Canterbury Bulldogs vs Sydney Roosters Preview
Betting on this game appears misguided, especially with anticipated monsoonal conditions in Sydney on Friday.
Early-season big home underdogs, particularly those receiving 8 or more points, historically cover at a rate of 63%.
The Bulldogs, coming off consecutive covers and having covered the last three against the Roosters, present value.
Despite the Roosters being superior, they have a poor track record at the ground and as favourites.
Angus Crichton’s return adds firepower, boasting 31 tries in 116 starts. Canterbury’s defensive vulnerabilities, especially on the right channel, favour Daniel Tupou as a strong bet.
Blake Wilson adds to the tryscoring options.
