Other random thoughts, just quickly ...
Can't agree with liking Souths playing in Melbourne, I'd say Storm have one of the top 4 home grounds in the comp (NQ, Manly, Warriors, Storm), the packs even each other out and Storm have the class in the back-line and halves.
Without Pritchard Saints is a strong play for me on the ML. I also like the under on that game depending on the line.
All the value with Cronulla at home - they should have won at Leichhardt and have a really good side all round - only weak in the centres with Pomeroy and Best.
Canberra is a play based on what you and others have said - just concerned about backing them away from home.
Roosters/Panthers is a shit game, and should be avoided.
Warriors should run all over the Eels but it's MNF and anything can happen.
Manly still being under-rated against the Tigers, yes it's at Blue Tongue but it's still a home game support wise. Manly are the deepest side in the league, and their travel of late is balanced by Tigers having a tough battle in the hottest day in Sydney in recent memory.
Canberra, Cronulla, Manly and Broncos/Saints look like my leans for the weekend.
