NRL Round 21 Tips

Thursday 24/7/25
As the finals approach, the Storm need to get back to their best, and we predict a bounce back performance following a loss to the Sea Eagles.
They didn’t play their best league last week, but against a Roosters team coming off a poor loss to the Sharks, the Storm should capitalise and get back into the minor premiership hunt with a comfortable victory.
Sydney has a lot of injury concerns, which isn’t unusual, so Melbourne should take advantage.

The Cowboys are a much better team on paper than on the field, but we’re happy to stick with them against the Dragons, who are now without Valentine Holmes for the rest of the season.
The Dragons pushed the Bulldogs close last week, but they don’t often produce two good performances in a row, and losing Holmes will have a bigger affect this week.
If the Cowboys want any momentum heading into 2026, they need a big performance, and playing at home is the ideal place.

Fresh off a much-needed bye week, the Broncos should be ready to show their best against the struggling Eels.
There hasn’t been any money come for the Eels with early betting markets, and we’re not surprised. The Broncos are one of the form teams in the competition, and they’re peaking at the right time.
Covering a –13.5 spread against a team playing without its best players shouldn’t be hard for a Broncos team with its talent.

The Warriors used their get out of jail free card last week against Newcastle. Tanah Boyd’s drop goal attempt was charged down, but the Warriors scooped up the loose ball before running 40m to score the winning try.
It was the most dramatic end to a game all year, and the Warriors should use that energy to easily handle the struggling Titans on Saturday afternoon.
New Zealand plays some of its best footy in the afternoon in Auckland, so it should be a one-sided affair.

We’re going with another favourite to cover the spread, which is more common towards the end of the regular season as the bad teams get tired.
We class the Wests Tigers as a bad team despite winning last week. They haven’t been playing well enough to keep it close against a Panthers team that has eyes on another title despite a slow start to the year.
Punters should be confident in the Panthers getting it done easily.

The Rabbitohs were no match for the Panthers last week, but they’re good enough to keep it close against the Sharks.
Consistency has been a problem for the Sharks in the second half of the year, and although they looked impressive last week, doing that again on the road won’t be easy against a desperate Rabbitohs outfit.
Getting a +11.5 start is enough to include the Rabbitohs in your NRL predictions.

The Raiders continued their winning run last week and they should have no problem accounting for the struggling Knights on Sunday.
Newcastle had the game wrapped up against the Warriors before letting their guard slip with no time left on the clock, and it continues to show why it’s not an 80-minute team.
Given their scoring talent, the Raiders could put up a big score, so take them to cover the –12.5 spread.

The Bulldogs aren’t playing as well as they were to start the year, but we think they’re good enough to hand the Sea Eagles a loss.
Manly comes off a good win over the Storm, but it’s another team that has struggled with consistency, and the Bulldogs’ defence should do the job.
It’s a statement game for the Bulldogs to show they’re still a premiership contender, so back them to cover the –3.5 spread.
