It’s a shortnened week of Rugby League so in celebration I am going to shorten my language in this article.
Me like footy, me like bet.
Same game multi, go Queensland.
Even just writing that gave me a headache, here are my picks for an abbreviated Round 13
Also, listen to our poddy ya dogs.
Mitch Moses and King Gutho return for Parra this week and should be the difference makers in my eyes against a Sharkies team that’s lost a couple big dogs to Origin Camp.
Parra are $1.77 favourites and that looks too juicy not to take on for me, that will be the first leg of the multi.
A lot of the Eels’ scoring has been through Gutho when he’s been on the field and I think it makes sense that he gets a meaty in his return.
With Moses back on the field as well, that should unlock Maika Sivo on the wing and taking him for a try gives us some respectable odds.
PARRA v SHARKIES $4.62
- Eels H2H @ $1.77
- Maika Sivo Anytime Try Scorer @ $1.60
- Clint Gutherson Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.20
I think this fixture kind of sums up the lull that the NRL goes into during Origin.
One Friday night game that looks horrendous.
Newcastle at home are usually an unstoppable force and without Critta, I’m not excited about the Dogs, so give me the Knights to cover.
One shining light for Newy this year is David Armstrong the Knights’ replacement for Ponga, I’ve really enjoyed watching him play this year and will be taking him to score.
NEWY v DOGS SGM $3.31
- Knights -4.5 @ $1.90
- David Armstrong Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.20
Trai Fuller returns for the Phins while Tabuai-Fidow is off with QLD and I can’t be more excited.
The big fella should be featured a fair bit in this game and I like the Phins to really destroy Canberra at a sold out Redcliffe on Saturday night.
Phins 13+ is my first leg, let’s throw in Trai Fuller too.
Honestly, that’s a $5 multi already, let’s not get too greedy.
I’m going to lock that in right now.
PHINS v MILK SGM $5.06
- Dolphins 13+ @ $2.90
- Trai Fuller Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.20
I have a strong suspicsion Tedesco might be playing angry this Sunday after being shafted by the Blues and given that the betting line is out to 19.5 points.
We could see a proper blow out in this one.
I rarely add players to score a double in multis but Teddy to score two against a Cows team that is a shell of itself just makes sense doesn’t it? If not for purely the storyline, I’m locking it in.
To call it a multi we need an extra leg, so I’ve seasoned this bad boy with a little Dom Young anytime.
That will do just nicely.
COCKS V COWS SGM $6.84
- James Tedesco 2 or more tries @ $3.25
- Dom Young Anytime Tryscorer @ $1.42
