Round 6 features plenty of rivalry matchups over Easter and it all begins at AAMI Park with a top 8 battle between the Storm and the Roosters.<\/span><\/p>\n The Storm come off arguably their best performance of the season as they beat Souths 18-10 in Sydney. Their defence was back to its best after struggling over the last few weeks. So that will be the key against the Roosters as well.<\/span><\/p>\n The Roosters are 3-0 since losing in Round 1 and come off a 28-20 victory over the Eels last week. However, James Tedesco will miss this clash with a concussion and that will hurt their attack against the Storm.<\/span><\/p>\n This should be a low-scoring battle between these two rivals and the Storm are 4-0 against the Under in night games.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Melbourne are 6-4 in their last 10 games at this venue. Sydney are 2-3 in their last 5 at AAMI Park.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n Since 2018, Storm are 7-4 against the Roosters.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Under 39.5 = $1.87<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Dogs outlasted the Cowboys in a brilliant golden-point win last week 15-14. Matty Burton nailed the game-winning field goal and the Dogs are now 3-1 in their last 4 games.<\/span><\/p>\n The Rabbitohs are out of form at the moment after 3 losses in their last 4 games. Their attack is out of sync after being held under 20 pts in 4 of 5 games in 2023. It likely won’t improve against an in-form Dogs side in what should be a bruising encounter.<\/span><\/p>\n Souths attack just isn’t there at the moment and the Dogs are in good enough form to keep this one close.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Canterbury are 4-3 at this venue since 2021. South Sydney are 6-4 in their last 10 games at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Rabbitohs are 7-2 against the Bulldogs since 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Bulldogs +10.5 = $1.95<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Cowboys are back at home in Round 6 as they host the Dolphins for the first time. They’re coming off a disappointing golden-point loss against the Dogs in Sydney. However, they should be more confident at home after winning 2 of 3 at this venue so far. Especially with Drinkwater back in the side.<\/span><\/p>\n The Dolphins have lost back-to-back games and were outplayed by the Dragons last week in the 38-12 result. They also lost Milford to injury and with O’Sullivan already out for a while, their halves combination will have to change again. They’re also missing enforcer Felise Kaufusi with suspension.<\/span><\/p>\n The Under is 5-1 in the Cowboys last 6 games and it’s hard to see the Dolphins scoring many points with a lot of experience out of the side.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n North Queensland are 7-3 in their last 10 games at home. The Dolphins are yet to play at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n These two sides are yet to meet in the NRL.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Under 42.5 = $1.85<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Panthers let out some frustration last week as they absolutely smashed the Raiders 53-12. After struggling to score points during the first few rounds, the Panthers attack was back to its best. The points should continue against Manly’s leaky defence as well.<\/span><\/p>\n The Sea Eagles are coming off a thrilling and high scoring 32-32 draw against the Knights last week. However, their defence is becoming concerning after conceding 30+ pts in 2 of their last 3 games. That will need to improve against a strong Panthers attack.<\/span><\/p>\n Day conditions should see the Panthers attack continue to roll on against a Manly side that has given up 30+ pts in 2 of their last 3.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Penrith are 7-3 at home in their last 10. Manly are just 1-4 in their last 5.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Panthers are 6-1 against the Sea Eagles since 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Over 42.5 = $1.87<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Broncos are flying in 2023 after an undefeated start to the season. They smashed the Tigers 46-12 last week and have been impressive in both attack\/defence. They’re scoring the most points per game in the NRL and have only conceded an average of 14 pts.<\/span><\/p>\n The Raiders will be looking to respond after getting smashed by the Panthers in Canberra last week 53-12. They’re just 1-4 after the first five rounds and their defence will be tested against the Broncos in a tough matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n Brisbane have scored 40+ pts in 2 straight at Suncorp and they could easily do the same against a struggling Raiders defence. The Over is also 6-0 in this matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n In their last 10 games at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane holds an 8-2 record. Canberra are 2-3 at this venue since 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Raiders are 3-2 against the Broncos in the last 5 meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Over 45.5 = $1.87<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Titans return from the bye and have had a decent start to 2023 with a 2-2 record. They don’t have to wait long for revenge against the Dragons after losing 32-18 in Round 2. But they should be more confident on their home turf and most sides have played well after the bye this year.<\/span><\/p>\n The Dragons snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 38-12 crushing win over the Dolphins. Mikaele Ravalawa scored a late double but the most impressive part was their defence. After conceding 40 pts in back-to-back games, they held the Dolphins to just 12 pts.<\/span><\/p>\n Gold Coast are 9-0 as a home favourite and should be well rested after the bye to beat the Dragons this time.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Gold Coast are 3-7 in their last 10 games at this venue. St. George are 0-3 at this venue since 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n Since 2018, Dragons are 6-3 against the Titans.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Titans Win = $1.77<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Knights drew with the Sea Eagles last week in a high scoring 32-32 affair. After falling behind early, the Knights showed good resolve to get back into the contest and Dom Young was the standout with 4 tries.<\/span><\/p>\n The Warriors are coming off a huge win over the Sharks in Cronulla that extended their winning streak to 3 games. They were down 20-0 against the Sharks but rallied in the second half behind Shaun Johnson. They’ve now 2 games in a row in Australia so they’ll be the favourites against Newcastle.<\/span><\/p>\n New Zealand are the form side coming into this matchup and the Knights are just 3-10 ATS in Newcastle.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Newcastle are 2-8 in their last 10 games at this venue. New Zealand are 2-3 in their last 5 in Newcastle.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nMelbourne Storm (6th) vs Sydney Roosters (3rd)<\/b><\/h3>\n
