The Dolphins roll into Campbelltown winners of four straight, having put 40 on the Cowboys and 48 on the Roosters. The Tigers can play, but they run hot and cold, and our model has the visitors winning this one going away.

The Dolphins Have Won Four Straight and Look the Form Side of the Competition. The Tigers Blow Hot and Cold, and the Model Says This One Goes One Way.

The Dolphins have turned into the side nobody wants to draw. Four wins on the trot, and the last two were not close.

The market has the gap at a touch over a converted try. Our model has it at nearly three times that. That is where the value sits, because the books are still pricing the home side off the night they beat the Titans, not the afternoon they shipped 68 to the Panthers.

When one defence is this miserly and the other side cannot decide which version of itself is turning up, the favourite usually wins the arm wrestle and keeps the scoreboard quiet.

The risk is Campbelltown. The Tigers are a tougher proposition at home, and if they get rolling early the visitors have to actually front up rather than coast.

But class and consistency beat hope most weeks. We are with the form side, and we think they win going away.

Tigers vs Dolphins Tip

The Dolphins win this comfortably, by around 20, on the back of the meanest defence in the competition right now.

Final Verdict

The Dolphins are the better side, the settled side and the meaner defence, and none of that is priced in at the line on offer. Back them with confidence and let the points look after themselves.
