Two of the NRL’s form teams meet this Saturday, with the Roosters hosting the Broncos at Allianz Stadium in Sydney.
Sydney Roosters vs Brisbane Broncos
The Roosters looked sharp last week, putting the Dragons to the sword 62-16 for their fourth straight win.
Brisbane also impressed, beating the Bulldogs comprehensively despite a raft of injuries.
The Broncos regain Reece Walsh and Pat Carrigan for this clash, while Sydney remain unchanged.
Leg 1 - Broncos +4.5
Sydney are playing excellent footy and have dominated this matchup in recent years.
However, that big win over the Dragons could lead to a slight drop-off. Brisbane are building nicely and look close to their best again.
They can win this, but at the very least should keep it tight.
Leg 2 - Over 51.5 Points
Both sides are scoring heavily. The Broncos are averaging 27.5 points across their last four, while the Roosters are at 41.75.
There’s also scoring history here, with two of the last three meetings seeing one side crack 40 points.
With strong attacking units and favourable conditions, points should flow.
Leg 3 - Mark Nawaqanitawase to Score
Nawaqanitawase is in elite form, scoring multiple tries in three of his last four games.
He also has eight tries in his last five at Allianz Stadium, showing how dangerous he is at this venue.
With Walsh returning, expect plenty of aerial contests where Nawaqanitawase can capitalise.
Same Game Multi
Broncos +4.5 / Over 51.5 / Nawaqanitawase to Score = $5.25
Value Bet - Daniel Tupou First Try Scorer @ $8.00
The Roosters have started fast recently, scoring first twice and inside the opening quarter eight times across their last four matches.
Tupou has been a big part of that, crossing five times in that stretch.
He hasn’t landed first try scorer yet this season, but historically it’s been a strength of his and looks overdue here.
