NRL Round 13 2026 Expert Tips & Predictions

The NRL continues this week for Round 13 action, kicking off with the Sharks vs. Sea Eagles on Friday night.

We have NRL betting tips for every game in 2026, including this week’s featured games between the Knights vs. Eels, Storm vs. Roosters, and Panthers vs. Warriors.

Friday 29/5/26

8:00pm Sharks vs. Sea Eagles @ Ocean Protect Stadium

Betting Tip: Sharks –2.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Sharks enjoyed a bye last week, and after getting back to their best with a win over the Bulldogs, they could start stringing wins together.

That’s what the Sea Eagles have done, and after surviving to score a close win over the Titans last week, they’ll love getting their Origin players back. However, playing a physical Sharks team could be too much for them.

We’re backing the Sharks to prevail with the help of home field.

Saturday 30/5/26

3:00pm Knights vs. Eels @ McDonald Jones Stadium

Betting Tip: Knights –9.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Knights are a good team when they put everything together, and that shouldn’t be too difficult against the struggling Eels.

Things have come together for the Knights since the return of Kalyn Ponga, and although he’s coming off State of Origin duty, he should be ready to go on Saturday.

Take the Knights to score a comfortable win at home.

5:30pm Wests Tigers vs. Bulldogs @ CommBank Stadium

Betting Tip: Bulldogs @ $1.98

BET NOW

The Bulldogs finally showed some toughness to come from 12 points down at the half to beat Melbourne last week, and we thought they would be favourites to beat the Tigers.

Nothing has gone right for the Tigers since Jarome Luai announced his departure next year, and we’re not sure why they made that decision mid-season.

Considering their form, we’re betting against the Tigers in a desperate clash.

Bulldogs by 6

7:35pm Storm vs. Roosters @ AAMI Park

Betting Tip: Roosters @ $1.90

BET NOW

There isn’t much between the Storm and Roosters with NRL odds, but we have the Roosters at around $1.60.

The Storm get their Origin players back, but we weren’t impressed with their second-half collapse against the Bulldogs last week, and they’re out of form.

Momentum is with the Roosters, who have bigger targets in sight.

Sunday 31/5/26

2:00pm Broncos vs. Dragons @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Dragons +19.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

We don’t rate the Broncos as good enough to cover a –19.5 line, so we’re including the Dragons in our NRL picks this week.

The Dragons have been awful, and they didn’t play well against the Warriors last week. However, some teams aren’t equipped to cover big spreads, and the Broncos are one of them.

With players coming off Origin, they could struggle to put the Dragons away with ease.

Broncos by 14

4:05pm Raiders vs. Cowboys @ GIO Stadium

Betting Tip: Cowboys @ $2.14

BET NOW

The Cowboys keep turning up, and we’re surprised to see the struggling Raiders as $1.71 favourites.

The Raiders didn’t muster much last week at almost full strength against the Dolphins, so we don’t think they’ll go well against the Cowboys, who come off a tough win over the Rabbitohs.

Take the $2.14 odds before they shorten throughout the week.

Cowboys by 6

6:15pm Panthers vs. Warriors @ CommBank Stadium

Betting Tip: Warriors +7.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The top two teams battle on Sunday night, and we have the Warriors putting up a good fight.

They’re a different team in 2026, and although losing Tanah Boyd hurts their chances, Te Maire Martin has done well in his last two games.

It could come down to the final few plays, and getting a +7.5 start is a good line for one of the form teams in the comp.
