Ended

The NRL continues with Round 26 action between the Roosters vs. Dolphins on Saturday, August 29 at 5:30pm at Allianz Stadium.

The marquee game of the week is between the Roosters and Dolphins, where the winner will be well-placed inside the top 4.

Best Bet

Dolphins +5.5 @ $1.90

We can make a case for backing both teams, but with the Dolphins hitting form at the right time of the year, they’re tough to bet against.

They scored a one-sided win over the Eels last week, which could have been a tricky game, but most NRL teams can’t stick with the Dolphins’ elite attack, and that could go for the Roosters on Saturday evening.

The Roosters looked like premiership favourites before losing to the Tigers last week, and now we’re not sure where to rank them. That was a poor effort, and they could struggle to rebound with an easy win over the Dolphins.

The Dolphins won 48-10 at Suncorp Stadium in June, and although the Roosters have improved since that loss, that could stick in their minds. We have the Dolphins playing well again, and they have a better offence to put tries on the board.

Dolphins +5.5, Jamayne Isaako Anytime Try Scorer, Selwyn Cobbo Anytime Try Scorer, Over 47.5 @ $7.75

Jamayne Isaako has six tries from his last five games, and the Kiwi international looks to leave a lasting impression at the Dolphins. He is a $1.94 chance to score, which gives a good boost to NRL SGM odds.

Teammate Selwyn Cobbo pays $1.98 to score, and that’s another good price from bookmakers. He has five tries from his last four games, and he should fancy his chance of scoring against the Roosters defence.

Our final score prediction has the Dolphins winning 28-24, so we have over 47.5 cashing for punters.

Best Value Bet

Dolphins 1-12 @ $3.60

Bet Now

Our NRL predictions have the Dolphins scoring an upset win, and it’s likely to come by 1-12 points.

We expect a close contest at Allianz Stadium, and it could come down to who scores the final try of the game. We think that will be the Dolphins, so the $3.60 odds for a 1-12 victory are better than expected.

They’re a top 4 team, so they’re good enough to win on the road.
