NRL Round 6 2026 Expert Tips & Predictions

The NRL continues this week for Round 6 action, kicking off with the Bulldogs vs. Panthers on Thursday night.

We have NRL betting tips for every game in 2026, including this week’s featured games between the Broncos vs. Cowboys, Rabbitohs vs. Raiders, and Storm vs. Warriors.

Thursday 9/4/26

7:50pm Bulldogs vs. Panthers @ Accor Stadium

Betting Tip: Bulldogs +16.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Bulldogs haven’t been at their best, and the Panthers have dominated. However, covering a 16.5-point spread is tough, and the Bulldogs should keep it close.

Playing the Panthers could be exactly what the Bulldogs need to get them firing. They know they’re playing the best team in the competition, and their defence will be tested.

We have the Bulldogs losing outright, but it should be in the 12-16-point range.

Friday 10/4/26

6:00pm Dragons vs. Sea Eagles @ WIN Stadium

Betting Tip: Sea Eagles –5.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Sea Eagles came to life with a massive win over the Dolphins last week, and they could pounce on the struggling Dragons.

There is nothing going right for the Dragons, who looked disinterested last week, and we don’t think it will be long until something changes with management.

Covering a –5.5 spread shouldn’t be too hard for a team now playing with confidence.

8:00pm Broncos vs. Cowboys @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Cowboys @ $2.10

BET NOW

The Cowboys have turned around their poor start to the year with three straight wins, including a one-sided win over the Dragons last week.

We favour them to beat the Broncos, who picked up a couple of major injuries last week, including a facial fracture for Reece Walsh, and he’s a big loss. The Cowboys could jump on them early, and the $2.10 odds are worth taking.

A confident Cowboys team is tough to beat, so ride the momentum with them.

Saturday 11/4/26

3:00pm Rabbitohs vs. Raiders @ Optus Stadum

Betting Tip: Rabbitohs –6.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Raiders have been a big surprise this season. They sit in 16th spot on the NRL ladder after losing heavily to the Knights last week.

That doesn’t bode well against the Rabbitohs this week, who have been strong, and although most of the early money is with the Raiders to cover the spread, that enthusiasm might not last during the week.

We’re backing the better team to come up trumps, especially at home.

Rabbitohs by 10

5:30pm Sharks vs. Roosters @ Optus Stadium

Betting Tip: Sharks @ $1.97

BET NOW

We were impressed by the Sharks last week, scoring an easy win over the Warriors, and they are good enough to double down against the Roosters.

It hasn’t been a good start to the season for the Roosters, who are dealing with injury concerns, which is an all too familiar feeling for Roosters’ fans.

Given how well they played last week, the Sharks at $1.97 is a good price.

Sharks by 6

7:35pm Storm vs. Warriors @ AAMI Park

Betting Tip: Storm –6.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Warriors don’t have a good record at AAMI Park, and after losing two of their best players to injury last week, their losing slide could continue.

The Storm sits in an unfamiliar spot outside the top eight after a string of losses, but they should bounce back against a Warriors team heading in the wrong direction.

If the best version of the Storm turns up, they should cover the –6.5 spread with ease.

Sunday 12/4/26

2:00pm Eels vs. Titans @ CommBank Stadium

Betting Tip: Titans +7.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Titans have struggled so far, but they didn’t play too poorly against the Broncos last week, and they were a touch unlucky.

If they play a solid defensive game, they should go close to beating the Eels, and getting a +7.5 start is enough to include them in our NRL picks this week.

It could come down to who wins the final 20 minutes, so take the Titans with the points.

4:05pm Wests Tigers vs. Knights @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium

Betting Tip: Knights +3.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

We backed the Knights to win last week as underdogs and got the chocolates, so we’re sticking with them.

After pumping the Raiders, they are full of confidence, and they have done well to post wins without two of their best players in Kayln Ponga and Dylan Brown.

The Tigers are a solid team, but it should be a close contest.
