NRL Round 27 Expert Tips & Predictions 2026

The NRL continues this week for Round 27 action – the final round of the home-and-away 2026 NRL season – kicking off with the Bulldogs vs. Broncos on Thursday night. 

GoBet has ecpert NRL betting tips for every game in 2026, including this week’s featured games between the Rabbitohs vs. Roosters, Warriors vs. Sea Eagles, and Sharks vs. Storm.

Thursday 3/9/26 

The Bulldogs are out of finals contention with a loss to Penrith last week, but they could end the year with a win. 

It hasn’t been a good year for the Bulldogs and Broncos, but the Bulldogs are playing with effort, and the Broncos look ready to book their holiday. 

It’s a tricky game to predict but take the Bulldogs to come up with the goods.

Friday 4/9/26 

The Dolphins are heading into the NRL Finals with a stack of momentum after thrashing the Roosters last week, and that win holds them in good stead. 

They have improved to third on the NRL ladder, and we can’t see the Titans doing enough to stick with the high-powered Dolphins attack. 

The -11.5 line is likely to move throughout the week, so lock in the early value.

It’s a big occasion for the Rabbitohs, with Jai Arrow set to play his 100th game for the club. That could be enough to spur the Rabbitohs on, as it did last week. 

There are big concerns for the Roosters, who lost heavily to the Dolphins last week, and that included an injury to Sam Walker. 

They’re not firing on all cylinders, and the Rabbitohs love this rivalry, so take the -1.5 line.

Saturday 5/9/26 

The Warriors defeated the Knights last week to regain the top spot on the ladder, but they’ll need to produce a much better effort to beat the Sea Eagles. 

They had a one-man advantage for most of the game, and it was a sloppy performance. However, with the Sea Eagles out of contention and the Warriors playing for the minor premiership, they should score a comfortable win. 

The Panthers have an easy game, so the Warriors need to win by a good margin.

The Cowboys and Raiders have nothing but pride to play for, but with it being Josh Papali’i’s last game, the Raiders could play best. 

He has been a stalwart of the club for years, and if they can’t get up for him, that would be a disappointing result for the Green Machine. 

They get a +6.5 line from bookmakers, which is more than enough. 

Raiders by 4 

The Sharks might be fifth on the NRL ladder, but they are stumbling into the finals with some shocking results under their belt. 

They were thrashed by the Eels last Sunday in one of their worst performances of the year, so we don’t hold out much hope for them. 

The Storm should end the season well, so take the $2.30 odds.

Sunday 6/9/26 

Pride is on the line for the Dragons and Eels, in what could be an exciting contest to kick off Sunday action. 

The Eels have better recent form, but with a look towards 2027, the Dragons should want to play their best footy in the final game of the year. 

NRL odds suggest a close game is likely, and we have the Dragons winning narrowly. 

Dragons by 2 

The Panthers might need to cover the spread to win the minor premiership, so we think they’ll be at the top of their game on Sunday. 

It hasn’t been an easy time lately for the Panthers, but they knuckled down to beat the Bulldogs last week, and the Tigers are a much worse team. 

The -10.5 line is generous for the best team in footy.
