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



PLAY: Bulldogs v Storm: Ryan Papenhuyzen 2+ tries @$3.40



While it may appear somewhat to be chasing last week&#8217;s four tries in 11 minutes, I think this will be a riot with Melbourne also covering the -28.5 line. Papenhuyzen&#8217;s support play is phenomenal in regard to positioning, but add in his blistering speed and he&#8217;s finishing off just about every clean bust as we saw last week.



PLAY: Warriors v Sea Eagles: Warriors -7.5 line @$1.90



While AFB is a big loss, the Warriors have a fairly dominant forward pack and come up against an underwhelming Sea Eagles side who have conceded 122 points in four games. Their attack has been found out without Tommy Turbo, so I think the Warriors have enough points in them to cover the line.



PLAY: Tigers v Cowboys: Tigers -9.5 line @$1.90



The Tigers return to Leichhardt Oval where they&#8217;ll commemorate the life of Wests legend Tommy Raudonikis. I&#8217;m not big at all on the Tigers this season, but their attack is building well enough. It should be a sunny afternoon perfect for expansive football, and they can put plenty on a frail Cowboys edge defence.



Multi = $12.27
