Regular season games don’t come much bigger with hated rivals the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs squaring up at the re-opening of the fabled Sydney Football Stadium.
Best Bet
Boy oh boy the Sydney Football Stadium could not be welcomed back in any better style than the [insert Matt Nable tone] Roosters and the Rabbits, two old rivals, where feuds are plentiful and hatred deep.
The Bunnies have been well backed here and have won four straight against the Roosters but the Chooks are playing better football at the moment and they will be well and truly up for this after last year’s spiteful clash.
The value in this game rests in the total market and avoiding the tired troupe that a big game will be defensive battle.
The over is unquestionably the play here. These teams play high scoring games. The over hits at 61% when these teams play and has hit in five of the last six.
The over has hit in nine of the last 11 Roosters night games and hits at 59% when they are off a win. The over hits at 56% when Souths play at night.
Same Game Multi
Alex Johnston has 27 tries this year as he chases back-to-back 30-try seasons and has crossed in eight straight.
Joseph Suaalii has scored in eight of his last 11 in a stellar first full season.
Joseph Manu has scored in his last two against Souths and has plenty to play for after he had his cheekbone fractured last year in this corresponding game.
Value Bet
Angus Crichton has been in great tryscoring form with four tries in his last five games. He will be running at myth Jaxson Paulo. Crichton looks huge overs.
