The Sydney Roosters go in heavily favoured in the opening game of the second week of the NRL finals but that line does look to be inflated. The Chooks won both games this season by double digits but were travelling better in both and this is not a great spot for Trent Robinson\u2019s team with the Roosters covering at just 42% against Top 8 teams while they are 17-22 against the number when favoured by more than a converted try. The Sharks have covered four of their last five getting at least 6.5 points while they are 16-7 against the spread as an underdog in night games. With Cronulla 11-6 against the spread off conceding 16 or fewer and having covered three of four at Allianz, the Sharks are an excellent bet getting 7.5 points while they are great value to win the game. The Roosters concede 40% of tries down their right edge so looking to Cronulla left-side players. Teig Wilton has scored more tries this season than in any other and he has crossed in two of his last five against the Roosters. Ronaldo Mulitalo has nine tries in 10 games against the Roosters and gets a plus-matchup against defensive liability Mark Nawaqanitawase.<\/p>\n

Tips<\/strong>
\nBest: Cronulla +7.5 ($1.90)
\nNext: Cronulla Win ($3.00)
\nTryscorer: Teig Wilton ($26 First, $4.75 Anytime)
\nSGM: Teig Wilton Try\/Ronaldo Mulitalo Try ($9.16)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
