<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PUNTING PLAYS</h2>



PLAY: South Sydney Rabbitohs v Canterbury Bulldogs: To score 2+ tries &#8211; Alex Johnstone @$3.15



I was really tempted to take the -22.5 line for the Rabbitohs as I think it&#8217;ll be a riot, but all the Dogs have to do is snare a few cheap converted tries and it becomes a big margin to reel in.



The new rules are so conducive to blow out score lines as we continue to see, so I think we&#8217;re only going to see these lines get larger and larger.



The Rabbitohs left edge is absolutely lethal, and I think AJ will cruise to a few tries in dry conditions, potentially more, so the added value of the line betting is enticing.



PLAY: Melbourne Storm v Brisbane Broncos: Line: Storm -19.5 @$1.80



I&#8217;m fairly confident the Storm will win this comfortably off the back of a few losses against tough opposition. Brisbane are fielding their strongest pack in a long time, but match fitness may be a slight issue through the middle.



I&#8217;m also not confident the Broncos backline have many points in them, especially against the strongest defensive unit in the NRL. Ryan Papenhuyzen to cross for a double also took my attention.



PLAY: Parramatta Eels v Wests Tigers: Line: Eels -9.5 @$1.90



Not quite as confident on this bet, but I do think Parramatta are a far superior side who have plenty more to offer despite being unbeaten.



The Tigers are extremely underwhelming despite coming off a win. They may have a few points in them, but I think they&#8217;ll leak far more.
