Featured Tip from Mike Wilson

Pick Details

Sport / league:: NRL
Event / fixture:: Eels vs. Sharks
Event date: Mon, 12 May 2014 at 7:00 PM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Eels @ 1.71 (Pinnacle)
Tip Result:: Win

It’s back to Pirtek Stadium for the Parramatta Eels to host the last placed Cronulla Sharks. As I’ve mentioned at previous times through the year, the Eels are one of the best (if not the best) teams at growing a leg when playing at home compared to their score lines in games on the road. Facing the current 16th placed side, I would rate the Eels a $1.55 chance and the current best odds available for them in head to head betting is $1.71.
This isn’t to suggest that the Sharks are going to be pushovers. After all, their season could be in dire straits if they lose another match and the desperation levels amongst the team will be high.
It’s going to be a tough gig for the Sharks without Todd Carney after the half back has yet again succumb to a hamstring injury. His replacement is none other than returning forward Luke Lewis, who Coach Peter Sharp has thrust into the number 6 jersey. Lewis hasn’t played a game of Rugby League since the World Cup last year but he is no stranger to the number 6 jersey. In fact, Luke Lewis has played NRL matches in every single position except for prop forward.
All in all, I believe the Eels will be simply too good and that the two week break would have done some of their players the world of good.
So get moving punters and grab yourself some of that hot Eels action!

Mike’s Tip: Eels
Mike’s Best Bet: Eels Head to Head @ $1.71 (Pinnacle)
