NRL Round 6 Tips

Thursday 15/04/21

7:50pm Brisbane Broncos vs Penrith Panthers @ Suncorp Stadium

The Broncos host the Panthers to kick off Round 6 and they’re desperate for something good to happen this season.

It has been a rough start for the Broncos and it was made worse by losing heavily to the South Sydney Rabbitohs last Thursday night. Something needs to change, otherwise they’ll be up against it again this week.

Penrith comes off an impressive win over Canberra, but they have 26.5 points to cover. That is a sizable margin and Brisbane should be able to keep it closer.

Betting tip: Brisbane Broncos +26.5 @ $1.90 – Bet @ Sportsbet

6:00pm Newcastle Knights vs Cronulla Sharks @ McDonald Jones Stadium

The Knights and Sharks come off disappointing Round 5 losses and we’re not sure which loss was worse.

Cronulla held a 12-4 halftime lead against the injury-ravaged Sydney Roosters, but they weren’t good enough in the second half, losing 26-18.

Newcastle’s injuries caught up to them against Gold Coast, losing 42-16. It was a one-sided affair and bouncing back this week could be tough.

Take the Sharks to score a close victory.

7:55pm Melbourne Storm vs Sydney Roosters @ AAMI Park

Two of the NRL’s best battle on Friday night as the red-hot Melbourne Storm welcome the tough Roosters into town.

Melbourne might be sitting sixth on the ladder, but it’s one of the best teams in the competition this season. Ryan Papenhuizen has been electric and they haven’t done much wrong.

Sydney battled back impressively to beat Cronulla last week but this is a much harder task. Melbourne will be tough to beat at home and they have no injury problems to worry about.

Sydney’s young halves pairing could struggle against the experience of the Storm.

Betting tip: Melbourne Storm –8.5 @ $1.90 – Bet @ Sportsbet

3:00pm Manly Sea Eagles vs Gold Coast Titans @ Glen Willow Oval

We knew the Manly Sea Eagles would find form against the Warriors last week, but can it continue in Round 6?

It won’t be easy against a Gold Coast outfit that put up a big number on the Knights last week. It was an impressive display and it should give the Titans going forward.

Manly is capable of going back-to-back, especially at a country venue. We believe this team can string wins together, but take the +6 points for safety.

Betting tip: Manly Sea Eagles +6 @ $1.90 – Bet @ Sportsbet

7:30pm South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Wests Tigers @ Stadium Australia

The Rabbitohs had a good tune-up for this game when beating the Broncos with ease last Thursday.

There wasn’t much standing in their way, but it was a quality win. They now meet a team that’s heading in the wrong direction after losing to the North Queensland Cowboys on Sunday.

Wests made a good comeback in the second half, but the damage was done early. It’s not a good form guide for this game and the Rabbitohs should have too much firepower.

Betting tip: South Sydney Rabbitohs –17.5 @ $1.90 – Bet @ Sportsbet

7:35pm Canberra Raiders vs Parramatta Eels @ GIO Stadium

The Eels were shocked by the Dragons last week, so a bounce-back effort against Canberra is needed on Saturday night.

Parramatta was outplayed from the opening whistle and it doesn’t get any easier this week against the Raiders, who were given a reality check against Penrith.

The Raiders were handed a 30-10 loss by the Panthers and many thought the Raiders could win the game. It showed how far behind the top teams they are, so this is an important game for both clubs.

Canberra is the slight favourite to win, which is where we framed the market. There isn’t much between them, but the edge is with the Raiders.

2:00pm St George Dragons vs New Zealand Warriors @ Netstrata Jubilee Stadium

The Dragons couldn’t have been more impressive against the Parramatta Eels and we think their winning streak will stay intact.

St George manhandled a quality Eels team and there is a sense of confidence around this team. The same can’t be said about the Warriors, which suffered another close loss to Manly.

It came at the wrong time for the Warriors and we think they will struggle to keep this game close on Sunday.

Betting tip: St George Dragons –6.5 @ $1.90 – Bet @ Sportsbet

4:05pm North Queensland Cowboys vs Canterbury Bulldogs @ Bank Stadium

We didn’t think North Queensland had a chance to win back-to-back games this season, but the opportunity is there.

It was an important win over the Tigers and now with the Bulldogs coming to town, consecutive wins are well within its reach.

Canterbury is the worst team in the NBA and that was proven last week. The 52-18 loss to Melbourne showed the frailties of this team and it doesn’t bode well.

Bookmakers have the Cowboys as –6 favorites and that’s a generous line.

Betting tip: North Queensland Cowboys –6 @ $1.90 – Bet @ Sportsbet
