NRL Round 1 2024 Multi Tips

Picking a ridiculous line for the bunnies, seems to boost the odds about $5. Both 2nd rowers managed to cross for the Eagles last weekend hoping history repeats and Riki can find the line. If you're feeling risky throwing another try scorer into this mix should boost you up to the 50-1 mark (Reece Walsh or Jacob Gagai is who I'll probably mix it up with)

Going through the stats for last year Suncorp was a happy hunting ground for the Broncs where they like to score points. Defense was non existent last week for the Bunnies and all things considered the Broncs defended pretty well. With that in mind I've gone Broncs 13+ and to score within 21-30. Have gone a bit of value with Piakura (particularly on Sportsbet) lining up where Haumole Olakau'atu had success last week.

Mariner looked very dangerous last week and Rabbitohs are weakest on this side. Statistically Broncos can take a bit of time to wind up, so I think Rabbitohs will stay with them until at least half time. I can see a 26-12 type scoreline here as Broncos should be able to finish on top.

Mulitalo crossed for 2+ tries 22% of games last season, here's hoping he can do it again tonight. Taking the alternate point unders, fingers crossed the Dogs struggle to cross this weekend as well. Not a bad multi to throw another try scorer into, I'll be going with Nikora which boosts this bad boy to $41 on TAB

Bulldogs were the worst team to take the field last week, but I wouldn't write them off just yet. For Bulldogs to snag a small line of 3.5, with Taaffe and Nikora to score, gets you $100 on Sportsbet, which is great value.

After a strong showing against the Knights, the Raiders are a force to reckon with this week. Xavier Savage's off season bulk-up along with his electric pace on the edge, makes him a strong contender for 2 or more against the Tigers. Joe Tapine's career-best form gets him over the line midfield. Expect the Raiders to dominate and win well.

Cowboys looked slick last week and I’m confident they’ll be too good for the Knights, especially in Townsville. If the Raiders put 28 on the Knight’s last week, over 32 points shouldn’t be an issue for the Cows.

Harry Grant is our statistically-determined tryscorer prediction of the week. With the Storm center attack ranked 3rd, and the Warriors center defense ranked 15th, Harry is well worth the $4 odds. Either team less than 12.5 might be trickier, but Warriors usually put up a decent fight, so I feel it should be close.

Manly host the Roosters at home. After a strong showing in the Las Vegas showdown against the bunnies I'm picking them to keep the momentum into round 2. Expecting to see some short breaks through the middle of the roosters defence.

This has potential to be game of the round. With big expectations on both Roosters and Manly this season, expect a tight contest. Difficult to say if it will be high or low scoring, but anything over $8 with Tommy Turbo and Dom Young is probably good value. Neither have scored yet, and they will both want to get off the mark.

With some fairly week defensive lanes from both sides this game has the potential to open up. Dolphins have the 14th ranked left edge defence in the competition opening up for a potential Ravalawa double. On the other side the dragons have 17th ranked right edge defence. Opening the door for the likes of The Hammer.
