of 96-26, and there is nothing to get excited about that. They are likely to struggle again against an in-form Sea Eagles outfit, who have four wins from their last five games.

The only recent loss they had was an 18-16 defeat to the Panthers, and they could have easily won that game. It was a big performance in a losing effort, and they bounced back with a 32-4 win over the Brisbane Broncos.

Covering a –8.5 line isn’t easy during Magic Round, but given the trajectory of these teams, they should score a comfortable victory.

Same Game Multi

Sea Eagles –8.5, Jason Saab Anytime Try Scorer, Reuben Garrick Anytime Try Scorer, Over 53.5 @ $7.50

For a player with elite speed, Jason Saab doesn’t score often enough. However, it’s only a matter of time before he starts putting everything together. Punters get $1.73 to include in NRL same game multi bets, which is worth taking.

Reuben Garrick has four tries from his last five games, and we’re surprised by the $1.96 odds. We have him scoring a try, and getting close to $2 is a fair price from bookmakers.

Defence hasn’t been there for the Tigers, who could allow the Sea Eagles to run rampant. We have over 53.5 points included in our multi bets this week.

Best Value Bet

Lehi Hopoate 3+ Tries @ $7.75

Bet Now

We have been impressed with Lehi Hopoate this season, and he has six tries from his last five games.

Scoring 3+ tries isn’t an easy task, but he is finishing off backline moves in style, and his confidence levels have grown exponentially.

We’re happy to have a nibble on the $7.75 odds for a hattrick, and he should give punters a good sight.
