Roosters vs Tigers NRL betting tips & best odds – Rd 23, 2022

The Sydney Roosters take on the Wests Tigers at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the main event for Super Saturday in the NRL. The match is likely to be the last played at the SCG for some time, as the Roosters’ next home game will be the opening of the brand new Allianz Stadium next door, so you can be sure they will want to go out with a bang. The Tigers put forward a dismal showing in Tamworth against Cronulla in their last start, and it might only get worse if you look at recent history.

The Roosters are in the midst of a five-match winning run, with the latest scalp the biggest of the lot. The Cowboys are likely to finish second, but the Chooks were so strong that they should feel as though they can repeat that effort if they clash in a finals game next month. It looked odd early last week when they were such clear favourites for that match, but the online bookmakers had it spot on, and Sydney’s $1.06 price for their match against the Tigers feels spot on too.

The Roosters have won 19 of their last 21 matches against the Tigers, dating back to the 2010 season. To put that into perspective, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has just two losses against the Tigers as a member of the Roosters. Incredible.

The Roosters up front with JWH and Matt Lodge have been dominant in recent weeks and the Tigers will put up little resistance. Wests have given up the most yardage as a defensive unit this season and it’s hard to see this being a game were the Roosters don’t march their way into scoring positions with consummate ease.

The 13+ margin at is just $1.40 but it will be heavily backed. The line of -21.5 will also be given a good nudge by the punters, as the Roosters have covered their handicap in three of the last four games between these two teams.

Ladbrokes also has a market for a Roosters win by 30 or more points at $2.80, which feels like a great option as a leg in a same game multi.

This game unfortunately looks as though it will be nothing but a tune-up for the Roosters before they run into some bigger fish in the coming weeks. The Tigers had their brief shot in the arm a few weeks back, but it now looks as though they will be limping to the finish line for season 2022.

Key matchup: James Tedesco vs Daine Laurie

James Tedesco has been nothing short of brilliant over the past month as he stakes his claim for a second Dally M Medal. Daine Laurie is the Tigers’ most exciting young player at the back and he produces moments in the game that get you off your seat. It might blow out on the scoreboard, so fans should just enjoy two magnificent fullbacks.

The Roosters running up a cricket score in their final game at the SCG only feels right, so take the 30+ margin at the $2.80 price.
