Featured Tip from Mike Wilson

Pick Details

Sport / league:: NRL
Event / fixture:: Gold Coast Titans vs. Penrith Panthers
Event date: Sat, 6 Jul 2013 at 7:00 PM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Titans @ 1.88 (Pinnacle)
Tip Result:: Loss

The NRL makes a special trip to TIO Stadium in Darwin for the clash between the Titans and the Panthers. In a game expected to boast a temperature of about 24 degrees, the boys from the Gold Coast should be well suited to the tropical conditions. The Titans certainly shouldn’t be complaining about the 6 day turnaround from last week’s loss to the Knights when they spent most of their time standing behind the posts watching the Knights goal kickers before suffering a 46-16 defeat.
The Panthers are coming off a win and whilst I don’t want to detract from their victory we have to recognise that it was a home game against the Dragons who hold the penultimate spot on the competition ladder. The Panthers are a different side away from home and their only away win this year was also against the Dragons.
I’m taking the Titans with one of the main deciding factors being the aforementioned weather conditions which should go against the Penrith side who are based at the foot of the Blue Mountains which itself is generally 2-3 degrees colder than Sydney city.
