Dragons vs. Eels Predictions - NRL Round 27 2026

Ended

Pride is the only thing on the line for the Dragons and Eels on Sunday, but the Eels have had the better season and they favourites to win the match.

But punters get a price for the Dragons that looks to be one of the best value NRL bets of the week, and their recent form of two wins from four matches is better than it looks on paper.

Tyrell Sloan has been the best thing about the Dragons back half this year, and his try-scorer markets are worth a look.

Best Bet

Dragons @ $2.25

The Eels have played better this season, but we would like to see the Dragons end their poor season with a victory.

They have played better recently, including two wins from their last four games, but they’re looking to turn around two heavy losses to the Bulldogs and Sea Eagles. Despite those losses, they can bounce back in fine style.

Their wins over the Sharks and Tigers were much better, and if the Eels don’t bring their best game, the Dragons will be there to capitalise.

Punters should expect a big crowd at WIN Stadium, and that’s what we like about this franchise. They keep turning up despite their record, and that could be enough to spur the Dragons on to victory at underdog odds.

The $2.25 odds are a good price from bookmakers, and the Dragons to get the win are worth including as one fo the best value NRL bets this week.

Dragons H2H, Tyrell Sloan Anytime Try Scorer, Jordan Samrani Anytime Try Scorer, Under 56.5 @ $19.50

Tyrell Sloan has ended the year with his best form, and if only he showed that earlier in the year. He has a try in four of his last five games, and he’s the $1.70 favourite for a Dragons play to score, so include him in NRL SGM picks.

We also like Jordan Samrani to score for the Eels. He has three tries in his last three games, and the $2.40 odds are much better than expected. We priced him at $1.90, so include him in picks.

Bookies have set a high line at 56.5 points, but defence could show up. It’s worth including to boost multi bet odds.

Best Value Bet

Tyrell Sloan First Try Scorer @ $10.00

Bet Now

The Dragons scoring the first try would take them a long way to winning this game, and it could come from their speedster.

Sloan has been in career-best form recently, and he’s a player who only needs to focus to become a good player.

With his confidence building, we’re taking the $10 odds to score first.
