Dolphins vs. Sea Eagles Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Dolphins get a great chance to post a win after losing to the Broncos, and our NRL predictions have them covering the –10.5 spread against a struggling Sea Eagles outfit.
The Sea Eagles are in turmoil after sacking their coach last week, following a winless start to the season. The writing was on the wall when Daly Cherry-Evans left the club last year, and we don’t see a way out in the meantime.
Given the quality of players for the Dolphins, and playing at home, they could run rings around the visitors. They looked good when beating Gold Coast and Cronulla, and something close to that level of play is easily enough to put up a big score on the Sea Eagles.

Same Game Multi
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow didn’t score a try last week, but he’s good enough to bounce back. The speedster has three tries from four starts, and we’re not surprised by the shortening odds for him to score a try on Thursday.
Punters cashed with Jake Averillo last week. He has five tries in four starts, and punters keep getting value odds. We’re including the $1.96 odds in our NRL same game multi picks as an excellent value bet.
Over 50.5 points is worth including in picks. They combined for a whopping 88 points in their last 2025 meeting, which followed a 54-point haul in 2024, so NRL betting trends support including the over.

Best Value Bet
There is value in betting the Dolphins to win by 13-18 points, which pays a healthy $5.75 with the latest NRL odds.
We expect the Dolphins to win comfortably, and although predicting them to win within a five-point margin isn’t easy, our predictions have them winning by 14 points.
It’s a betting option worth having a small wager on.
