2024 NRL Round 9 SGM Preview

2024 NRL Round 9 SGM Preview

Ya boy is back from a couple weeks off! Did you miss me? I bet this is the first time you’ve read one of these articles and don’t understand what I’m on about.

The rumours are indeed true, after a rough start to the season I exiled myself way up into the mountains away from civilisation so I could find myself and my tipping form once again.

I have reemerged from my spiritual sabbatical and am ready to get stuck into a couple same game multis this weekend.

“What are you yammering on about?” Yeah I hear you.

Here’s my multis for the weekend.

Also, listen to our poddy ya dogs.

SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS V PENRITH PANTHERS
Check it out below

Sacking JD less than 48 hours before you play the Panthers will more than likely have the same effect that putting a band aid on a severed arm would have (don’t quote me on that, I did have my medical license revoked).

Penrith waltz into Accor Stadium and I don’t think the Bunnies have a hope in hell to get up for this game.

I’m starting this one off with 13+ and now it’s all about backing a couple of try scorers.

Turuva is top dog so far this season, he has eight tries so far in 2024. Let’s add him to the SGM at $1.75.

To round out my three legger, Dylan Edwards for a meaty looks to be calling my name.

He’s got five tries in seven games this year and it’s pretty toey to get a Blues jersey.

I can see him bullying the Bunnies and getting over here and at $2.15, all I can say is thank you very much.

Bunnies v Riff: $4.91

  • Panthers 13+ @ $ 1.67
  • Sunia Turuva Anytime Try Scorer @ $1.75
  • Dylan Edwards Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.15
BRISBANE BRONCOS v SYDNEY ROOSTERS

One of the great rivalry games that doesn’t get a lot of love in my eyes.

Brisbane v Sydney on a Friday night, a cheeky little State of Origin appetiser mayhaps?

The Chookies were red hot last week, running up a (pretty shit) cricket score against the Dragons.

A sold out Suncorp will be different gravy this weekend however and they’ll need to fire like they did last week to barely cover the line in this game.

Speaking of covering the line, Brisbane has covered in 12 of their last 13 games against top eight sides. Give me Broncos -8.5.

Try scorer wise, I’ve been spruiking Deine Mariner to anyone that will listen this week.

He’s a genuine freak of nature and is super short in the market for a reason so I’ll be adding him at $1.75.

Ezra is back in the 13 this week and it’d be rude not to take him for a meaty wouldn’t it?

It also helps that he’s scored at least one in three of his last four games.

Is there a half in the league this week that’s shorter than $2.55 ATS like EZ is?

Broncs v Rooters SGM $5.73

  • Broncos -8.5 @ $1.90
  • Deine Mariner Anytime Try Scorer @ $1.75
  • Ezra Mam Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.55
NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS v DOLPHINS

We’ve got a big ole Kwee Lan derby on Saturday night, another massive win for QLD Rugby League this weekend.

The Phins are up in Townsville for a t̶r̶i̶p̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶M̶a̶d̶ ̶C̶o̶w̶ big game against the Cows and I’m giving them a bit more credit than the bookies are.

The Phins are $3 head to head but I’m not really buying what the Cows are selling at the moment.

Don’t agree with me? That’s fine, we can still be friends.

Let’s meet in the middle and take the Phins to cover the 8.5 point line.

A try scorer from each team sounds a bit frisky and fun doesn’t it.

Given they’re outsiders, Isaako at $2.05 is value.

It’s hard to look past Nanai as well isn’t it?

He scored last week and we need him firing on all cylinders to pump the Blues so give me Nanai at $2.30.

Mad Cows v Phins SGM $8.43

  • Dolphins +8.5 @ $1.94
  • Jamayne Isaako Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.05
  • Jeremiah Nanai Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.30
CRONULLA SHARKS v ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS

Just when you thought your Sunday scaries couldn’t get any worse. They finish the week with the Sharks and the Dragons.

Probably the game to duck and and do your groceries during instead of watching.

There is money to be won here however and while I can’t see the Drags letting 60 in again. The Sharks should do a number on them.

Sharks 13+ is where we get started here, top of the table vs a team licking there wounds from a belting.

Try scorer wise I’m starting with Ronaldo Mulitalo, Mully is in some very scary form and should find the line here.

I’m taking Will Kennedy as my second tryscorer here as well, an underrated contributor to the Sharks attack, you’re getting him for $2.10.

Sharks v Drags SGM $4.24

  • Sharks 13+ @ $1.85
  • Ronaldo Mulitalo Anytime Tryscorer @ $1.87
  • William Kennedy Anytime Tryscorer @ $2.10
