NRL Tips - New Zealand v Cronulla

Wahs fever has swept across New Zealand but in front of a packed Mt Smart Stadium, the Warriors might be a touch oversubscribed this week.

Underdogs are always a bet in Round 1 and the Sharks are no different with underdogs getting at least a try covering at 64%.

The Sharks have won 10 of the last 14 against the Warriors and have covered six of the last nine.

This looks a bit of a trap spot for the Warriors. They have covered just one of their last six ass a favourite and have failed to cover four straight home night games. The loss of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is also massive as he does so much unseen stuff at the back. When he played last year, the Warriors covered 75% of the time. When he was absent, the Warriors covered at just 33%,

Cronulla have issues against the elite teams but the Warriors may not be all that elite.

Teig Wilton is an excellent tryscoring backrower. When starting in the backrow, he has 12 in 37 games. He has crossed in four of his last 10. The price about Wilton is just out-and-out wrong.
