The Roosters and Broncos, representing Australia’s two most rounded sporting cities, cap the famous Las Vegas double header in a match between two teams who will be well in premiership contention this year.
Best Bet
What a mammoth game we have to cap the Vegas double-header with the ascendant Roosters and title second faves the Broncos squaring off.
The Roosters have one of the deepest and most talented squads in the NRL. Big names will miss first grade this year.
The Broncos have been hit hard by four notable departures.
Brisbane are all clear for this week while the Roosters will have no Dom Young due to injury.
The Broncos won the only match last year 32-10 but the Roosters have won five of the last 10 clashes.
The Roosters look the best play in this one. Underdogs cover at 58% in Round 1. Underdogs of 3.5 or more cover at 64%
Sydney getting the points is a wonderful bet.
Same Game Multi
Daniel Tupou has double digit tries in 10 of the last 11 and likely comes up against the incompetent Jesse Arthars.
Reece Walsh is a big-game player and loves to lair on the big stage so this is set up perfectly for him.
Value Bet
Nat Butcher is not a player with a huge strike rate but over the last two seasons he has 15 tries in 49 games. He plays on an edge and will likely be running at Brendan Piakura, an edge defender who can be beat. He will come up a big price.
