There is a heavyweight showdown in the NRL to look forward to on Friday as Brisbane Broncos prepare to host Sydney Roosters at Suncorp Stadium.
It has been a torrid spell for the Broncos, who are currently on a six-game NRL losing streak ahead of the Roosters' arrival in Queensland.
The Roosters have been somewhat inconsistent, but against a Broncos side who have been conceding simply too many points, Sydney will fancy their chances of heading back to New South Wales with the spoils.
Best Bet - Sydney Roosters -6.5 handicap @ 1.86
Alternative Bet - Mark Nawaqanitawase two or more tries @ 2.25
Bet Builder - Sydney Roosters to win, Hugo Savala & Kotoni Staggs anytime tryscorers @ 10.00
Best Bet: Sydney Roosters -6.5 handicap @ 1.86
While the Broncos will welcome their Origin stars back for Friday’s game, their return might not be enough to stop the Roosters securing the win and covering the handicap at Suncorp Stadium.
The Roosters have won nine of their last 12 matches against Brisbane, while the Broncos have not beaten Sydney at Suncorp Stadium since 2019.
With Brisbane currently on a six-game losing streak, and having conceded an unenviable 218 points in that time, the Roosters are tipped to win and cover the spread in this one.
Alternative Bet: Mark Nawaqanitawase two or more tries @ 2.25
One of the top finishers in the NRL right now, it's hard to look past Mark Nawaqanitawase scoring at least a couple of tries in this game against a fragile Broncos defence.
The former rugby union star has scored two or more tries in five of his last seven appearances in the NRL and it would be little surprise to see the Roosters winger bag at least a brace on Friday.
Sydney Roosters to win
Hugo Savala anytime tryscorer
Kotoni Staggs anytime tryscorer
Pays 10.00
This three-fold bet builder continues with the theme that the Roosters will triumph this week, while Hugo Savala and Kotoni Staggs are both backed in the anytime tryscorer market.
Scoring in three of his last five appearances, Savala is tipped to go over for at least one more on Friday, as is Staggs, who has scored six tries in his last six games at Suncorp Stadium.
