He’s one of the last stars standing at the injury-hit Roosters but James Tedesco continues to be a popular pick with TAB punters in the First Try Scorer market.
While the Roosters have drifted from $3.90 back to $4 outsiders against Souths ($1.23), Tedesco is the bet backed as First Try Scorer at $19 ahead of Rabbitohs rival Latrell Mitchell who is $10 and second favourite behind Alex Johnston at $7.
With 24 tries, Johnston ($1.40) remains the top fancy to finish the season as the NRL’s Top Try Scorer but Storm flyer Josh Addo-Carr is only one try further back and has had his odds cut from $7.50 into $3.25 after last weekend.
The Manly trio of Jason Saab ($15), Reuben Garrick ($17) and Tom Trbojevic ($41) need a big haul against the battling Bulldogs to bridge the gap but they scored eight tries between them in their 66-nil thumping of Canterbury in round 16, with Saab and Trbojevic both grabbing hat-tricks.
The Sea Eagles are a $1.01 to beat the Bulldogs as are Penrith against Wests Tigers, while the Storm are $1.05 favourites to set a new winning streak of 20 straight matches in their clash with Parramatta ($9). Round 24 kicks off with the Knights now $2.05 underdogs to the Titans at $1.77 after both were $1.90 with TAB yesterday.
