The Sydney Roosters are crowing right now and with their renewed confidence, they will be hoping to land a rare victory over Melbourne Storm at Allianz Stadium on Friday morning.
The Storm have won eight of their last nine games against the Roosters but with a couple of key players out injured, Melbourne might well be up against it when they head to Sydney this week.
Sydney Roosters v Melbourne Storm Tips Summary
Best Bet - Sydney Roosters -12.5 handicap @ 1.90
Alternative Bet - William Warbrick anytime tryscorer @ 2.45
Bet Builder - Mark Nawaqanitawase, Daniel Tupou & Billy Smith anytime tryscorers @ 7.50
Sydney Roosters v Melbourne Storm Prediction
Best Bet: Sydney Roosters -12.5 handicap @ 1.90
Melbourne are missing two key figures ahead of their trip to New South Wales, with Cameron Munster and Jahrome Hughes both on the sidelines.
The Storm will look to the likes of Tyran Wishart and Trent Toelau to fill the void but those are pretty substantial boots to fill.
Winning their last three games against the Cronulla Sharks, Brisbane Broncos and Parramatta Eels, the Roosters are in great form.
They have won six from seven at Allianz Stadium this season and can add Melbourne to their list of scalps on home soil this week, while also covering the handicap.
Alternative Bet: William Warbrick anytime tryscorer @ 2.45
A player who might end Friday’s game on the losing side, William Warbrick still has to be considered in the anytime tryscorer market after looking at his recent record.
Warbrick has scored seven tries in his last five games for Melbourne and, considering that form, he catches the eye at 2.45 to bag at least one try at Allianz Stadium on Friday.
