NRL Round 9 Tips
—
Friday 2/5/25
6:00pm Sharks vs Eels @ Suncorp Stadium
The Sharks blew a good chance to beat the Tigers in golden point on Sunday, and that loss could have an impact on how well they play this week.
It was a win given away by the struggling team, which despite being one of the favourites preseason, has slipped to seventh.
The Eels enjoyed a bye last week, and with Mitch Moses back, they could be a different team, so take the $2.69 head-to-head odds.
Betting tip: Eels @ $2.69

Use Code: 'GOBET500'8:05pm Roosters vs Dolphins @ Suncorp Stadium
The Dolphins had a 28-10 halftime lead over the Raiders last week before being outscored 30-0 in the second half. It was a woeful collapse, and for that reason, we’re backing the Roosters to pile on the hurt this week.
It hasn’t been vintage rugby league from the Roosters, who are 13th on the NRL ladder, but this pick is more about not trusting the Dolphins more than anything else.
The Roosters also come off a big Anzac Day win over St George-Illawarra, so the $1.89 odds are good value.
Betting tip: Roosters @ $1.89

Saturday 3/5/25
3:00pm Rabbitohs vs Knights @ Suncorp Stadium
The Knights lack of offence is a big concern, and it reared its ugly head against the Warriors last week. Looking to take advantage are the Rabbitohs, who are paying much better than we expected.
Bookmakers have the Rabbitohs at $1.72, and we expect those odds to firm considerably throughout the week. It’s a generous price for a team that pushed the Storm close last week.
They’re one of our more confident bets of the week.
Betting tip: Rabbitohs @ $1.72

Two form teams of the NRL clash on Saturday as the Warriors and Cowboys battle at Suncorp Stadium.
We have been impressed by the Warriors more than the Cowboys, and the Warriors have a good recent record against the Cowboys, winning 42-12 last year.
That’s the best guide, and the Warriors are $1.95, which is a good price considering how many fans the Warriors have in Queensland.
Betting tip: Warriors @ $1.95
Warriors by 6
Use Code: 'GOBET500'7:45pm Wests Tigers vs Dragons @ Suncorp Stadium
There is little separating the Wests Tigers and Dragons in betting markets, but the confidence is with the Tigers are a golden point win.
The Tigers did well to battle back against the Sharks last week, meanwhile the Dragons were slayed by the Roosters in a one-sided contest.
Based on those performances, we’re backing the Tigers to prevail in a close game.
Betting tip: Wests Tigers @ $1.91

Sunday 4/5/25
1:50pm Titans vs Bulldogs @ Suncorp Stadium
We’re not sure what went wrong for the Bulldogs last week. They had given up six points in three games but were dominated by the Broncos in wet conditions.
Their smaller forward pack couldn’t handle it, but they should bounce back against a moderate Titans outfit, which sits in 14th position on the NRL ladder.
Covering a –12.5 line isn’t easy, but the best way to bounce back from a heavy loss is to score a big win.
Betting tip: Bulldogs –12.5 @ $1.90
Bulldogs by 16
Use Code: 'GOBET500'4:05pm Panthers vs Broncos @ Suncorp Stadium
The Broncos got back to their best form with a win over the Bulldogs last week, and playing at home adds to their appeal.
The Panthers got back to their losing ways last week and it wasn’t good to see. It was a poor effort from the four-time premiers, who have lost their magic touch in 2025.
Therefore, we’re going with the Broncos to get back into the top four on Sunday.
Betting tip: Broncos @ $1.67

Use Code: 'GOBET500'6:25pm Storm vs Raiders @ Suncorp Stadium
The Raiders were impressive to come from 28-10 down against the Dolphins, but they can’t be that far behind against the Storm.
Melbourne is a –5.5 favourite, and although its form over the last few weeks has been inconsistent, the Storm are still the team to beat in 2025.
We’re happy with the –5.5 line, which could move to more than a converted try.
Betting tip: Storm –5.5 @ $1.90
