The NRL continues with Round 12 action between the Cowboys vs. Rabbitohs on Sunday, May 24 at 4:05pm at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
Closing out the round are the Cowboys vs. Rabbitohs, and a close game is expected between the top eight teams.
Best Bet
The Cowboys have won their last four games against top eight teams, which is an excellent sign. It shows toughness, and although they lost players to State or Origin selection, the same goes for the Rabbitohs.
After beating the Roosters as big underdogs last week, the Cowboys are playing with great confidence, and they eye another win over a Sydney team on Sunday. With the Rabbitohs losing 32-10 to the Dolphins, they’re not a confident team.
There has been some market confidence for the Rabbitohs, but we have the Cowboys winning by 6-8 points. They are playing a better brand of footy, and they are 2-0 in their last two games against the Rabbitohs, including wins at Optus Stadium in Perth and at Suncorp Stadium during the 2025 Magic Round.
Same Game Multi
Scott Drinkwater has regained his try-scoring form with four tries from his last four games, and he could add another to his record. He is a live chance at $1.78, and we expect those odds to shorten throughout the week.
Punters get $3.45 for Jake Clifford to score a try, which gives a huge boost to our NRL SGM bet. He has two tries from his last three games, and although he’s gutted to miss out of State of Origin, he should show selectors what they missed out on.
Defence won’t be prominent on Sunday, and it could be the highest-scoring game of Round 12.
Best Value Bet
It has been a resurgent season for Jason Taumalolo, who continues to eat up the metres for the Cowboys.
Scoring tries isn’t his forte, but he could be rewarded for his hard work with a try close to the goal line. He is strong enough to power over from close range, and they would love to get him a try before the season ends.
$7.50 is generous enough to include him for some value.
