The sharks should win easily, covering the start.
Raiders will beat manly as it's their easiest home game for a while with wins against eels R4,knights R7 ,losing to penrith R2, broncos R9 and they have the wood on MANLY, winning the last 7.
Knights/storm is a 50/50 with the home ground advantage the knights - just.
I think the warriors can win, the roosters have fitzgibbon,hodges,crocker and flannery backing up from origin, wing and minichello stood down, hegarty injured and morley suspended, the warriors have won 4/10 against the roosters, 3/7 at the s.f.s and beat them last time they met.
I think the bulldogs can win a high scoring game, they play penrith very well and the panthers win against the cowboys was sluggish.
eels to win here, w/tigers very rarely win as favourites ,i remember the time during origin against the "baby broncos" they started fav and lost 28-14, plus a few other games as well.with smith dropping 5 players and FINALLY putting m.witt in at half [ they won 11/12 with him there last year]i'll take the punt on a form reversal @ $2.70


cheers
