We look ahead to some of the key fixtures in week 7 of the 2019 Footy season with some insights as to what you should be looking out for when buying, selling or swapping your tickets in the world’s most exciting sweepstakes game.

Friday night kicks off with two teams towards the bottom of the ladder as Canterbury plays North Queensland in what might be a low scoring game as both teams have struggled in attack. We think that this could be a close encounter and might be the springboard for either side to get its season up and running with a much-needed win. Game 2 sees the Panthers hosting the Rabbitohs in a match which South Sydney will be very keen to win to prove that the recent defeat to the Sea Eagles was more of a blip and that it remains lively contenders for the premier this season. Another close game here so likely that many Swopstakes players will be keen to have tickets which cover as many outcomes as possible to secure some winning tickets.

Saturday’s first match has the West Tigers playing the Gold Coast Titans in a game that is being played in Tamworth. With the Titans being 0-3 away from home this year it doesn’t look a good time to be backing them but how will the West Tigers respond after the 51-6 mauling at the hands of the Eels in the last round? Perhaps this could be the time to swap your tickets and throw caution to the wind? It hasn’t been a good start for the Broncos this year but returning to Suncorp might just help out as the Sharks wont get out of jail too many times as happened when coming back from 20-6 down against the Panthers in Round 6. Will ScoMo be dancing in the stands again or can the Broncos start to climb up the ladder to reach the top 8? It sounds like this could be a low scoring game and depending on what tickets you have perhaps swopstakers might choose to cash out.

Sunday afternoon won’t be a quiet one, especially for swopstakers who still have tickets in play. The Sea Eagles take on the Raiders in what looks sure to be a feisty battle. After their first loss in about a month, and a slightly contentious one at that, the Manly Sea Eagles will be ready to take on the high-flying Raiders at Lottoland. Canberra has been taken to the top of the ladder thanks to its tight defence this season with only 66 points conceded. Might be worth keeping this in mind when seeing what markets feature this game, it could pay to swap or buy tickets tactically.

The final game of round 7 sees the Knights at home to the Eels in a game which Newcastle urgently needs to win to avoid sinking to the bottom of the ladder. Parramatta on the other-hand welcomed the opening of the new Bankwest Stadium with a 51-6 thumping of the Tigers, if Parramatta shows that form again this game could be very one-sided.

Newcastle need to remember what it took to defeat Cronulla in the opening-round to be competitive and get its season back on track. Being the final game of the round, if your swopstakes ticket is still alive will you have the bottle to keep hold of your ticket or will it be too tempting to sell it so you can buy even more tickets in the next NRL game? Whatever you do – be lucky and enjoy the footy this ANZAC Day.
