NRL Round 2 Tips
—
Thursday 13/3/25
8:00pm Newcastle Knights vs Dolphins @ McDonald Jones Stadium
The Knights didn’t play well last week when beating the Tigers, but they managed to defend well and come back from 8-0 down at halftime.
Despite not showing their best, they’ll feel happy to have won the game and there is plenty of improvement to come from this team.
The Dolphins didn’t play all that well against the Rabbitohs, losing narrowly, and the task was made harder with a few of their players opting to stay home with their families due to the cyclone.
We believe Newcastle is the better bet at $1.64, especially at home.
Betting tip: Knights @ $1.64

6:00pm New Zealand Warriors vs Manly Sea Eagles @ Go Media Stadium
The Warriors couldn’t have been more disappointing in Las Vegas when showing nothing against the Raiders.
Expectations aren’t high from the New Zealand team in 2025, and the early signs aren’t good. Therefore, we’re backing the Sea Eagles to start 2-0 after putting up a big number on the North Queensland Cowboys last week.
The Sea Eagles were dominant and covering a –7.5 spread against the Warriors is manageable.
Betting tip: Sea Eagles –7.5 @ $1.90

The Panthers got their title defence off to a winning start last week against the Cronulla Sharks in Las Vegas, and they should start 2-0.
There is nothing to get excited about for Roosters fans having lost 50-14 against the Broncos last week, and it was a dour performance.
They scored two late consolation tries, and for a team struggling with confidence, a heavy loss won’t help against a team as mighty as the Panthers.
Betting tip: Panthers –16.5 @ $1.90

3:00pm St George Dragons vs South Sydney Rabbitohs @ WIN Stadium
The Dragons fought back late when losing to the Bulldogs, but unfortunately for them, it was another loss for the franchise.
Winning games hasn’t come easy for the Dragons, who are $1.48 favourites to beat South Sydney, despite the Rabbitohs winning well last week.
We expect a close game at WIN Stadium, so we’re locking in the Rabbitohs to cover the +6.5 spread, which is generous from bookmakers.
Betting tip: Rabbitohs +6.5 @ $1.90

We had hoped the Cowboys team on paper would translate onto the field, but after a shocking loss in Round 1, that’s not the case. They were outright awful against the Sea Eagles, and Cronulla should take full advantage on Saturday.
The Sharks didn’t take their chances against the Panthers in Vegas, but the occasion might have got to them. Putting up a number on the Cowboys shouldn’t be difficult.
The current line is –7.5 for the Sharks, and they should win by double digits.
Betting tip: Sharks –7.5 @ $1.90

Raiders vs Broncos should be one of the more entertaining games of the week, but bookmakers have made the Broncos –12.5 favourites. They were impressive last week, but the Raiders are tough to get past at home.
We believe the Raiders did enough last week against the Warriors to suggest they can defend well and stop the Broncos, who are a good team, but not always the most consistent.
The +12.5 line is far too generous to pass up in a game that could be decided in the final 10 minutes.
Betting tip: Raiders +12.5 @ $1.90

Sunday 16/3/25
4:05pm Parramatta Eels vs Wests Tigers @ CommBank Stadium
Not having Mitch Moses didn’t help the Eels last week, who were smashed by the impressive Melbourne Storm. It will be a tough loss to bounce back from, but luckily for the Eels, they face the Tigers in Round 2.
The Tigers had every chance to beat the Knights, leading 8-0, but fatigue, an insane number of missed tackles, and a lack of leadership from Jarome Luai was enough to sink the ship.
We don’t have much hope for either team, but getting the Eels at $2.27 is a fair price.
Betting tip: Eels @ $2.27

Use Code: 'GOBET500'6:15pm Canterbury Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Titans @ Belmore Sports Ground
The Bulldogs have more upside than the Titans, and after beating the Dragons in the opening round, they should beat the Titans and improve to 2-0.
Gold Coast had the bye last week, which came at a good time, but expectations are always low for this team, and facing the Bulldogs isn’t an ideal first-up opponent. The Dogs are physical and the Titans don’t enjoy a physical contest.
Back the Bulldogs to cover the –8.5 spread.
Betting tip: Bulldogs –8.5 @ $1.90
