Storm v Wests Tigers
Sun 11/5, 2pm
Try Scorer Value Tips
Fonua Pole FTS & LTS @ $81 on Bet365
Pole scores a try every 7.22 games. That number becomes every 6.1 games since 2023 (he only started his career in 2022). He’s been excellent in 2025, Api’s great at putting middle forwards through for tries and the $81 seems clear value, think fair price should be around $60-70. This price has also been creeping up to $101 at points during the week so look out for that too!
Sea Eagles v Sharks

Braden Uele FTS 2nd half @ $67 on Neds
We did also love McInness at $81 (365 – fts, lts) but we’ve gone with Uele as the official pick for this game.
Scores the first try in the 2nd half every 29 games. Strong ball runner, second game back after injury and Manly has a relatively weak pack. Love the $67 on offer here.
Eels v Dolphins
Thu 8/5, 7.50pm
Try Scorer Value Tips
Mark Nicholls & Josh Kerr FTS2H @ $67 on TAB
Mentioning both because TAB crunch in the prices once a few people hit them. All 3 have had decent-good try scoring stats in the last 12 month. Up against the Eels, love the $67 price tag.
Knights v Titans
Fri 9/5, 6pm
Try Scorer Value Tips
Tino Faasuamaleaui ATS @ $7.75 on Sportsbet
Career strike rate would have him shorter than $5, one of the best try scoring middle forwards of all time. I don’t love tipping ATS for middles but this is a super juicy price. $7 on Dabble decent too if SB price is gone.
Souths have been under this number in all 9 games this year.
Broncos were under in 5/9 games but the 3 games they went over were blowout wins in their favour.
Rabbitohs v Broncos
Fri 9/5, 8pm
Try Scorer Value Tips
Kobe Hetherington FTS & LTS @ $67 on Bet365
Horrible career try scoring stats. I still like his price up against a Rabbitohs side that hasn’t had any consistency, on the scoreboard or with their players in their side. More the $67 price tag than the player here but I do like his running style, sometimes it’s a case of getting on a player before they score a couple and their price gets crunched in for future weeks!
- Alternate total match points under 50.5 on Bet365 @ 1.75
Souths have been under this number in all 9 games this year.
Broncos were under in 5/9 games but the 3 games they went over were blowout wins in their favour.
Broncos on a bit of a slide at the moment losing 3 of their last 4, so I don’t think they’re likely to blow out Souths on the road.
I expect Broncos to try and grind out a win here, and get their season back on track after some really average performances lately.
Raiders v Bulldogs
Sat 10/5, 3pm
Try Scorer Value Tips
Owen Pattie LTS @ $51 on Bet365
There were some decent picks at $67s but we’re worried about middle forwards switching between the starting lineup and the bench so we’ve gone back to the well with Pattie! Big 1 v 2 clash on a dry track – love the $51s for Pattie who looks like he could crash over from dummy half or score off a linebreak or an offload!
Dragons v Warriors
Sat 10/5, 5.30pm
Try Scorer Value Tips
Jacob Laban LTS @ $67 on Bet365
Laban should go on to an edge later in the game with Niukore moving to the middle. Around 2x fair price.
Cowboys v Panthers
Sat 10/5, 7.35pm

Jake Clifford FTS & LTS @ $51 on Bet365
Clifford’s got three green lights on our odds comparison tool. Fair price for FTS probably closer to $34, our model has him at $38, his career strike rate would have him at $20. In Townsville too. Love this play.
