NRL Round 5 Tips

Thursday 30/3/23

8:00pm Sydney Roosters vs Parramatta Eels @ Allianz Stadium

The Sydney Roosters enjoyed the week off last week, which couldn’t have come at a better time.

They had some battered bodies after beating the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Round 3, which sets them up nicely against the Eels on Thursday.

Parramatta finally scored a win over the Panthers last Thursday, but it faces another tricky opponent.

We’re happy to take the Roosters to win at home. They have a dangerous outfit that can pile on the points quicky.

Betting tip: Sydney Roosters -5.5 @ $1.90

Roosters 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 5, bookmakers have the Roosters at –5.5 and that’s a fair line. Given their roster, we expect them to cover the spread, and send a message to the other teams. It should also be a low-scoring contest as both defences are quality, so under 39.5 points is worth including in the same game multi. To cap it off, include Daniel Tupou to score a try. The winger could climb above everyone and score off a cross-field kick.

Friday 31/3/23

6:00pm Canberra Raiders vs Penrith Panthers @ GIO Stadium

The Canberra Raiders looked terrible when losing to the Knights on Sunday, so we can’t entertain their chances against the Panthers, who are wounded and dangerous.

Penrith lost a thriller in golden point to the Eels last week, and although it’s a loss, they should rebound with a big win over the Raiders.

Look for Nathan Cleary to control the game and produce a masterclass.

Betting tip: Penrith Panthers –8.5 @ $1.90

8:00pm South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Melbourne Storm @ Accor Stadium

When the Rabbitohs are on their game, there aren’t too many teams that can stick with them.

That was the case last week when they gripped onto a victory against the Manly Sea Eagles, which should have them in high spirits.

Playing the Storm is never easy, but despite coming off a 24-12 over the Tigers, it wasn’t a convincing effort against one of the worst teams in the comp.

Take the Rabbitohs to come away with the victory.

Betting tip: South Sydney Rabbitohs –4.5 @ $1.90

Saturday 1/4/23

3:00pm Manly Sea Eagles vs Newcastle Knights @ Glen Willow Oval

The Knights won against the Raiders last week, but we don’t expect them to beat the Sea Eagles on Saturday.

However, bookmakers have 14.5 points between them in the market, and that is a tough cover for any team. We have no doubt that Manly will win, but it should be closer than expected.

Take the Knights with the points.

Betting tip: Newcastle Knights +14.5 @ $1.90

Sea Eagles by 12

5:30pm St George Dragons vs Dolphins @ WIN Stadium

We are surprised by the odds from the sportsbook. The Dragons were demoralised by the Sharks last week, and the Dolphins lost no admirers when losing to the Broncos.

Punters get $2 for the Dolphins, which seems too good to be true. We wouldn’t back the Dragons with stolen money, so it wouldn’t matter who they are playing.

Take the value on offer before the odds flip.

Betting tip: Dolphins @ $2

7:35pm Brisbane Broncos vs Wests Tigers @ Suncorp Stadium

It’s the best against the worst, and punters should expect the Broncos to put up a cricket score line on Saturday.

The current margin with bookmakers is 15.5 points, which could be generous for the home team. The Broncos are unbeaten, and do not look like stopping.

The margin could move out to around 18.5 points by the end of the week.

Betting tip: Brisbane Broncos –15.5 @ $1.90

Sunday 2/4/23

4:05pm Cronulla Sharks vs New Zealand Warriors @ PointsBet Stadium

The Cronulla Sharks turned on the jets last week when smashing the Dragons 40-8, but we expect a closer contest.

New Zealand has been solid in 2023, which is unexpected. It comes off a gritty win over the Canterbury Bulldogs, so there’s no reason why it can’t cover the +10.5 spread.

Cronulla should win but the Kiwis should keep it close.

Betting tip: New Zealand Warriors +10.5 @ $1.90

Sharks by 8

6:15pm Canterbury Bulldogs vs North Queensland Cowboys @ Accor Stadium

The Canterbury Bulldogs didn’t show much against the Warriors, but they play a Cowboys team without confidence.

We expected big things from the Cowboys, and despite beating the Titans last week, it wasn’t a convincing effort.

However, it could be enough to see them beat the Bulldogs.

Betting tip: North Queensland Cowboys @ $1.80
