Preview:
It has been the season from hell for the Gold Coast Titans and they sacked coach Gareth Brennan following their heavy loss to the Penrith Panthers last weekend.
The new coach bounce can offer be a positive, look at Carlton in the AFL, but it really is extremely difficult to see the Titans beating the Melbourne Storm.
The Titans have won only three of their past 12 games in front of their home fans, but they are 5-2 against the line as home underdogs.
Melbourne made it eight wins on the trot with a dominant win over the Cronulla Shark’s in Cameron Smith’s 400th game and it would now take a late season meltdown for them now to claim another minor premiership.
The Storm have won nine of their past 12 games as away favourites, but they are only a flat 6-6 against the line in this scenario.
This is a game that Melbourne should win, but it would not surprise to see the Titans produce an improved effort and they can cover the line of 10.5 points.
Tip: Melbourne Storm at $1.39
Value Tip: First Try Scorer: Sandor Earl at $8.50
