NRL ROUND 5 – SATURDAY & SUNDAY MATCHES

 

The treble of the weekend arrived in Round 4 and it was Josh Morris and Blake Ferguson that had as running to check the Betolimp betting balance after a few good exotic plays as well. Let’s try and keep the good times rolling into Week 5.

 

GOLD COAST TITANS vs NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS – Sat 10 Apr @ 07:00, Gold Coast

 

Weighed and found wanting – that is what the case was for the Titans in Round 4. After some good form they were tested by the Raiders and came up short. This week they go down a weight-division in facing the Knights. The whole of Newcastle will be toasting the return of Kalyn Ponga but this is offset somewhat by the loss of Kurt Mann, Mitchell Pearce and Tex Hoy for the visitors. I’m expecting the hosts to get the job done but determining the level of ease with which they pick up the “W” is a far tougher task.

 

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS vs MELBOURNE STORM – Sat 10 Apr @ 09:30, Sydney

 

On the attacking front the Bulldogs have been absolutely dire with a measly 16 points amassed over 4 outings. Now they have to steal themselves for the mighty Storm who are sure to be all business when they arrive in Sydney on Saturday. It promises to be a long day at the office for the Dogs.

 

SYDNEY ROOSTERS vs CRONULLA SHARKS – Sat 10 Apr @ 11:35, Sydney

 

Despite all their injuries setbacks and a fiery start from the Warriors last week the Chooks were able to pull themselves together and conclude a comfortable victory in the end. The Sharks have enjoyed patchy form but come into the SCG clash having feasted on the Cowboys in the opening half of their Round 4 encounter. It’s a whole different ball game beating the Tricolors but it’s time to find out if these Sharks are destined to keep chomping on the little ones in the kiddies splash pool or whether they can fend for themselves out in the big blue.

 

WEST TIGERS vs NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS – Sun 11 Apr @ 08:05, Sydney

 

The Cowboys have pitched up to this 2021 gun-fight with nothing more than their bare hands it seems. The North Queenslanders have only notched up more than 10 points on one occasion thus far this season. Apart from their Round1 loss to the Panthers the Cowboys have been dismissed by the Dragons, Titans and Sharks. (The latter two comprehensive hidings). The Tigers have only won one game but have shown their attacking ability. This rodeo isn’t going to end well for the visitors.

 

PARRAMATTA EELS vs ST GEORGE DRAGONS – Sun 11 Apr @ 10:15, Sydney

 

Dragons fans will be too weary to start dreaming of bigger things from their team. Many were expecting the Saints to struggle but they are sitting pretty at present with 3 wins from four outings. The Eels have gone one better in terms of victories but have struggled in patches to hit their very best attacking form. I see this as a clash between the plucky entertainers and the diesels engine machine that often gets the job done ugly.
