Same Game Multi
Ryan Papenhuyzen scored a double the last time he played the Roosters while he has 14 tries in 17 matches this season.
James Tedesco is in sensational form with 10 tries in his last 15 games.
Value Bet
Billy Smith is an exceptionally talented centre and I has resulted in a good tryscoring seasons for the oft-injured midfielder with eight tries in 15 matches this year. Five of those tries have come in his last seven appearances. He is a big price to score this week against a makeshift Storm centre-pairing.
