Looking at that Auckland lineup, you have to think they should win by 10 + but they don't play as a Team.

Otago and the over should be decent bets.

Storm v Broncos

The Broncos had a tough one last week and didn’t have many left at the end of the game. Not sure if Corey Oates will manage to front up here and Jai and Big Sam will need to prove their fitness after their concussions last week. I see there is some good news however in that Darius should make his way back into the starting lineup. Will the Broncos be able to play a style of game to threaten the Storm’s rock solid defence? They’ll have to if they’re gonna be any chance in this.

The Storm are simply ticking along and have won their last 8 games. They also have the advantage of having had a week off and they’ll be playing at home, no doubt with the added assistance of the Melbourne home crowd. The Storm have set the standard this year in the competition and seem to have the wood on Brisbane. Of the past 8 games between these two, the Storm have knocked the Broncos off 6 times.

Looking at how the Broncos have travelled so far in the last month, I’d have to say that based on form, they’re a slim to average chance on Friday night. Mind you, the Eels proved to everyone that the Storm (or any team for that matter) are not invincible and on the day, can be beaten. The Broncos have the “potential” to cause the Storm some headaches (and possibly win) if they can work out a smart game plan (not sure what it is though). If they don’t or can’t, the Storm should be able to assert themselves and win comfortably. Storm by 10.
