The Warriors Are On A Roll. The Eels Can’t Stop The Bleeding.

Warriors are sitting second on the ladder and have won three on the bounce, taking down the Storm, Titans and Dolphins in succession. The Eels have lost four of their last five and are getting cooked at the back end – 35 conceded a game over that window.

The model has the Warriors winning by twelve at CommBank, the bookies have them at minus 6.5. That gap is the trade. Even at a short price the line is inside what the model thinks is fair.

The risk is the Eels at home. They put 38 on the Bulldogs three weeks back, so the upside is in the side somewhere. Tip a wrong day and the cover slips.

But the bigger picture is class versus chaos. Warriors are scoring more, conceding less, and they’re winning the close ones – twenty-eighteen over the Dolphins last round. The 6.5 line is generous. Get on.

Eels vs Warriors Tip

Take the Warriors minus 6.5 at $1.90; the model has them by twelve and the form line backs it up.
