Re: Australian Sports Thread (AFL, NRL)
Anything could happen here obv Penrith have a better pack on paper but their backline is only okay and halves are pretty poor with no Cleary. I wouldn't be surprised by anything from Warriors by 12 to Penrith by 30 but it depends which side is more motivated - the Warriors from last week beat the Panthers from last week, the Warriors from week 1 get wrecked by the Panthers from week 1, but the Warriors are still in camp together and that seemed to be a positive and the Panthers are still without Cleary so i'm happy taking the 6.5
I'd take Penrith to win outright if my life depended on it, but with more than a converted try start I can't say no to the Warriors as underdogs
Would have taken the unders if 38.5 was available anywhere but it isn't so gonna pass, still lean that side but not enough to bet it below 38
The game has 16-12 written all over it imo, 6.5 is a pretty handy start in what I expect to be a low scoring game but really anything could happen here
