Tip Result:: Loss

The NRL heads to Bathurst for a Saturday arvo match between the Panthers and the Sharks and the weather looks unlikely to be very uninviting at a predicted 12 degrees.
I had posted my best bet for this game on www.aussportstipping.com very early in the week as there are plenty of factors in this game that point to a high scoring affair.
Firstly, the Sharks who clearly want to put this horror season behind them asap, showed last week they would rather play touch footy than first grade Rugby League and will no doubt leak points as well as acquiring a few of their own with some adlib attacking plays.
Secondly the neutral venue; when neither team has a home ground advantage which makes the game play out a bit more ‘loosely’ for want of a better word.
Imagine when, part way through the second half, the Panthers are on top, controlling the game and as a Sharks’ player, all you’re doing is thinking about the warm bus trip back to Penrith rather than focusing on the defensive task at hand.
The Panthers could also benefit from the early return of Peter Wallace who has been named in the side to make a return from injury. If it is deemed that Wallace is still unfit to play, I’m sure Matt Moylan will have few problems slotting into the number 6 jersey with Soward pushing into halfback.
The Panthers have a plethora of men that can cover the outside backs if Moylan does move into the halves and no doubt Watene-Zelezniak would play fullback with Lewis Brown shifting into the centres.
So get on the ‘Over’ option in the total match points line on Bet 365 and also get on the Panthers to cover the -8.5 line as it could be quite a hefty margin if the Sharks don’t stop prematurely thinking about mad Monday.
