NRL Round 8 Tips

Thursday 20/3/23

7:50pm South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Penrith Panthers @ Accor Stadium

The Rabbitohs have been in a destructive mood lately, but playing the Panthers is a different kettle of fish.

They racked up big scores against lesser teams, and although Penrith isn’t playing its best, we believe the defending champions will be too good.

$1.50 for head-to-head odds is worth including in your NRL picks.

Betting tip: Penrith Panthers @ $1.50

Panthers by 6


Rabbitohs vs Panthers – 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.

We expect a close game to kick off Round 8, so we’re taking the Panthers to win 1-12 because we don’t see them winning by more than two converted tries, in what should be a thrilling contest. Because it should be a tight contest, we are also taking unders in the total points market. For some value, include Brian To’o to score a try. He has been quiet for most of 2023, but he just needs more ball. He should get that against the Rabbitohs’ defence.

Friday 21/3/23

8:00pm Parramatta Eels vs Brisbane Broncos @ TIO Stadium

The Eels were far too good for the Bulldogs on Sunday, but that was to be expected given the Bulldogs injury worries.

Facing the Broncos, who come off a big win, is much more difficult, and we expect the Eels to struggle to keep up.

Despite some poor moments, but Broncos have been the best team, so we’re happy with the –3.5 line with bookmakers.

Betting tip: Brisbane Broncos –3.5 @ $1.90

Saturday 22/4/23

5:30pm Canterbury Bulldogs vs Cronulla Sharks @ Accor Stadium

It’s going to be a tough few weeks for the Bulldogs as they get back to full health, so it’s a good time to avoid betting on them.

The Sharks come off an impressive win against the Sydney Roosters, and that’s an excellent form guide going forward.

Bookmakers have the line at –12.5, which makes it tough, but it could be a one-sided affair.

Betting tip: Cronulla Sharks –12.5 @ $1.60

7:35pm North Queensland Cowboys vs Newcastle Knights @ Country Bank Stadium

All is not well with the North Queensland Cowboys, but with their backs against the wall, they should muster something.

They play the Newcastle Knights, who should have beaten the Panthers. They lost in golden point, but that could take the wind out of their sails.

If the Cowboys can’t beat the Knights, they’re just about done for the season.

Betting tip: North Queensland Cowboys –4.5 @ $1.96

Sunday 23/4/23

2:00pm Dolphins vs Gold Coast Titans @ Suncorp Stadium

We think there is more momentum with the Gold Coast Titans, who are likely to finish ahead of the Dolphins when it’s all said and done.

Despite being hammered by the Rabbitohs, bookmakers have the Dolphins narrowly favoured. We think the odds should be the other way around.

Take the Titans at a value price.

Betting tip: Gold Coast Titans @ $2.10

4:05pm Wests Tigers vs Manly Sea Eagles @ Campbelltown Stadium

The Sea Eagles bounced back to their best with a win over the Storm, and we see that momentum continuing against the Tigers.

Wests always seem to play better on ANZAC weekend, but given their current form, we can’t muster enough to back them outright.

However, getting 9.5 points is a lot, so include the Tigers +9.5 in your selections.

Betting tip: Wests Tigers +9.5 @ $1.90

Sea Eagles by 8

Tuesday 25/4/23

4:05pm Sydney Roosters vs St George Dragons @ Allianz Stadium

The Roosters haven’t been at their best, but this is usually the time when they strike.

They get the bonus of playing the Dragons, who haven’t been playing well, and they come off a disappointing loss to the Raiders.

This is a game where the Roosters could open up and produce a big score. The line is 12.5, so they’ll need to play well.

Betting tip: Sydney Roosters –12.5 @ $1.50

7:00pm Melbourne Storm vs New Zealand Warriors @ AAMI Park

We love the Storm vs Warriors ANZAC Day game, and we expect the Warriors to be in the mix.

They usually get beaten in this game, but they have been playing sticky this year, and the Storm haven’t been at their best.

Getting +12.5 points is a luxury for a team with only two losses on their record.

Betting tip: New Zealand Warriors +12.5 @ $1.90
