The first six-team NRLW finals series kicks off this week with the Roosters and Broncos enjoying the week off and the Knights hosting the Titans and Cowboys hosting the Sharks. Some big names return across the board with Bo Vette-Welsh, Georgia Grey and Jakiya Whtitfeld all returning.
Georgia Grey is a superstar on the rise. She has scored eight tries in 10 games this year. She is back from a HIA standdown and has been named in the centres but it would not surprise if she played wing. Sheridan Gallagher is a elite tryscorer with 25 tries in 30 NRLW appearances.
Recommended Bets
Best: Gold Coast +8.5 ($1.90)
Next: Gold Coast Win ($3.10)
Tryscorer: Georgia Grey ($17 First, $3.80 Anytime)
SGM: Georgia Grey/Sheridan Gallagher Try ($6.08)
Cronulla have a terrible record against elite team and a worse record when playing late aftenoon or evening so they are a huge lay in this second final on the road against the Cowboys. Despite having all the talent in the world, the Sharks are 1-3 against teams above them this year with their solitary win coming against the Knights when Newcastle blew a huge lead inside the final 10 minutes.
Emma Manzelmann is a highly undervalued tryscorer who has crossed three times in 11 games all at big odds this year. Jakiya Whitfeld is a genuine superstar who has 10 tres in 17 games since joining the Cowboys and is their most dangerous tryscoring option.
Recommended Bets
Best: North Queensland Win ($1.78)
Next: North Queensland 13+ ($4.40)
Tryscorer: Emma Manzelann ($19 First, $4.50 Anytime)
SGM: Emma Manzelmann Try/Jakiya Whitfeld Try ($11.50)
