NRL TIPS 17/5
There will be no level bet for the $100 into $10,000 challenge today, as we look towards tomorrow!
Penrith Panthers host New Zealand Warriors
Warriors come into this game 3-6 but anyone who’s watched them play would argue they should be 5-4 at worst. Last week they had Kodi Nikorima make his New Zealand debut after leaving the Broncos and it’s easy to see how much of a better fit he is there.
Penrith on the hand, after everyone had such high expectations they’ve just disappointed everyone week after week. They’re 2-7 for the season and have cut a few players this week trying to get a reaction from the team. Waka Blake returns after being cut last week for arriving to training 45 minutes late, I expect a bigger performance from him but it won’t be enough.
Both teams are bottom four for defence so expecting a lot of points here. Warriors have only kept one team to less than 10 points and that was the bulldogs who are the worst team in the comp

Brisbane Broncos host Sydney Roosters
Interesting game here, Broncos lost 36-4 against the the Roosters 6 weeks ago down in Sydney but now up at Suncorp they should be ready for redemption and it couldn’t come at a better time. The Roosters playing without Boyd Cordner & Daniel Tupou who both got injured last week on top of already missing 2 of their starting players and considering Latrell Mitchell appeared to pull his groin last week yet is still named to play… how strong are they? I know they have depth but that’s a lot of good players missing.
Tom Dearden was great on debut last week for the Broncos and appeared to set them up a lot better offensively in comparison to what they had in the first 8 games. I expect a huge effort defensively from the Broncos here which will help them stay in touch with the Roosters.
