The Wests Tigers have lost six straight and have the 10<sup style="box-sizing: border-box;">th</sup>best attack and 14<sup style="box-sizing: border-box;">th</sup> ranked defence. They come into this off a 60-6 loss in Canberra and now sit 14<sup style="box-sizing: border-box;">th</sup> with a 2-6 record. Since Round 3 they have the worst defence and third worst attack in the NRL.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <a href="https://www.williamhill.com.au/rugby-league#offcanvas" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0188c2; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Round 9 NRL Odds</strong></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Key Matchup</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Greg Inglis v James Tedesco. Inglis has had an exts Tedesco. Inglis has had an extremely quiet year to date but with Souths in dire straits he needs to pick up his game this week. He looks tired and beaten-up but with their season on the line he must find. Tedesco was desperately unlucky to miss out on Test selection and has been the only consistent, high-level player the Tigers have. If the Tigers are to escape their rut, it will be on Tedesco’s back.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Stats That Matter</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />South Sydney are 2-6 ATS with a 4-4 over-under number while the Wests Tigers are 3-5 ATS with a 4-4 total number. Underdogs of 6.5 or more off a loss are 58-40 ATS Rounds 5-10 since 2008. Those teams are 5-9 ATS when they conceded 40 points the week prior. Teams who conceded 50 points the week prior are 31-18 ATS since 2008 (30-19 over) while those who conceded 60 are 5-1 ATS (4-2 over). Teams off six straight losses are 30-51 ATS since 2008 with a 47-34 under number. Souths have failed to cover their last five after conceding 30 points in a game while the Tigers are 3-6 ATS in their last nine in the same situation. Souths have covered just 3 of their last 12 at ANZ but have covered 3 of their last 4 when favoured by over a converted try. The Tigers have covered just 3 of their last 11 at the ground.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><a href="http://blog.williamhill.com.au/nrl/nrl-behind-curtains-round-9/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0188c2; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;">Behind The Curtains</a></strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Final Thoughts</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />These are two bad teams who are well and truly off their coaches. The Wests Tigers hit rock bottom last Saturday though while South Sydney are still tearing themselves up. Teams off monster floggings tend to bounce back the week after and it would take a game punter indeed to lay 7.5 points to be with the Bunnies. James Tedesco should be stinging after being overlooked for Test duty and seems set for a big game with a big upset brewing.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">How It’s Shaping Up</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Wests Tigers by 2</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Best Bet</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><a href="https://www.williamhill.com.au/rugby-league/23062713/d/south-sydney-vs-wests" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0188c2; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;">Wests Tigers +7.5 ($1.90)</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Best Exotic</strong><a href="https://www.williamhill.com.au/rugby-league/23062713/d/south-sydney-vs-wests" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0188c2; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;">Wests Tigers 1-12 ($4.25)</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Best First/Last Tryscorer</strong><a href="https://www.williamhill.com.au/rugby-league/23062713/d/south-sydney-vs-wests" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0188c2; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;">James Tedesco ($11.00)</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Other Recommended Bets</strong><a href="https://www.williamhill.com.au/rugby-league/23062713/d/south-sydney-vs-wests" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0188c2; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;">Wests Tigers ($3.00)</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCgk4JCwOL1VpYsHiI2VeomkcA8u8Cq7-Z2ONfiXL9s9Yw0ws2xWtJsh8jkZe0k6qcG6ZQ2x80YekjtShGOS-eYtIi4UOiG5CaH_4gMpBX8XeQT8XRH5nktvQdYXMZ5GW3xKqZyuOr8c/s1600/115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCgk4JCwOL1VpYsHiI2VeomkcA8u8Cq7-Z2ONfiXL9s9Yw0ws2xWtJsh8jkZe0k6qcG6ZQ2x80YekjtShGOS-eYtIi4UOiG5CaH_4gMpBX8XeQT8XRH5nktvQdYXMZ5GW3xKqZyuOr8c/s320/115.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <br /></div>
