This weekend's hot NRL tips, care of Nick Tedeschi.

MELBOURNE (v Brisbane)
2 units at match odds of $1.50 or better

Despite Brisbane finding some form, the Storm get all the ticks in their home clash with the Broncos this Friday night.

The Storm have won 14 of 18 at AAMI Stadium, and 13 of their last 17 against the Broncos, plus they are riding a seven-game winning streak.

This all adds up to them being very difficult to beat in a big game, and tactically the Storm have a massive advantage over the Broncos in the back-line, where Brisbane can be vulnerable to the short ball and the cut-out.

Melbourne will be fired up for this and should get the money.

PARRAMATTA (v Canterbury)
2 units at match odds of $1.75 or better

Considering the mess the club is in, it is astonishing that the Bulldogs have come up favourites.

They are a rabble at present, having lost seven of nine including their first game under interim coach Jim Dymock, blowing a 12-point lead against the Warriors and conceding 36 straight points in a humbling affair.

There are major attitude problems at the club and with the Eels on the steady improve in the last couple of weeks, plus having won eight of 10 against the Dogs, they are the play.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS (v Wests Tigers)
1 unit at match odds of $2.35 or better

There is no doubt the Roosters are struggling this year.

They have won only five matches and blew the chance to build some momentum against South Sydney when they gave up a late lead against the Bunnies to lose in extra-time.

The Tigers, meanwhile, enter this off a big win, but it was one they had to fight hard for against a Cowboys team without Johnathan Thurston. They were hardly impressive and have struggled for touch for a long period now.

The Roosters have won four straight against the Tigers and with a string of players now back from injury for the Tricolours, expect them to give the Tigers a real run for their money on Saturday night.
