NRL Round 4 Tips

Thursday 27/3/25

8:00pm South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Penrith Panthers @ Accor Stadium

It’s strange to see the Panthers sitting in 12th position on the NRL ladder, but it hasn’t been an easy time for them, especially with Nathan Cleary getting knocked out last week.

He will miss Thursday’s game against the Rabbitohs, which is concerning. The Panthers are –11.5 favourites, which is a sizable line given their injury concerns.

We’re happy to take the Rabbitohs with the points at home.

Betting tip: Rabbitohs +11.5 @ $1.90

Friday 28/3/25

6:00pm Sydney Roosters vs Gold Coast Titans @ Allianz Stadium

The Gold Coast Titans showed plenty of excitement when beating Newcastle last week, and they could pull off an upset over the Roosters.

Punters get $2.49 for the Titans to post an upset, and those odds are tough to look away from, especially given the Roosters’ inability to score in the second half against the Roosters.

It should be a close game, so the +4.5 is also worth taking.

Betting tip: Titans @ $2.49

8:00pm Dolphins vs Brisbane Broncos @ Suncorp Stadium

The Dolphins had every chance to win last week but they didn’t play as well as expected, so the Broncos should take advantage on Friday.

After winning easily in Round 1, the Broncos haven’t been as good since. However, it’s still early, and as the market suggests, they should account for the Dolphins with ease.

We’re backing the Broncos to cover the –14.5 spread.

Betting tip: Broncos –14.5 @ $1.90

Broncos by 18

Saturday 29/3/25

3:00pm St George Dragons vs Melbourne Storm @ Netstrata Jubilee Stadium

We thought the Storm would be shorter favourites than –7.5, so we’re jumping on that line before it moves throughout the week.

The Storm are the best team in the competition, and although the Dragons typically play well at this venue, the class and depth of the Storm should shine through.

We envision a double-digit victory for the road team.

Betting tip: Storm –7.5 @ $1.90

Storm by 12

5:30pm North Queensland Cowboys vs Canberra Raiders @ Country Bank Stadium

The Cowboys showed improvement last week when pushing the Broncos to within 12 points, but there still doesn’t seem to be much direction.

Facing the Raiders could help them get back to winning for, with the Raiders putting in a disappointing performance last week. They weren’t the same team we saw in the opening two weeks, which is typical of the Raiders.

Bookmakers can’t split them, but we’re leaning the Cowboys.

Betting tip: Cowboys @ $1.92

7:35pm Cronulla Sharks vs Canterbury Bulldogs @ Sharks Stadium

The Sharks defeated the Rabbitohs 27-12 last week and they now face a tough test against the in-form Bulldogs.

It’s never going to be pretty for the Bulldogs, but they are good at winning close games, which makes the +11.5 line attractive on Saturday night.

Cronulla is the better team, but we can’t see it winning by two converted tries.

Betting tip: Bulldogs +11.5 @ $1.90

Sharks by 8

Sunday 30/3/25

4:05pm Manly Sea Eagles vs Parramatta Eels @ 4 Pines Park

The Sea Eagles bounced back from a loss to the Warriors in fine fashion last week, which was great to see. They put injuries aside and played well, and the Eels could be in for a long afternoon.

There isn’t much for Eels’ fans to get excited about, especially with the impending departure of Dylan Brown, which makes matters worse.

The –16.5 line is big, but given how they’ve played so far, the Sea Eagles should be dominant.

Betting tip: Sea Eagles –16.5 @ $1.90

6:15pm Wests Tigers vs New Zealand Warriors @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium

We’re in for a good Sunday afternoon game as the in-form Tigers and Warriors battle for a top four spot.

The Tigers come off consecutive wins and it was good to see them dig deep and come from behind last week. The Warriors were equally as impressive when holding the Roosters to no second-half points.

Consistency isn’t easy for either team, but we’re backing the Warriors at a better price.

Betting tip: Warriors @ $2.30
