NRL Round 3 Tips
—
Thursday 20/3/25
8:00pm Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers @ AAMI Park
It’s no surprise to see the Storm at $1.33, but seeing Penrith at $3.34 is a price most punters wouldn’t have imagined not long ago. The defending champions were beaten by the Roosters last week, and it was their worst performance in years.
Meanwhile, the Storm had a bye following a smashing of the Eels in the opening round, and they should be ready to fire against the Panthers.
We think this could be the year for the Storm, so take them to cover the –8.5 line.
Betting tip: Storm –8.5 @ $1.90

6:00pm New Zealand Warriors vs Sydney Roosters @ Go Media Stadium
The Warriors don’t have a great recent record against the Roosters, but following a tough win over the Sea Eagles last week, the Kiwis should be full of confidence.
They knuckled down and played much better than what they showed in Las Vegas, and although the Roosters come off a big win over Penrith, their injury troubles could catch up to them in Auckland.
We’re happy to take the $1.86 for the Warriors to win, but as always with these two teams, tread carefully.
Betting tip: Warriors @ $1.86

The big disappointment last week as the Broncos losing to the Raiders, but we predicting that they would have an off week following a big win in Round 1.
Consistency has been a struggle for the Broncos over the last few years, and although they can be brilliant, their young stars often try too hard to produce outstanding plays instead of doing the hard yards.
However, against a woeful Cowboys outfit, they should put up a big number and get back to their best.
Betting tip: Broncos –16.5 @ $1.90

3:00pm Cronulla Sharks vs South Sydney Rabbitohs @ Sharks Stadium
Credit the Rabbitohs for being 2-0 despite a lot of injuries, but their winning streak could come to an abrupt end at the hands of the Sharks.
We believe this is a chance for the Sharks to send a message, and bookmakers agree. They are –14.5 favourites against the Rabbitohs, and we think that’s a fair line.
At home, the Sharks are a good team, so they should account for the Rabbits with ease.
Betting tip: Sharks –14.5 @ $1.90

We’re not sure what to make of the Dolphins. They have enough talent to beat teams like the Tigers, but sitting in 15th spot isn’t ideal.
The Tigers lost in Round 1 but bounced back with a thrashing of the awful Eels. However, the Dolphins have strike weapons in their team, and getting $2.01 against the Tigers is a generous price.
We expect most of the money to come for the Dolphins throughout the week.
Betting tip: Dolphins @ $2.01

We are surprised by the odds for this game, which gives us trepidations about taking the Knights. However, we’re locking in the road team to win.
The Knights have looked good so far, sitting in fourth on the NRL ladder, and the Titans were well-handled by the Bulldogs in their first game of the year.
Getting $1.90 for the Knights seems too good to be true, and we can’t turn down those odds.
Betting tip: Knights @ $1.90

4:05pm Parramatta Eels vs Canterbury Bulldogs @ CommBank Stadium
It’s going to be a long year for the Eels, who are not only losing Dylan Brown at the end of the season to the Knights, but they’re currently playing without Mitchell Moses.
They were dealt to by the Tigers of all teams last week, and losing heavily to the Tigers isn’t what you want on your record.
There is good stability with the Bulldogs, who won well against the Titans, and they should continue winning.
Betting tip: Bulldogs –6.5 @ $1.90

Use Code: 'GOBET500'6:15pm Manly Sea Eagles vs Canberra Raiders @ 4 Pines Park
The Sea Eagles were flying high in Round 1 before falling out of the sky last week when losing to the Warriors. Not only did they lose, but Daly Cherry-Evans and Tommy Turbo were injured, so their status remains up in the air.
The Raiders are unbeaten after beating the Warriors and Broncos, and we think they’re being underrated as a $2.56 underdog on Sunday.
There is good value in that price, especially if the Sea Eagles aren’t at full strength.
Betting tip: Raiders @ $2.56
