St. George Illawarra Dragons vs North Queensland Cowboys Odds
St. George Illawarra Dragons vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview
The Dragons getting a big start is the bet of the week and will be one of the bets of the year. It is astonishing they are getting so many points back at Kogarah off a humiliating loss against a poor travelling team. Home underdogs of a try or more in the opening four rounds cover at 65% while home teams off a loss of 38 or more cover at 62%. Shane Flanagan will have put the vinegar on this week and they will be ready. The Cowboys have covered just 10 of 31 interstate and interstate favourites of a try or more in the opening four rounds cover at just 31%. A Red V ambush is on the cards.
Ben Hunt has 14 tries in 48 games and is over the odds in a game the Dragons are expected to dig in on. Kyle Feldt has scored in 10 of his last 13 games. Mikaele Ravalawa has 64 tries in 88 NRL games and has scored 21 in his last 23. Zac Laybutt looks electric and has five tries in his six NRL games.
