The Panthers host the Dolphins to kick off Sunday’s triple-header and the visiting team are not without a chance against the three-time defending premiers.
Best Bet
Penrith remain the team to beat in 2024 but we are likely a week off seeing them put the pedal to the metal and push hard for a fourth straight title.
Nathan Cleary returns this week but Dylan Edwards and Isaah Yeo are being rested while there is a high chance that Jahrome Luai, Brian To’o and Liam Martin join them.
The Panthers are a super team at home and tend to be underated but when favoured by at least two converted tries they cover at just under 50%.
The Dolphins are 11-6 ATS getting a start of at least eight points and 11-6 ATS off conceding 26-plus points. They have covered three of their last four interstate.
Don’t sleep on the Dolphins this week – they can win this one.

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has 24 tries in 28 games since joining the Dolphins.
Value Bet
Max Plath is an underrated tryscoring prospect who has four tries in his 15 NRL appearances. He scored on average once every two games in the Q-Cup so he knows his way to the chalk. He is a very big price.
