Featured Tip from Mike Wilson

Pick Details

Sport / league:: NRL
Event / fixture:: North QLD Cowboys vs. Sydney Roosters
Event date: Sat, 18 May 2013 at 7:30 PM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Roosters @ 1.88 (Sportsbet)
Tip Result:: Win

The Cowboys are hosting the Roosters in Townsville and if they saw how their opponents played on Monday night they will be more than aware that a rapid improvement is required to defeat them. Their form has been scratchy at best and they find themselves 10th on the ladder only because they have run into some easy opponents.
Despite being quite aware that Jared Waerea-Hargreaves will be slapped with a 5 week suspension for a high tackle, the Roosters have named the same side that so impressively went to Brookvale Oval on Monday night and defeated the Sea Eagles. If there were any doubts as to whether or not the Roosters are the real deal then it’s fair to say they have now been quashed.
The Roosters put up supreme defence in the face of any Sea Eagles onslaughts and I can’t see the Cowboys producing the same sort of attack to test out the tri-colours. It’s the Roosters for me as I’ll be expecting Sonny Bill Williams to step up in the absence of Waerea-Hargreaves.
