Moley will give you the best tip and a quality roughie, as well as his secret reasons why! Keep on reading for all the tips for Round 16.

Panthers v Sea Eagles

Panthers Stadium, Saturday, 3:00pm

The duel between rival playmakers Daly Cherry-Evans (Manly) and Nathan Cleary (Panthers) should be a beauty.

The Panthers need to make a statement here - they are without prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard for an extended period and were smashed by the Roosters last-up. But at home against a weakened Manly team, they should win well.

Moley’s first try scorer is Christian Crichton at $10 with Sportsbet, with Viliame Kikau the roughie at $19.

Knights v Bulldogs

McDonald Jones Stadium, Saturday, 5:30pm

The Knights are walking a finals tightrope, still in the race but unable to make any slip-ups. They go into this game at home as favourites against the disappointing Dogs but are by no means good things.

Kalyn Ponga should gain plenty of confidence from his fine Origin debut but needs halves Connor Watson and Jack Cogger to take some of the pressure off his shoulders.

Moley’s first try scorer is Ken Sio at $11 with Sportsbet, with Mitch Barnett the roughie at $26.

Broncos v Raiders

Suncorp Stadium, Saturday, 7:30pm

The ninth-placed Raiders breathed new life into their finals campaign by thumping the Tigers last-up, but could struggle to stay in the race against the Broncos in Brisbane.

Hanging onto eight spot, the Broncos produced their best effort of the season last round against Cronulla and at home with their Origin stars backing up, should have too much fire power.

Moley’s first try scorer is Corey Oates at $9.50 with Sportsbet, with Tevita Pangai Junior the roughie at $26.

Tigers v Titans

Leichhardt Oval, Sunday, 2:00pm

Sitting in a precarious position in 10th spot after a great start to the season, it’s must win time for the Tigers and a return to Leichhardt on a Sunday afternoon might just be the spark they need.

The Titans are one spot behind them and while rank underdogs, could prove a nuisance team to the sides vying for finals spots - but not in this one. Tigers by 6-12 points.

Moley’s first try scorer is Corey Thompson at $11 with Sportsbet, with Esan Marsters the roughie at $15.

Rabbitohs v Cowboys

Barlow Park, Sunday, 4:10pm

Souths will be chasing their eighth straight win against the out-of-sorts Cowboys and with the Burgess boys firing on all cylinders, look to have too much muscle up front.

The Cowboys, sitting in 13th spot, have been the big flops of 2018 to date but the one thing they have going for them is that Souths opted to play the game in their heartland in steamy Cairns.

Moley’s first try scorer is Robert Jennings at $9 with Sportsbet, with Dane Gagai the roughie at $17.
