Best Bet

Penrith +12.5
Line

$1.90

The Warriors have been gifted two points by the NRL by being handed a home game in Auckland against the four-time defending premiers just three days after Origin II in Perth. Ivan Cleary has decided to rest Penrith’s five-strong Origin contingent, giving the Warriors a huge inside run to the two premiership points.

The line is a different matter completely though and given its size, it is hard to pass on Penrith getting 12.5 points.

Penrith have a great record against New Zealand with an 8-1 record in the last nine that includes seven covers.

Interstate underdogs of at least 10 points cover at 67% during the Origin period.

Penrith are 9-2 ATS as an underdog, they have covered three of four getting a start of at least a try and they are 20-9 ATS against Top 4 opposition.

The Warriors are 7-13 ATS as a home favourite and have covered just four of 16 at home laying more than a converted try.

The plus is the play.
