Bet Of The Day June 29 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Sharks have won the last six meetings
Dragons haven’t won at PointsBet Stadium since 2018
Sharks have seen 44+ points in 10 of their last 14 games
Dragons have seen 44+ points in five of their last six games
Dragons have seen 66 points in their last two games
Sharks beat Bulldogs 48-10 in their last fixture
Dragons lost 48-18 to Warriors in their last fixture

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Sharks look to inflict more misery on the embattled Dragons to launch Round 18 action.

The Dragons are a club in shambles and they have been for a long time now. St George Illawarra suffered a crushing 48-18 defeat at home to the Warriors last week, conceding their most tries in a match since 2000 (nine).

Now they go on the road against a much stronger side in Cronulla, so you can imagine the bloodbath that likely follows here.

We’ll be backing the Sharks to prevail by a 13+ margin with Over 44.5 total points in the match, paying $2.50 with bet365.

Cronulla have won the last six meetings with the Dragons, who also haven’t tasted victory at PointsBet Stadium since 2018.

The Sharks beat the Dragons 40-8 earlier this season and the joint-venture side are in a much worse state coming into this clash.

Craig Fitzgibbon’s side are also coming off a massive 48-10 victory over the Bulldogs at home in their last outing.

Meanwhile, as far as points go, we should be seeing plenty.

The Sharks have seen 44+ points in 10 of their last 14 games, while the Dragons have gone over 44 points in five of their last six, including exactly 66 in their last two games.

Anything but a comfortable Sharks win would be a massive surprise.
