Gold Coast pulled themselves off the bottom of the table with a win over New Zealand last week but face a monumental test back home when they host the white-hot Melbourne Storm.
Best Bet
Gold Coast have a giant mountain to climb this week when they host Melbourne.
We have moved outside of the first two months of the season so big home underdogs are no longer the play and as such betting Melbourne laying the big number is the bet.
The Storm are 13-2 in their last 15 with the Titans, scoring at least 28 in 11 of those. In their last four meetings, the Storm have run in 32 points.
This is a nice spot for the Storm too. Interstate favourites off scoring 50-plus cover at 69%.
Melbourne dominate poor teams with a 25-14 cover record against teams outside the Top 8 while they are 13-7 ATS off scoring 40 or more.
With the Titans covering just 10 of 26 off a win and just 9 of 22 at home, the Storm can be bet with confidence laying the big number.
Same Game Multi
Ryan Papenhuyzen has 52 tries in 61 NRL starts.
Will Warbrick is a plus-matchup against the horrific Titans left-edge defence.
Eli Katoa is also attacking the right and has nine tries in his last 18 games.
Value Bet
Cameron Munster has absolutely dominated the Titans when the teams have met, scoring 11 tries in 11 games. He is looking fit and enters this off scoring his first try of the season. Munster is huge odds to score against a poor defensive team like the Titans.
