Round 24 of the NRL season kicks off with a blockbuster clash in Penrith as the Panthers take on the Storm. Could this be a Grand Final preview?<\/p>\n
The Panthers stormed home to beat the Eels last week 36-34. They scored 3 tries in the last 15 mins to steal a famous win. It keeps their minor premiership hopes alive and a win over Melbourne will help even more.<\/p>\n
After a shock 18-16 loss against the Dragons, the Storm got back on track with a 28-16 win over Souths in Sydney last Thursday night. They’re back on Thursday night footy with a tough challenge against the Panthers in Penrith. They beat them in Round 1 8-0 but that was a long time ago<\/p>\n
The Under is 6-0 at BlueBet Stadium between these two sides.<\/p>\n
Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Penrith are 8-2 in their last 10 games at this venue. Melbourne are 0-2 at this venue since 2018.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n In the last 10, the Panthers hold a 6-4 record.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n Under 43.5 = $1.87<\/a><\/p>\n The Sea Eagles smashed the Raiders 46-24 and now find themselves 6th on the ladder. So finals footy could be there for the taking for the first time since 2021.<\/p>\n The Warriors suffered a golden point loss against the Dolphins last week 34-32. It kind of sums up their season of inconsistency. They’ve now lost 4 of their last 5 and it’s been a disappointing season.<\/p>\n The Over is 11-1 in the last 12 meetings.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Manly are 8-2 in their last 10 games at this venue. Since 2018, New Zealand have a 1-2 record at this venue.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n The Sea Eagles are 3-1 (1 draw) against the Warriors in the last 5.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n Over 52.5 = $1.95<\/a><\/p>\n The Roosters are sitting nicely, they’re 3rd on the ladder and come off the bye. They beat the Dolphins 40-34 in Round 22 and have scored 34+ pts in their last 2 weeks. So that should give the Eels defence a lot to handle.<\/p>\n The Eels will be disappointed about last week’s collapse against the Panthers. After leading comfortably, they let in 3 late tries. So they’ll try to bounce back.<\/p>\n Parra should be able to cover this massive line, they almost beat the Panthers last week.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Sydney are 4-1 in their last 5 games at this venue. Parramatta are 1-1 at this venue since 2018.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Since 2018, the Roosters are 8-2 against the Eels.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n Parramatta Eels +17.5 = $1.95<\/a><\/p>\n The Doggies are looking for a 4th straight win this Saturday. They beat the Dragons 28-10 last round and now sit 5th on the ladder. But they would love a top 4 finish.<\/p>\n The Dolphins are back after breaking a 3 game losing streak. They held off the Warriors 34-32 in golden point. But their defence needs to improve, they’ve given up 30+ pts in 2 straight games.<\/p>\n The Dogs are 9-0 at home and playing great footy.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Canterbury are 1-1 at this venue since 2018. The Dolphins are 0-1.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bulldogs are 1-0 against the Dolphins since 2018.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs -5.5 = $1.85<\/a><\/p>\n The Cowboys 3 game winning streak ended at the hands of the Broncos last week in a woeful defensive display. They gave up 42 pts in the derby. So they’ll be eager to bounce back at home this Saturday.<\/p>\n The Raiders are just outside the top 8 but have lost their last 2 games. So this is a crucial game for their chances of making the finals.<\/p>\n The Underdog is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n North Queensland are 5-5 in their last 10 games at this venue. Canberra are 1-3 at this venue since 2018.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n In the last 5 meetings, the Cowboys hold a 5-0 record against the Raiders.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n Canberra Raiders +6.5 = $1.85<\/a><\/p>\n The Tigers are looking to end a 7 game losing streak this week. They come off a 34-18 loss against the Knights and have conceded 28+ pts in all 7 losses.<\/p>\n Souths are also on a losing streak, going down in 3 straight games. They battled against the Storm last week in a 28-16 defeat. But they should be able to have success against the leaking Tigers.<\/p>\n Hard to trust the Tigers at this venue and they’re 0-7 ATS.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Wests are 1-9 in their last 10 games at this venue. South Sydney are 2-1 since 1997.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n In the last 10 meetings, the Rabbitohs have won 8 games against the Tigers.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n South Sydney Rabbitohs -5.5 = $1.90<\/a><\/p>\n After an excellent win in Melbourne, the Dragons fell back into old habits last week in a 28-10 loss against the Dogs. They fell out of the top 8 too, so this is a must-win home game against the Titans.<\/p>\n Gold Coast were terrible last week in a 44-0 loss against the Sharks at home. It was extra disappointing after a 46-18 win over the Broncos. So they must regroup on Sunday.<\/p>\n The Under is 4-0 when the Titans are playing away and hopefully both sides bring defence.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n St. George are 3-2 in their last 5 games at this venue. Gold Coast are 0-5.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n The Dragons are 3-2 against the Titans in the last 5.<\/p>\nManly-Warringah Sea Eagles (6th) vs New Zealand Warriors (14th)<\/h3>\n
