Read on for NRL Round 17 early mail and value betting leans for each game…
NRL Round 17: Sharks v Storm, Thursday night
Early prediction: Sharks
The value: Sharks H2H at TopSport
- Talakai is the only out for the Sharks and Tracey is a very handy replacement
- Storm are missing Munster, Grant and Kaufusi on top of the already absent Welch, Jennings and R Smith
- Storm struggled last weekend against Manly.
NRL Round 17: Knights v Souths, Friday night
Early prediction: Souths, just
The value: Knights +4.5 at TopSport
- Ponga is out, but the Knights showed last week that his absence can open up the game for their halves.
- The Knights are 3 from 12 with Ponga and 2 from 3 without him
- Souths are without Cook, Murray and Arrow due to Origin, while injury has ruled out Sele and Graham.
NRL Round 17: Wests vs Eels, Saturday night
Early prediction: Eels
The value: Eels -11.5 at TopSport
- Wests are in a rut and I am not sure Interim Coach Kimmorley has the experience to get them out of it.
- Eels’ premiership credentials took a hit with another big loss to a strong team last week
- With the game at Leichardt, Wests are a chance of turning up with the right attitude and keeping it close early, but the Eels should run away with it in the end.
NRL Round 17: Broncos v Dragons, Sunday afternoon
Early prediction: Dragons, just
The value: Dragons H2H at TopSport
- The Broncos squad has been decimated by Origin and injury with Haas, Capewell, Carrigan, Flegler, Farmworth, Jensen and Te Maire Martin all missing.
- Dragons are missing Ben Hunt, far and away their best player.
- The Dragons’ young halves can use this opportunity to show what they can do.
