NRL Round 27 Tips

Thursday 5/9/24
7:50pm Brisbane Broncos vs Melbourne Storm @ Suncorp Stadium
The Broncos lost their chance of making the playoffs when getting hammered by the Dolphins last week.
That doesn’t bode well against the Storm, who have been afforded the pleasure of resting players before the finals.
However, we expect them to be back to their best and put up a big win over the struggling Broncos.
Betting tip: Storm –7.5 @ $1.90

Friday 6/9/24
6:00pm Wests Tigers vs Parramatta Eels @ Campbelltown Stadium
The Eels have shown solid form at the tail-end of the season, as the worst NRL teams battle it out.
They should have the edge over the Tigers, who were our pick to win the Wooden Spoon and they haven’t disappointed.
Only pride is on the line this Friday, but the Eels are the better bet at –3.5.
Betting tip: Eels –3.5 @ $1.90

8:00pm South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Sydney Roosters @ Accor Stadium
The Rabbitohs have been awful in 2024, and the Roosters should put up a big number on them.
Looking to enter the finals with momentum, the Roosters won’t want to let the foot off the gas pedal in the final game of the regular season.
Covering a –9.5 line isn’t easy, but we expect the Rabbitohs to roll over and not put up much of a fight.
Betting tip: Roosters -9.5 @ $1.90

Saturday 7/9/24
3:00pm St George Dragons vs Canberra Raiders @ Netstrata Jubilee Stadium
The Dragons had their chance to make the finals but blew it, and it’s another disappointing year for them.
It has also been a bad year for the Raiders, and we’re not sure how Ricky Stuart is still coaching this struggling side.
However, we’re predicting some off-season moves, and Stuart could go out a winner, and punters get better odds for the visitors.
Betting tip: Raiders @ $2.30
Raiders by 4
5:30pm Canterbury Bulldogs vs North Queensland Cowboys @ Accor Stadium
There won’t be much between the Bulldogs and Cowboys, but we expect the Bulldogs to play with more consistency.
The thing lacking with the Cowboys is their inability to stay switched on, and it has cost them many wins throughout the year.
Canterbury isn’t as talented but it plays for the full 80 minutes, so we’re backing it to win and cover the NRL spread.
Betting tip: Bulldogs –2.5 @ $1.99
Bulldogs by 4
7:35pm Penrith Panthers vs Gold Coast Titans @ BlueBet Stadium
The Panthers need to get back to their best form, and that’s likely against a Titans team already looking forward to their holiday.
It has been an interesting year for the three-time defending champions, but they are still second on the NRL ladder, which is testament to their class.
Covering the –16.5 line is well within their reach.
Betting tip: Panthers –16.5 @ $1.90

Sunday 8/9/24
2:00pm Manly Sea Eagles vs Cronulla Sharks @ 4 Pines Park
The Sharks don’t have much mental fortitude, which was on show against the New Zealand Warriors last week.
They fell apart in the second half, and the Sea Eagles should capitalise on their lack of confidence this Sunday.
Looking to better their position for the finals, we expect the Sea Eagles to come out firing and cover the –1.5 spread.
Betting tip: Sea Eagles –1.5 @ $1.90
Sea Eagles by 8
4:05pm Newcastle Knights vs Dolphins @ McDonald Jones Stadium
The Dolphins stayed in the top eight with a win over the Broncos, but beating Newcastle in Newcastle is hard to do.
There will be a massive crowd on hand to see their team make the finals, and we’re happy to see the fairytale finish come off.
Bookmakers have the Knights at –1.5, which has been confidently backed, so take the current line available.
Betting tip: Knights –1.5 @ $1.81
