Night unders have been cash money all season, hitting at just under 71%, with night unders currently on a 25-3 run. With these two teams playing, the under shapes as one of the best bets of Round 22.

Both of these teams are in huge under spots too, particularly the Bulldogs.

The under is 18-4 when Canterbury are off conceding 12 or fewer and 7-1 when they are off conceding six or less. The under is 30-16 when the Bulldogs are off a win and 16-8 when that win is by 10 or more. The under lobs at nearly 60% when Canterbury are favoured.

The under is 4-1 when Melbourne are an underdog while the under is 4-0 when the Storm are an outsider at AAMI.

The under ticks every box here.

Canterbury have conceded 12 or fewer in five of six while they have topped 20 just three times since Round 6. Melbourne are without two of their key playmakers and have been held to six or fewer in two of their last four games.

Jacob Kiraz loves playing Melbourne with five tries in five games.

Matt Burton has a great tryscoring record in the centres with 15 tries in 25 appearances.

Lachlan Galvin has copped a hard time of it in the press but he has unquestionably been one of Canterbury’s best this year and he knows his way to the tryline. Galvin has six tries in 18 games this season and 10 in 32 since joining the Bulldogs. The Storm lack lateral movement on their edges so would be looking to him to break through.
