NRL Round 3 Tips

Thursday 9/3/23

8:00pm Manly Sea Eagles vs Parramatta Eels @ 4 Pines Park

The Sea Eagles started their season with a big win before getting the bye last week, so they are fresh and ready to beat the Parramatta Eels.

Parramatta has been disappointing so far. It usually starts the season on fire, but not in 2023, which is a concern.

Take the Sea Eagles to win with home ground advantage, and punters get fair odds from bookmakers.

Betting tip: Manly Sea Eagles @ $1.77

Sea Eagles vs Eels – betr Same Game Multi

We’ve teamed up with betr to provide the GoBet Multi for the first game of every round of the 2023 NRL season.

For round 3, the head-to-head odds for the Sea Eagles are generous, so include that in your same game multi. Over 41.5 points is also entering our calculations. The Sea Eagles look to have an explosive attack, and the Eels are capable of scoring plenty of points as well. We expect the over to hit comfortably. The final inclusion in our multi is Daly Cherry-Evans to score a try. He scored three tries in Round 1, so look for that momentum to continue.

Friday 17/3/23

6:00pm Newcastle Knights vs Dolphins @ McDonald Jones Stadium

Who would have expected to see the Dolphins at the top of the NRL table and favoured to beat the Knights?

Their over/under season wins total was 4.5, so expectations couldn’t have been lower, but that’s Wayne Bennett for you.

They have more momentum than the Knights, so we’re expecting the winning run to continue.

Betting tip: Dolphins @ $1.80

8:00pm Sydney Roosters vs South Sydney Rabbitohs @ Allianz Stadium

If the Roosters want to be a title threat, they will need to play much better than their first two games.

They lost to the Dolphins before struggling to beat the Warriors, so they’ll need to improve out of sight to beat the Rabbitohs.

However, they are always up for this game, and punters get value odds at $2.05. That’s about the best price you’ll get for the Roosters, and we can’t pass it up.

Betting tip: Sydney Roosters @ $2.05

Saturday 18/3/23

3:00pm Gold Coast Titans vs Melbourne Storm @ Cbus Super Stadium

Gold Coast had a great chance to win on Sunday but they couldn’t take their chances against the Dragons.

That’s not good when facing the Storm, who were smashed by the Canterbury Bulldogs of all teams last week.

Not having Cameron Munster proved vital, and although he’s not there this week, the Storm should bounce back and give the Titans a lesson.

Betting tip: Melbourne Storm –6.5 @ $1.90

5:30pm North Queensland Cowboys vs New Zealand Warriors @ Country Bank Stadium

The Cowboys couldn’t match the Broncos in the second half last week, which was a disappointing effort.

However, they have more going for them than the Warriors, and that should result in a comfortable win on Saturday night.

The Warriors played solidly against the Roosters, but the lack of cohesion is worrying, especially against a well-drilled Cowboys outfit.

Betting tip: North Queensland Cowboys –9.5 @ $1.90

7:35pm Brisbane Broncos vs St George Dragons @ Suncorp Stadium

The Broncos have come out humming, as we expected, and that winning run should continue against the Dragons.

They have shown their power and it’s a good sign for the future. However, covering an 11.5 line won’t be easy.

That’s a big number, and although they are the much better team, we don’t think there will be that much between them.

Betting tip: St George Dragons +11.5 @ $1.90

Broncos by 6

Sunday 19/3/23

4:05pm Canterbury Bulldogs vs Wests Tigers @ Belmore Sports Ground

The Bulldogs couldn’t have played any better against the Storm last week, scoring 26-12 in a dominant effort.

That momentum could carry over to the Tigers, who are likely to struggle for most of the year.

Punters get the Bulldogs at –6.5, which could move throughout the week, so we’re suggesting to lock it in.

Betting tip: Canterbury Bulldogs –6.5 @ $1.90

6:15pm Canberra Raiders vs Cronulla Sharks @ GIO Stadium

The Raiders vs Sharks is always tough to predict, but we believe the Sharks are the slightly better team.

Beating the Raiders on the road is never easy, but the Sharks have a team capable of making the top four, so we must pick them.

The –3.5 line is fair and it’s low enough to take in what should be a tight tussle.

Betting tip: Cronulla Sharks –3.5 @ $1.90
