NRL Week 6 / Super XV Round 9

Warriors -5.5 @ 4.25 Centrebet
The Sea Eagles were fortunate to beat the Sharks as the home side bombed as they should have closed the game out. While Watmough returns for them, and should give them some spark, they have been ordinary this year. The Warriors though have come to life in their last 2 games, as they beat the Roosters quite well last week. Some concern about their away form, as they do tend to underperform on the road, but they have some confidence and momentum here, which gives them a good chance of winning this one.

Cowboys -13.5 @ 3.00 Centrebet
Raiders have lost 4 straight as they struggle to get their halves combination right. Thought Orford is out, going to Townsville when you are out of form is a tough ask, and like the home team with the little blokes, Thurston and Bowen to catch the big Raiders pack off guard, and like them to cause them plenty of problems. The Raiders lack organisation and direction without Campese, Tongue and Dugan there to lead them forward, so like the Cowboys to win this one well.

Roosters win by 1-12 margin @ 3.00 Centrebet
Like the Roosters to bounce back here as they need a win to stay in touch with the leaders. They were ordinary against the Warriors last week, but they should lift here against a good defensive side that the Broncos are. However they have had to make plenty of tackles this season because of their high mistake rate, and with wet conditions in Gosford, then they are likely to have even more problems with their ball handling. There is only so much that you can hold a team out, and believe the Roosters will use the kicking of Pearce to keep them pegged back in their own 22, and look for the mistake to capitalise on. The Broncos will be valiant but like the Roosters to do enough to edge them here.
