There are under angles everywhere in this one with a low-scorer expected as the Panthers face a run without both of their starting halves.
Best Bet
Penrith have been the benchmark this season but a nasty new reality has emerged with both starting halves out. The Panthers are a cohesive team with high standards so they are likely to rely on their defence to win games while their attack will undoubtedly regress.
That plays right into a game script that suggests the under is the bet.
This is a huge under spot for the Panthers at any rate. The under is 11-2 when Penrith are off a loss and 12-3 when the Panthers are off conceding 24-plus. The under hits at 68% when the Panthers are on the road and 9-4 when they are off being held to 10 or fewer.
The under is 24-11 when the Raiders are at home and 7-2 when they are a home underdog.
This shapes as a lockdown, scrappy affair.
Same Game Multi
Sebastian Kris is an underrated try scorer who has been in very good nick this year. Kris has 10 tries in 12 starts this year and has scored four tries in his last three games.
Izack Tago has 12 tries this year and has crossed three times in his last four games.
Value Bet
Things happen around Hudson Young. He has seven tries this season and five have come in the last 10 weeks. He runs some excellent angles and will be looking to pick off the Panthers inexperienced halves.
