Sharks vs Dragons NRL Round 11 betting tips & odds

Sharks vs Dragons NRL beting preview

Six weeks ago this game looked like it should be a slam dunk for the Sharks, but the St George Illawarra Dragons secured a 14-point win on that occasion as they started to turn their season around.

The Saints have since won four of their last six and now sit just one win outside the top eight.

Their differential will keep them outside even if they secure the two points this week, but to even be in this position feels like a miracle.

Sure, the Cronulla Sharks beat up on the Warriors last round, but their $1.80 favouritism in this bout is fraught with danger.

The 56 points they conceded against Penrith still stick solid in the minds of most punters, and the Dragons’ improving attack will cause their edges some issues.

The $2.05 on offer for the Saints has come in from as far out as $2.85 at some NRL bookies, but it is still good value.

The Red V were lucky to beat Canterbury last week, but their last clash against the Sharks suggests they will be ready to go on Saturday.

With both teams realising the high stakes for their finals chances, you’d have to think the unders for the 40.5 line will be thrown into a lot of multis.

Now, big men barging over to score is one of the best sights in the NRL, but imagine if one of them was the first tryscorer three times in a season with half the year still to go.

Braden Hamlin-Uele holds that honour for the Sharks, and you can get $34 for him to do it again.

However, if you are looking at the Saints, Matt Dufty at $15 might be a candidate. His run of form kickstarted in the corresponding game six weeks ago and he did score in the first minute last Saturday.
