NRL Round 8 Tips
—
Thursday 24/4/25
7:50pm Broncos vs Bulldogs @ Suncorp Stadium
The Broncos are suddenly struggling after posting two losses, including a golden point loss to the Warriors in dramatic fashion last week.
Doubling down on their struggles is the loss of Reece Walsh, who will be missing for a few weeks. His loss, coupled with how well the Bulldogs are playing, including a 32-0 win last week, is a recipe for disaster for the home side.
We’re backing the Bulldogs and their brilliant defence to cover the spread.
Betting tip: Bulldogs –4.5 @ $1.90

4:00pm Roosters vs Dragons @ Allianz Stadium
We’re surprised to see the Roosters favoured at $1.78 for the ANZAC Day clash against the Dragons, with the Dragons playing much better.
They come off a good win last week, and with the Roosters languishing in 16th place on the NRL ladder, we’re struggling to find a reason to back them.
Getting $2.08 for the Dragons is too good to pass up.
Betting tip: Dragons @ $2.08

Use Code: 'GOBET500'6:05pm Warriors vs Knights @ Apollo Projects Stadium
The Warriors should their toughness when beating the Broncos in wet conditions last week, and although consistency isn’t a word they know, the Knights are playing terribly.
Scoring points is just too tough for the Knights, so backing them comes with risk. Therefore, we’re backing the Warriors to control the game in Christchurch.
Playing outside of Auckland isn’t ideal, but they have momentum on their side.
Betting tip: Warriors –9.5 @ $1.90

Use Code: 'GOBET500'8:10pm Storm vs Rabbitohs @ AAMI Park
The Storm are still favourites to win the premiership, but they were less than stellar when losing big to the Dolphins last week.
Not having Harry Grant affected them through the middle of the park, but a bounce back effort is highly likely against the Rabbitohs, who failed to score a point against the Bulldogs.
Bookmakers have the NRL line at –13.5, and the Storm have already shown that they’re capable of putting teams to the sword.
Betting tip: Storm -13.5 @ $1.90

5:30pm Cowboys vs Titans @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium
Punters never know what to expect with both the Cowboys and Titans, but based on what the Titans showed last week, we’re going with the Cowboys.
They are rested and ready to show why they’re a top eight threat, despite a poor start to the year. They have the team on paper to win consistently, and it’s just about putting it together on game day.
After leading 16-0 last week, the Titans folded against Canberra, and that’s tough to bounce back from.
Betting tip: Cowboys –5.5 @ $1.90

Use Code: 'GOBET500'7:35pm Panthers vs Sea Eagles @ CommBank Stadium
It was good to see the Panthers back to their brilliant best when putting away the Roosters 40-12 last week, and they could be showing signs of life.
The defending champions take on the Sea Eagles, who played one of their worst games last week when making countless errors on attack.
The Panthers should be in a mood to score points, and they’re good enough to cover the –10.5 spread.
Betting tip: Panthers –10.5 @ $1.90

Sunday 27/4/25
2:00pm Raiders vs Dolphins @ GIO Stadium
The Raiders were down 16-0 against the Titans last Sunday, but they battled back gamely to pull away in the second half.
It was a professional effort from Ricky Stuart’s men, but they’ll have to be better to contain a dangerous midfield of the Dolphins, which torched Melbourne last week.
The Dolphins are paying $2.44, which is too generous to ignore. We’re including them in our NRL Round 8 picks for value.
Betting tip: Dolphins @ $2.44

Use Code: 'GOBET500'4:05pm Wests Tigers vs Sharks @ Leichhardt Oval
The Tigers haven’t been the most consistent team, and although the same can be said for the Sharks, they turned on the jets last week.
They scored a 34-14 win over the Knights, and most of their points given up came late in the game when they had switched off.
Covering a –7.5 spread could be tough for the Sharks, so include Wests Tigers +7.5 to end the week.
Betting tip: Tigers +7.5 @ $1.90
