The Dragons and Bulldogs kick off Super Saturday and St George Illawarra present as exceptional value at Kogarah.
Best Bet
The Dragons have shortened significantly in this one and it is easy to understand why with the Red V a huge runner in this.
The Dragons two weeks ago were 7.5-point home underdogs but are into 4.5 points with some books now at 3.5.
Canterbury have certainly had the best of St George Illawarra of late, winning the last three and covering six of the last eight. But there are angles everywhere here for the Dragons.
Home underdogs of four or more in the opening four rounds of the season cover at 66%. Round 1 underdogs of four or more cover at 64%. Favourites have covered at just 29% the last three seasons.
The angles around the Dragons here are good too. St George Illawarra are 10-6 against the spread at Kogarah while the Saints cover at 57% in NSW.
With the Bulldogs missing key players Jacob Kiraz and Josh Curran, the Dragons can be bet with confidence both at the plus and head-to-head.
Same Game Multi
Christian Tuipulotu finished last season in exceptional form with eight tries in his last eight games.
Jacob Preston is a solid tryscoring edge with 12 tries in 39 NRL games.
Value Bet
Kyle Flanagan is an underrated tryscorer who is excellent value here against his former club. Flanagan crossed five times last season and scored in the pre-season clash against the Roosters. He has scored in one of his three clashes with the Bulldogs.
