The Bet King’s NRL Round 12 ‘Pick of the Week’

The Bet King’s NRL ‘Pick of the Week’ for Round 12.

After an early start this week with Wednesday’s State Of Origin Game 1, we are looking forward to Friday night’s Penrith Panthers Vs Parramatta Eels.

The Panthers aren’t having the same season as last year, currently sitting 8th on the NRL ladder, with 5 Wins and 5 Losses. This week should bring a return to form as Josh Mansour and Peter Wallace return. This will cause a reshuffle with Jamie Soward moving to five-eight. The Panthers’ new additions should see them exploit the defensive weaknesses within the Paramatta Eels.

Parramatta is simply struggling, currently suffering the loss of 11 player to injury.

Last week South Sydney were simply too tough for them. The Eels are looking to youth this week naming NRL debutant Daniel Alvaro, Chris Sandow name at Halfback, and Joseph Paulo returns. Parramatta’s only Origin Player Will Hopoate is expecting to back up from Wednesday night barring any injuries.

Our bet of the week is in the winning margin market and simple based on recent performances we expect the Panthers to win this one. Looking at the stats Penrith average 17.00 points per game, and we are considering the fact the Eels allow an average of 24.40 points against per game.

Add the above with the inclusions to the Panthers line up and we think they will return to the attacking style of play that we haven’t seen from them since Round 2 and with which they were so successful last season. Simply put the Eels won’t likely be able to defend.

Bet – Penrith Panthers 1-12 ($2.90) – Luxbet
