Featured Tip from Mike Wilson

Pick Details

Sport / league:: NRL
Event / fixture:: Storm vs. Sharks
Event date: Sat, 16 Aug 2014 at 5:30 PM
Market:: Line/Handicap
Tip:: Storm -20.0 @ 1.96 (Pinnacle)
Tip Result:: Win

Some of the Storm players will probably still wake up on game day wondering if they actually lost to the Knights last week or if it was all a bad dream.
When they realise the nightmare is a reality, they’ll be extra determined to win this encounter against the Sharks to avoid the wrath of Coach Craig Bellamy.
Could you imagine being on the end of Craig Bellamy’s spray if the Storm went down to the 16th placed Sharks in front of their home ground with a top 8 spot on the line?
A major factor working in the Storm’s favour is Sharks’ prop Andrew Fifita’s injury which has him out for the remainder of the season.
Fifita was instrumental in the Sharks’ improved performance last week and without him they could end up on the wrong end of a flogging.
These two sides have met four times at AAMI Park and the Storm have won every time and it’s likely to be five times once the full time siren sounds. The big question is; how much will the Storm win by?
I can’t say exactly but I believe it will be more than the 18.5 line on offer and with Pinnacle Sports offering $1.96 for -20.0, that’s enough of a sweetener to get on and risk a refund if the Storm win by exactly 20 points.

Mike’s Tip: Storm
Mike’s Best Bet: Storm -20.0 @ $1.96 (Pinnacle Sports)
