The Suns find themselves in the Top 8 more than halfway through the season, but will need to start winning on the road if they are to stay there. They get an opportunity on Saturday night against the Saints at Marvel.
Best Bet
Gold Coast need to show they can win on the road before they can be trusted.
The Suns have been outstanding at home this season, winning seven and covering in six games at Metricon or in Darwin.
It’s been the total opposite on the road though, as they have failed to win or cover a line in four games, with the smallest margin of defeat being 29 points.
Gold Coast have also struggled to hold their form off a win, only covering the line in three of fifteen after being successful in the prior game.
Eventually, under Damien Hardwick and with the level of talent on their list, this should change, but the idiom don’t try to catch a falling knife exists for a reason.
With minimal confidence, the Saints are the play in this one.

Value Bet
With Jarrod Witts out for the Suns, Rowan Marshall has his chance to really demonstrate his stamina and win plenty of footy against the inexperienced Ned Moyle.
