NRL Round 11 2026 Expert Tips & Predictions

The NRL continues this week for Round 11 action, kicking off with the Sharks vs. Bulldogs on Friday night, which is a great way to start Magic Round.

We have NRL betting tips for every game in 2026, including this week’s featured games between the Rabbitohs vs. Dolphins, Roosters vs. Cowboys, and Warriors vs. Broncos.

Friday 15/5/26

6:00pm Sharks vs. Bulldogs @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Sharks –5.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

Backing the Sharks after their terrible performance against the Rabbitohs isn’t easy, but they’re inconsistent enough to include in NRL picks.

They looked good when beating the Tigers two weeks ago, and with the Bulldogs not playing any better, this is an ideal chance for the Sharks to show something.

We recommend taking the –5.5 line before it moves to –6.5.

8:05pm Rabbitohs vs. Dolphins @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Dolphins @ $2.15

BET NOW

It’s a tough game to predict, with the Rabbitohs and Dolphins playing well. However, the Dolphins get a home game for Magic Round, which should play its part.

They’re playing well after scoring an easy win last week, and when this team starts stringing wins together, they’re tough to slow down.

The Rabbitohs should have a much harder task than they did last week, so take the underdog value with the Dolphins.

Saturday 16/5/26

3:00pm Wests Tigers vs. Sea Eagles @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Sea Eagles -9.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Sea Eagles have found form with their new coach, and their winning run should continue against the struggling Wests Tigers.

We had a feeling that when news broke of Jarome Luai leaving the Tigers, their form would spiral. It’s done exactly that, and the Sea Eagles could capitalise during Magic Round.

Covering a –9.5 line isn’t easy, but class should prevail.

5:30pm Roosters vs. Cowboys @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Cowboys +13.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

Most of the money has come for the Roosters due to the Cowboys losing Tom Deardon to injury, but that doesn’t mean they’ll lose heavily.

It’s next man up for the Cowboys, who are playing well enough to keep it close despite losing to the Eels last week when looking to have the win parceled up.

It will be a pro-Queensland crowd, so the Cowboys will have support.

Roosters by 12

7:45pm Eels vs. Storm @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Storm –6.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

It was good to see the Storm getting back to winning form with a massive win over the Tigers, and they could keep winning this week.

The Eels looked good when coming from behind to beat the Cowboys, but they’re facing some classy players, and the Storm could make a mid-season run.

We have them winning by 10-12 points, so include the –6.5 line in NRL picks.

Sunday 17/5/26

2:00pm Titans vs. Knights @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Knights -10.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Knights have hit top gear since the return of Kayln Ponga, and they should feel comfortable against the Titans, who haven’t offered much.

We expect the Titans to struggle with the Knights’ offence, which has been humming recently, and the Titans’ defence struggles at the best of times.

It’s another double figure spread, but punters should feel confident.

Knights by 14

4:05pm Warriors vs. Broncos @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Warriors -2.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

It might be played at Suncorp Stadium, but there are a lot of Warriors fans in Brisbane, so this will play like a Warriors home game.

They sit comfortably in second position on the NRL ladder, and after enjoying a bye last week, they’ll be fresh and ready to hand the Broncos another loss.

The –2.5 line is better than expected, so it’s a strong bet this week.

Warriors by 10

6:25pm Panthers vs. Dragons @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Panthers –25.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

It has been a sad season for the Dragons, and it’s about to go from bad to worse against the in-form Panthers.

We haven’t seen a –25.5 line for some time, but given the trajectory of these teams, we can’t envision a close contest on Sunday.

It should be one-way traffic for the Panthers.
