The St George Illawarra Dragons come into this clash on the back of a shock loss to the Newcastle Knights and it really is tough to back them off that performance. The South Sydney Rabbitohs have been poor in recent weeks, but they are still 10-5 against the line as away underdogs for a clear profit.
There is very little between these two sides and the absence of Patrick Dangerfield really does swing this game in favour of the Sydney Swans. Sydney have won six of their past eight games as away favourites for a clear profit and they are 5-3 against the line in this scenario for a clear profit.
The Melbourne Storm have a simply outstanding record away from home – they have won nine of their past ten games as away favourites and they are an impressive 6-4 against the line in this scenario. The North Queensland Cowboys have lost their past four games against the Melbourne Storm.
This is the first game of the season in the English Championship and it really would not surprise if it was a fairly scrappy start to the season. Both sides struggled to score goals in the first half last season, but have not problems finding the back of the net in the second half. $2 is excellent value.
