Pete, saying that the Dragons are average is being kind. They are much worse than that!

Melbourne +6 is a good value bet, for the reasons I outlined above, yet Penrith and the Gold Coast to cover the line still seem to be the best bets that I can see for the week.

Backing the Tigers to win in Newcastle seems a bit risky for my liking. Even though you rightly point out that they have all their stars back, Newcastle will beat a fair few teams this year and the Tigers play a style of footy which can be stifled by the so-far solid Newcastle defence.

I would like to see the Tigers new combinations gelling and playing more games together before backing them with any real confidence.
