NRL Tips – Dragons v Eels

Dead rubbers have been points bonanzas over the last few seasons and on a warm Wollongong Sunday, we should see plenty of tries when the Dragons host the Eels.

These two met in a dead rubber in the second last round and we saw a 44-40 clash where tackling was simply not a priority.

We should see something very similar here.

Day games are 44-26 to the over this year including a perfect three-from-three last year.

The over also hits at 66% when teams off a loss of 30 or more play a team outside the Top 8.

The over is 9-5 when the Dragons are off a loss of 30-plus while it is 33-20 when the Eels play away from CommBank.

Betting the over and laddering up to 71-plus is the way to bet this game.

The Dragons are 19-13 against the spread off a loss of 13-plus while the Eels are 19-36 against the number away from CommBank.

Tyrell Sloan has nine tries in his last 10 games and is the one reliable tryscoring threat for the Dragons.

Tallyn Da Silva is Parramatta’s top tryscorer this year with six tries in his last five games.

Kyle Flanagan has just a single try this year but is a handy tryscorer who has 13 four-pointers in 64 games. He scored when these teams met last year and in what presents as a loose game, his ability to backup should put him right in the frame for a try.
