Roosters vs. Storm prediction, tip, best bet
There are plenty of reasons to believe Melbourne will lose this game.
They are without Ryan Papenhuyzen and Cameron Munster, they are in underwhelming form, and they are on a short turnaround.
However, Craig Bellamy's ability to get his team firing after a loss is unmatched. They will almost certainly be up for this one.
The Roosters' inconsistency this year makes them tough to tip, as well.
Prediction: Storm by 10
Best bet: First half handicap - Storm -2.5 ($2.09)
Broncos vs. Eels prediction, tip, best bet
Playing at Suncorp ... on a Friday night ... against an out-of-form side – this screams of a big Broncos win.
With their Origin stars back and rested, Brisbane should be able to extend their winning streak to six matches.
We should expect plenty of points in this match, with Parramatta's backline nothing to be sneezed at.
Mitch Moses' return is set to be a boost to their attacking output, although it's tough to see how they overcome their opponents on this occasion.
Prediction: Broncos by 22
Best bet: Over 49.5 match points ($1.91)
Rabbitohs vs. Sharks prediction, tip, best bet
The Sharks have a nice run-in heading to the finals, which starts with a clash against the struggling Rabbitohs on Saturday.
South Sydney continues to get hammered with bad injury luck, and the club have named an understrength side for this weekend.
Cronulla will need to be careful they don't get complacent.
If they can keep the errors to a minimum, this should be a straightforward win for the Sharks, with their forward pack feasting.
Prediction: Sharks by 14
Best bet: Addin Fonua-Blake to score a try ($3.80)
