The saints will probably cover the start here, -4.5, but i am going to back them -2.5 in the 2nd half handicap in case the broncos go with them early and fade in the 2nd 40 min. without carlaw, meyers and no recognised goal kicker [M.Devere] and tallis not 100% they might struggle.

The raiders will cover the start easily against the cowboys, +10.5 won't be enough, after they lost morrison, then bowman and campion and now sing, they wont come close.

Roosters will have no trouble against the eels, -9.5 is a gimmie as the eels have nothing, lucky hindmarch is there because it could be anything from 40-50 pt win.

Sharks should win but the 10.5 could go either way, with kimmorely out and peachy only 50/50 chance of playing and g.bird suspended again, gives the warriors a rough, VERY ROUGH chance.

Manly and W/tigers, what a pair of turnstyle teams, could be another 70 pt game again, manly at home -2.5 maybe, as they have less trouble scoring pts than the w/tigers do and they have lost S.Prince. [wont be betting on this]

Bulldogs wont have any trouble -5.5 against the storm, storm away are not much touble to the better teams ant wont get close.

Penrith should cover the +13.5 that souths have, with their players back,Campbell and Roberts at the halves [R.Wesser out]
