Penrith and the Warriors have been elite defensively, but the number has still been held down enough to play the Over 46.5. The model projects 49.6 total points and both teams have been clearing 28 points per game across their last 5.

The Penrith Panthers have averaged 28.6 points across their last 5 games, while the New Zealand Warriors have averaged 31.2 in the same span. Penrith are 2nd in Points and the Warriors 1st, so this is not just a ladder-position story.

The margin market also lines up. Penrith have dominated the recent head-to-head, but this Warriors side has won their last 4 games in Australia and is playing with enough confidence to keep this close. Either team 1-12 at $1.80 is the best way to avoid picking a side in a game that is expected to be tight.

The tryscorer multi is simple enough. Thomas Jenkins is named on the Penrith wing and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is in ridiculous scoring form for the Warriors. DWZ has scored 12 tries in his last 7 games and gives the multi the obvious punch.

Penrith Panthers Form Analysis

Penrith have won 5 straight and have averaged 28.6 points while conceding just 14.8. They are still the most complete team in the competition when their forwards get on top and the spine controls field position.

The team-list wrinkle is Origin. Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo, Casey McLean and Brian To'o are named in the reserves and will be monitored after Game One, while Jack Cogger is named to play halfback if Cleary does not back up.

Liam Martin returning from a knee injury is a major boost on the edge. Penrith also have Thomas Jenkins named on the wing, which puts him into the tryscorer multi given the expected attacking volume in this matchup.

New Zealand Warriors Form Analysis

The Warriors have been brilliant. They have won 6 straight and averaged 32.3 points and conceded only 15 per game across that run.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is out for the season with an ACL injury, so Adam Pompey comes into the centres. Marata Niukore has been added to the bench, while Mitch Barnett and Kurt Capewell are set to be rested.

Even with those changes, the Warriors still have enough strike to keep this close. DWZ has scored 12 tries in his last 7 games, Alofiana Khan-Pereira is on the other wing and the spine has been generating points consistently.
