NRL Round 2 Tips
—
Thursday 9/3/23
8:00pm Penrith Panthers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs @ BlueBet Stadium
The title defence of the Panthers took a hit in the opening week when they were beaten 13-12 by the Broncos as –13.5 favourites.
We fancied the Broncos to cover the spread on that occasion and we fancy the Rabbitohs to cover the spread this week.
They get +4.5 points following an impressive win over the Sharks, so that form stacks up, and they could pounce on the Panthers, who are suddenly struggling with their confidence.
Betting tip: South Sydney Rabbitohs +4.5 @ $1.90

Panthers vs Rabbitohs – betr Same Game Multi
We’ve teamed up with betr to provide the GoBet Multi for the first game of every round of the 2023 NRL season.
For round 2, we’re taking the Rabbitohs +4.5, Under 38.5 points, and Campbell Graham to score at any time for the Rabbitohs. The Rabbitohs come off a much better Round 1 performance, and we expect a low-scoring grinding contest. Graham comes off a two-try performance, so we fancy his chances to cross at juicy odds.

Friday 10/3/23
6:00pm Parramatta Eels vs Cronulla Sharks @ CommBank Stadium
The Eels played well enough to beat the Storm last week but they couldn’t come up with the goods in the second half.
We thought they played better than the Sharks, who were handled by the Rabbitohs, hence the Eels being favoured to win.
Take the Eels –5.5 for some value. They could score a double-digit victory.
Betting tip: Parramatta Eels –5.5 @ $1.90
Eels by 10
8:05pm Brisbane Broncos vs North Queensland Cowboys @ Suncorp Stadium
We expect big things from the Broncos and Cowboys, so this is naturally a tough pick for us in Round 2.
The Broncos were horribly underrated before the season, and given their talented roster, we don’t think bookies will make the same mistake.
They are favoured to beat the Cowboys, who scored a close win last week. They led 18-0 before the Raiders came firing back.
Given their confidence levels, we’re taking the Broncos to come out ahead.
Betting tip: Brisbane Broncos @ $1.79
Broncos by 4
Saturday 11/3/23
3:00pm Sydney Roosters vs New Zealand Warriors @ Allianz Stadium
The Roosters were embarrassed by the Dolphins last week, but that could be bad news for the Warriors, who usually struggle against the Roosters.
We expect Sydney to come out firing after that loss, and although the Warriors defeated the Knights, we weren’t impressed.
A big win could be coming for the home side.
Betting tip: Sydney Roosters –12.5 @ $1.90
Roosters by 16
5:30pm Dolphins vs Canberra Raiders @ Kayo Stadium
The Dolphins made the perfect start to their NRL campaign with a massive upset win over the Roosters.
It wasn’t the highest quality game, but it could be good enough to beat teams like the Raiders, who lost to the Cowboys.
They made a big comeback only to lose to a late field goal, but given their confidence levels, we’re backing the Dolphins at nice odds.
Betting tip: Dolphins @ $2.75
Dolphins by 2
7:35pm Melbourne Storm vs Canterbury Bulldogs @ AAMI Park
The Storm did enough to beat the Eels last Thursday, but losing Cameron Munster is a big one.
However, they come up against the Bulldogs on Saturday, who were hammered by the Sea Eagles, and we expect their losing record to continue.
It won’t be an easy win for the Storm, but we like them to win against a team struggling with confidence.
Betting tip: Melbourne Storm –7.5 @ $1.90

Sunday 12/3/23
4:05pm Wests Tigers vs Newcastle Knights @ Leichhardt Oval
The Tigers sit in 16th spot and they should get comfortable with being near the bottom of the NRL ladder.
They continue to disappoint fans, and despite playing the Knights on Sunday, we think they deserve to be underdogs.
Newcastle lost to the Warriors, but they have more talent in their side. Take the value odds available with bookmakers.
Betting tip: Newcastle Knights @ $2.35
Knights by 4
6:15pm St George Dragons vs Gold Coast Titans @ Netstrata Jubilee Stadium
We loved the $2.15 odds for the Titans last week and we love the $2 odds for them against the Dragons.
They have a roster that could contest the better teams in the NRL, which aren’t the Dragons, who lost in the opening week.
It will be a close game, so take the better odds for the Titans.
Betting tip: Gold Coast Titans @ $2
