NRL Round 22 Tips

Thursday 31/7/25

7:50pm Eels vs. Storm @ CommBank Stadium

Betting Tip: Eels +10.5 @ $1.90

The Eels have a chance to be giant killers to close out the year, and they did just that against the Broncos last week.

It was a good win from the Eels, who only play well with Mitchell Moses in the team, and with the Storm losing Jahrome Hughes to a dislocated shoulder, they’re without one of their best playmakers.

That should allow the Eels to keep it close at home, so take the +10.5 line.

Storm by 4

Friday 1/8/25

6:00pm Warriors vs. Dolphins @ Go Media Stadium

Betting Tip: Dolphins @ $2.13

The Warriors suffered a poor loss to the Titans last week, and with some injury problems coming their way, it could be a tough stretch for them.

Conversely, the Dolphins have had time to recover with a bye week, and their electric offence could set Auckland alight on Friday night.

Getting $2.13 for the Dolphins is too good to pass up.

Dolphins by 6

8:00pm Broncos vs. Rabbitohs @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Broncos –15.5 @ $1.90

The Broncos were big favourites against the Eels last week when losing and they’re big favourites again to beat the Rabbitohs.

Despite last week’s failure, we expect them to be far too good for the struggling Rabbitohs, who are a shadow of their former selves. They have struggled to keep their top players on the field, and it’s having an effect.

Brisbane needs to win to have a chance of a home semifinal, so they should be too good.

Broncos by 18

Saturday 2/8/25

3:00pm Titans vs. Panthers @ Cbus Super Stadium

Betting Tip: Panthers –11.5 @ $1.90

At one stage the Panthers didn’t seemingly have a chance of making the finals, but after a string of wins, they’re now eyeing a home semifinal.

It has been blistering form from the defending champions, and although the Titans pulled off an upset win over the Warriors last week, facing the Panthers is a different situation.

We expect the Panthers to roll right through the Titans to cover the –11.5 spread.

Panthers by 16

5:30pm Dragons vs. Raiders @ WIN Stadium

Betting Tip: Raiders –6.5 @ $1.90

The Raiders are the best second-half team in the NRL, and they showed why when putting away the Knights with ease last Sunday.

It was 18-18 at halftime, but the Raiders were just playing with their prey. They now face a struggling Dragons outfit, who continue their trend of looking good on paper but looking horrible on the field.

It’s a game the Raiders should win comfortably, and although we would have preferred a –5.5 line, include –6.5 in your NRL multi picks.

Raiders by 12

7:35pm Sea Eagles vs. Roosters @ 4 Pines Park

Betting Tip: Roosters @ $2.31

The Sea Eagles and Roosters are on the outside looking in, but there is more upside with the Roosters.

They didn’t play too poorly last week, and with the Sea Eagles losing some of their best players, things are starting to pile up on them.

If the Roosters play anywhere near their best, they should win, so take the value $2.31 odds.

Roosters by 4

Sunday 3/8/25

2:00pm Wests Tigers vs. Bulldogs @ CommBank Stadium

Betting Tip: Bulldogs –10.5 @ $1.90

The Bulldogs produced one of their best wins of the year against Manly last week, and given the way the Tigers are folding, it should be another easy victory.

They showed why defensive is the best form of offence against the Sea Eagles before putting them to the sword in the second half with a scoring blitz.

With the finals only a few weeks away, the Bulldogs are a team to follow, especially against one of the worst teams in the NRL.

Bulldogs by 14

4:05pm Sharks vs. Cowboys @ Sharks Stadium

Betting Tip: Cowboys +8.5 @ $1.90

The Cowboys showed good heart when winning last week, and although the Sharks are tough to beat at home, they should keep it close on Sunday evening.

There is a lot on the line for the Sharks and Cowboys, who are trying to make the finals, and that should result in nervous rugby league.

Based on that, it should be a close contest, so take the points with the underdogs.
