Cronulla Sharks vs Manly Sea Eagles Thursday April 21 | PointsBet Stadium | 7.50pm AEST Cronulla has won its last seven night matches at this venue and is clearly a team on the rise this year. But they go into this clash with some important injuries that will no doubt bring Manly back into this match. Manly has really steadied

Canberra Raiders vs North Queensland Cowboys Thursday April 14 | GIO Stadium | 7.50pm AEST A big chance for one of these sides to get back to 3-3. The Cowboys come into this off a tough last-play loss to the Warriors, but they'll take some confidence after dominating the Raiders in this fixture only a few weeks ago with a

Overall results: +0.1u Week 4: +0.5u Week 3: +2.65u Week 2: -0.6u Week 1: -2.52u Newcastle Knights vs Manly Sea Eagles Thursday April 7 | McDonald Jones Stadium | 7.50pm AEDT Whilst we're only four games into the season, these two sides have had very different starts to the year. The Knights came out in a blaze of glory, winning their first two

Gold Coast Titans vs Wests Tigers Thursday March 31 | Cbus Super Stadium | 8.05pm AEDT The Tigers are the only team yet to win a game after three rounds and rightly go into this as clear underdogs. While the Titans will be hungry after blowing a massive lead against the Raiders last week. There's not much between these sides

St George Illawarra Dragons vs Cronulla Sharks Thursday March 24 | WIN Stadium | 8.05pm AEDT A grudge match to kick off round three - and this should be another ripper edition of a growing feud. As mentioned in the opening rounds, I'm a big fan of the Sharks under Fitzgibbon this year. The Sharks seem to be in great

Melbourne Storm vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Thursday March 17 | AAMI Park | 8.05pm AEDT It was the typical gutsy Storm when they came-from-behind to beat the Tigers in round one. They return to AAMI Park for the first time since round 8 last year and they'll be keen to please their home fans. The Rabbitohs have a poor record

Penrith Panthers vs Manly Sea Eagles Thursday 10th March 2022, BlueBet Stadium (8.05pm) The Panthers start their title defence at home against a Sea Eagles side which is expected to once again be in the mix for finals, or perhaps even rise to higher honours. Manly has stability from last season and it should ensure they’re hard to topple early

Penrith Panthers v South Sydney Rabbitohs Sunday 3/10/21 Many expected the Melbourne Storm to run away with the NRL Premiership, but their surprise loss last week has paved the way for what shapes as an evenly-balanced and mouth-watering tussle between the Panthers and Rabbitohs. While the Panthers have probably been the more impressive side across the length of the season, it's

South Sydney Rabbitohs v Manly Sea Eagles Friday 24/9/21 Can make a genuine case for both of these sides to lock in a grand final spot with a win here. The Rabbitohs were surprise winners over the Panthers last week, despite most dropping off with Latrell Mitchell out. But this game really could be won and lost with the impact

Manly Sea Eagles v Sydney Roosters Friday 17/9/21 It must be said the Roosters were extremely lucky to advance through week one of finals, after the Titans screwed up a golden opportunity. Having said that, it must not be forgotten that the Roosters once again simply just got the job one. All season they’ve overcome adversity, with endless injuries and

Melbourne Storm v Manly Sea Eagles Friday 10/9/21 There’s two key factors for this game, will Storm playmaker Cameron Munster play (and will he be at his best if he does) and how will the game’s most influential player Manly star Tom Trbojevic be stopped? The Storm haven’t lost at this stadium in nine outings and have also won their past

Canberra Raiders v Sydney Roosters Thursday 2/9/21 The final round before finals sees one of the most critical games for the make-up of the top eight. The Raiders kept their season alive with last week’s come-from-behind win to beat the Warriors, while the Roosters capitulation against the Rabbitohs has them likely missing the top four. There’s not much splitting these two

Newcastle Knights v Gold Coast Titans Thursday 26/8/21 Plenty at stake here as the Knights and Titans vie for a finals spot. The Knights are all but assured a spot in the finals (but stranger things have happened) while the Titans’ poor differential places them precariously in the finals race. For the Knights, Dave Klemmer is out through suspension while Tyzon

Gold Coast Titans v Melbourne Storm Thursday 19/8/21 Best of luck to the Titans as they try to stop competition leaders Storm from winning a record 19th straight game. But with home ground advantage, and the prospect of playing finals football for the first time in five years, there’s a lot on the line for the Titans who pulled together three

Melbourne Storm v Canberra Raiders Thursday 12/7/21 The Raiders are on the brink of the top eight, but their late-season revival will be put to the test when they face the Storm. The upside for the Raiders is the Storm are on the quick five-day back-up after their tough battle with Manly. Is it enough to test the ladder-leading Storm? Probably

Newcastle Knights v Brisbane Broncos Thursday 5/8/21 Newcastle is back in finals contention following a win over Canberra and have a dream run home, which continues here against the Broncos. Mitchell Pearce returns for the Knights while the Broncos will be battling the loss of the energetic Kotoni Staggs. The Knights have also won three of the last four against the Broncos

Sydney Roosters v Parramatta Eels Thursday 29/7/21 A mouth-watering Thursday night contest as the fourth-placed Eels look to bounce back against the fifth-placed Roosters. The Eels went down to the Raiders last round, but while it was a shock loss, it’s clear their opponents have regained their mojo after a dismal start to the season. The Roosters are coming off three

Parramatta Eels v Canberra Raiders Thursday 22/7/21 The Eels have steadied the ship after back-to-back mid-season losses to have won four of their past five. They take on a similarly rejuvenated Canberra side which has won its past two after looking certain to miss finals after a horror start to the year. The Eels have a few injury concerns with

Gold Coast Titans v Parramatta Eels Friday 16/7/21 The Titans kept their slim finals hopes alive when they broke a four-game losing streak last round with a huge away win against the Raiders. Despite coming back to the Gold Coast for this clash, it’s a vastly different task here as they face the Eels. While the Eels have somewhat slumped in

Manly Sea Eagles v Canberra Raiders Thursday 8/7/21 The Sea Eagles are without Origin players Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans, but I doubt it’ll be enough to curtail one of the competition’s hottest teams. With only two losses from their past 11 fixtures, the Sea Eagles aren’t a team NRL rivals are looking forwarding to coming up against. In contrast,

Sydney Roosters v Melbourne Storm  Thursday 1/7/21 A blockbuster match-up kicks off round 16 with the Roosters hosting a white-hot Storm. After 12 straight wins, the high-rolling Storm will face one of their sterner tests in recent months. Amazingly, the unstoppable Storm have failed to hit 40 points just twice this year. As for the Roosters, this clash will be

Brisbane Broncos v South Sydney Rabbitohs Thursday 17/6/2021 While the Broncos shock win over the Roosters remains fresh in mind, it’s hard to envisage them pulling another surprise here against the Rabbitohs. The Broncos have home ground advantage here, but since their win over the Roosters, have lost their next three by an average of 43 points. The Rabbitohs have seemingly

Manly Sea Eagles v North Queensland Cowboys Friday 11/6/21 These two sides come off a bye last weekend so there should fresh legs in the Cowboys and Sea Eagles. Origin hero Tom Trbojevic will be rested with Dylan Walker his replacement for Manly, who also have Daly Cherry-Evans and Jake Trbojevic set to back up after Origin. Kieran Foran is

Round 13 is a split round due to State of Origin. There are four matches with eight teams enjoying a bye. St George Illawarra Dragons v Brisbane Broncos Thursday 3/6/21 The Dragons have recalled forward Jack de Belin as they look to arrest a three-game losing streak. De Belin will play his first NRL match since the 2018 finals and will

Brisbane Broncos v Melbourne Storm Thursday 27/5/21 The Broncos have home ground advantage as they look to back up their shock win over the Roosters with victory against the Storm. In the Broncos’ favour is they meet a Storm side still far from full strength, with Ryan Papenhuyzen, Cameron Munster, Jahrome Hughes, Harry Grant and now Christian Welch all out. However,
