FRIDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER 2018
Storm 1.38 v Sharks 3.10 - BEST BET
TIP - Under 36.5 Points @ 1.88
TIP - Sharks 1-12 @ 4.50
Head to Head - Round 4 Sharks 14-4 Storm, Round 22 Storm 14-17 Sharks
Melbourne come into this fresh after having a week off thanks to their 29-28 win against the Rabbitohs down at AAMI Park, Cameron Munster's 76th minute field goal was the difference on the day in an enthralling game that saw the lead chance hands several times.
The Storm will be looking to reach their third consecutive final, they are last years reigning champions and they will not want to give that up lightly, home ground advantage a big plus for the Melbourne outfit.
Cronulla took on the Panthers at the Allianz Stadium last weekend in their semi-final match-up and after dominating early they were holding on for dear life at the end but they did just enough and won the game 21-20 thanks to a Chad Townsend 73 minute field goal.
Cronulla will be hoping to emulate their Grand Final performance two years ago when they beat the Storm 14-12, they have beaten the Storm twice this season so they will be confident going into the game of pulling off an upset.
Verdict - The Sharks look a decent price since they have beaten their opponents twice already this season, just for the value we will side with Cronulla.

SATURDAY 22ND SEPTEMBER 2018
Roosters 1.75 v Rabbitohs 2.10
TIP - Over 36.5 Points @ 1.88
TIP - Rabbitohs 1-6 @ 4.25
Head to Head - Round 6 Roosters 14-26 Rabbitohs, Round 22 Rabbitohs 14-18 Roosters
The Roosters beat the Sharks 21-12 in their qualifying final thanks after getting off to a slow start, they went behind when they conceded a try inside the first five minutes but they regrouped quickly and dominated the game thereafter.
The Roosters have had a week off to freshen up ready for this tie and they will be hoping that is the deciding factor in what should be a close contest.
Souths after losing their qualifying final against the Storm by a single point had to take on the Dragons last weekend and in a tense affair came through 13-12 at ANZ Stadium thanks to an Adam Reynolds 79th minute field goal.
It was a one man show last weekend with Reynolds scoring all the points for the Bunnies, they will need to be better here if they are to beat their Sydney rivals and advance through to the Grand Final.
Verdict - Should be a close game this one, slight preference is for the Bunnies but it really is a coin toss this one.
