Nick Tedeschi's hot tips for this round of the NRL.

CANTERBURY (v GOLD COAST)
1.5 units at match odds of $1.40 or better

The Bulldogs were extremely disappointing against Canberra last week, losing to the low-rung Raiders as well as star prop forward Aiden Tolman to injury.

The Titans, however, have been terrible all season.

The key to this match is Ben Barba. The Titans backline is the worst defensively in the NRL and the sharp Barba should be able to wreak havoc.

The Titans have won three of four against the Bulldogs, but a Canterbury team with far more upside should get the chocolates here on neutral territory.

NORTH QUEENSLAND (v SYDNEY ROOSTERS)
2 units at match odds of $1.35 or better

North Queensland have had the wood over the Roosters in recent times, winning three of their last four, and holding the Roosters to a respectable 10 points last year as they wallowed deep in their 2010 mire.

The Cowboys' 7-3 record has been respectable. They have been fiercely determined at home, winning their last five in Townsville.

The Roosters, meanwhile, cannot score, not breaking 13 points in their last six encounters.

The Cowboys should have too much firepower for a disjointed and jerky Roosters team.

MELBOURNE (v CRONULLA)
3 units at match odds of $1.15 or better

The Storm are at the crossroads. They have started the season well but home losses to New Zealand and Canberra have Craig Bellamy's team in need of a statement.

Sadly for the hapless Cronulla, who were thumped by 40 in the most inept performance of the year, that will come this Sunday.

The Storm have won six of seven against Cronulla and should really do a number on them at home on Sunday, particularly if Paul Gallen struggles to back up.
