Cowboys vs. Roosters Predictions - NRL Round 22 2026Ended

The NRL continues with Round 22 action between the Cowboys vs. Roosters on Thursday, July 30 at 7:50 pm at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Kicking off action this week are the Cowboys and Roosters, who are currently inside the top eight, so it could be an early NRL finals look-in.

Best Bet

Cowboys +5.5 @ $1.96

Bet Now

Most of the money has come for the Roosters to cover the spread, but we’re backing the Cowboys to keep it close at home.

We have been impressed with their recent wins, and although they lost to the Dolphins two weeks ago, they bounced back with a win over the Broncos, which was an effort of a team wanting to play finals footy.

They showed their ability when beating the Panthers 26-12 in Round 17, and if they’re anywhere near that level, they could score an upset win over the Roosters, who enter this game on an impressive winning streak.

They dug deep to beat the Storm and Knights, but they should have put the Knights away easily last week. We have the Roosters losing a game before the finals, and it could come against the Cowboys on the road.

Same Game Multi

Cowboys +5.5, Murray Taulagi Anytime Try Scorer, Robert Toia Anytime Try Scorer, Over 45.5 @ $12.50

Bet Now

Murray Taulagi has been a big addition to the team since coming back from injury, and he could be rewarded with a try. He has only one try from his last five games, but that shouldn’t deter punters from including him in picks at $2.07.

Robert Toia is our best bet for a Roosters player to score. He scored in three consecutive games before not scoring last week, but he could bounce back with a four pointer. Punters get $2.50, which gives a big boost to NRL SGM picks.

It should be a high-scoring contest, so we’re including over 45.5 points in our picks.

Best Value Bet

Cowboys 1-12 @ $3.70

Bet Now

We have the Cowboys scoring an upset win, and it’s unlikely to come by 13+ points, so take the 1-12 line.

They have already beaten the Roosters this year when scoring a 18-12 win at Suncorp Stadium during Magic Round, and they could double down on that effort.

The $3.70 odds are too good to turn down, so include them as a NRL value bet.
