One of the most anticipated regular season matches of 2024, the Broncos host the Roosters at Suncorp in what shapes as a shootout between two of the top contenders to challenge Penrith for supremacy.
Best Bet
Regular season games don’t come much bigger than this. The Broncos stand out as second favourite for the title. After blowing last year’s decider, Brisbane have started 2024 hot with an irresistible attack that has defied multiple key injuries. The Roosters come off their most impressive performance in a long time and will be rallying around Luke Keary after the long-serving five-eighth announced his retirement this week.
The Broncos have been boosted with the returns of Ezra Mam and Selwyn Cobbo while Daniel Tupou and Victor Radley are back for the Roosters.
As strong as the Broncos are at Suncorp and off a big win, this is a huge spot for the Roosters and the number looks very larger.
Underdogs off scoring 60 are a perfect 4-0 ATS since 2008 while those off scoring 50 are 23-10 ATS.
The Chooks have covered four of their last five as an underdog and have won six of the last eight against Brisbane.
Getting 7.5 points, the Roosters look a juicy play.
Same Game Multi
Ezra Mam has 28 tries in 46 games and is regularly one of the biggest overs in the market.
Joseph Manu is having his best tryscoring season with seven tries in eight games.
Value Bet
Angus Crichton is starting to rediscover his best form and he looks a nice bet to score against the Broncos. Brisbane are weakest on their left and Crichton will be hitting that side. Crichton ended a long scoring drought last week and loves playing Brisbane with seven tries in 11 meetings.
