Betting NRL Round 6 Odds for the Weekend Matchups that Should be Under Your Radar

Previous Betting News

Another great week of National Rugby League matches will be underway, and we have some great action to look forward to. We have arrived at an early point of the season that gives us an early indication of who the stronger and weaker teams clearly are.

Let’s dive into some of the games for the weeks and picks that have decent value to potentially place a wager on NRL on Round 6 games.

Manly Sea Eagles vs. Penrith Panthers

Australia NRL Game Info | Updated NRL Odds
When: Saturday, April 8, 2023
Where: Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville, Australia

Another great matchup between two top teams in the standings. The Sea Eagles currently sit in 4th place in the standings and have lost one game this season. The Panthers are right behind the Eagles in 5th place, but have lost twice this season.

The Sea Eagles have struggled in their last two games; losing in a low-scoring match to the Rabbitohs and then drawing with the Knights could boost their momentum coming into this game.

The Panthers are coming into this game after winning a huge game against the Raiders. They outscored their opponents by 41 points in the last match.

This is going to be an extremely competitive matchup and one of the most anticipated of the weekend. The Panthers are coming into this game against the Sea Eagles as -9.5 favorites.

The Sea Eagles have a great opportunity to cover this spread and even go on to win this match. They should be able to keep this game close in scoring. A win for the Panthers will put them ahead of the Sea Eagles in the standings.

New Zealand Warriors vs. Newcastle Knights

Australia NRL Game Info | Updated NRL Odds
When: Sunday, April 9, 2023
Where: Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville, Australia

The Warriors are entering this matchup with a lot of momentum. They stand as the 2nd place team currently and have been in great form. Their star player at the moment, Shaun Johnson, has been truly impressive with his offensive abilities.

The argument can be made that the Newcastle Knights are evenly matched to make this game competitive. The Knights have not been in the best form so far this season, currently sitting in 11th place with 5 points.

The Oddsmakers believe that this game is much more even than what most might have thought. The Warriors are -0.5 to win the game. This could be a favorable play for how efficient and solid the Warriors have been playing, and being that the Knights are showing signs of cracks.

St George Illawarra Dragons vs. Gold Coast Titans

Australia NRL Game Info | Updated NRL Odds
When: Sunday, April 9, 2023
Where: Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast, Australia

In one of the most anticipated matchups of the weekend, the Titans will face an evenly-matched Dragons team. Both teams are tied in the standings on points, the Titans have the slight advantage on point difference.

 Both teams have conceded more points than scored so far this season. This matchup will give us a better idea of who might have a stronger season in the standings.

The St George Illawarra Dragons are listed at +1.5, and the Gold Coast Titans are listed at -1.5. This close matchup will be a toss-up but should deliver a competitive, entertaining match.

Previous Betting News

The Manly Sea Eagles and Canberra Raiders will both be looking to build on their impressive wins the last time out when they square off in their Round 6 NRL clash on Sunday, June 21.  Now, with Manly looking to stay hot and Canberra looking to avoid their second loss of the season, let’s find out if the Raiders can take care of business at home or whether the Sea Eagles are the pick to get it done despite being on the road, along with their NRL odds.

NRL Sea Eagles Vs Raiders Round 6

Why Bet On The Manly Sea Eagles

Manly is sitting in seventh place in the NRL standings with six points. The Sea Eagles have gone 2-1 at home and 1-1 on the road this season while putting 81 points on the board and allowing 69 points defensively (+12). Manly comes into this matchup off a narrow, 20-18 home win against Brisbane on Thursday. Tevita Funa, Daly Cherry-Evans and Moses Suli all scored tries while Reuben Garrrick went 2-of-3 on conversions and 2 for 2 on penalty kicks. The win helped the Sea Eagles get back in the win column following their 19-16 Round 4 loss against the Eels.

Martin Taupau (dislocated thumb) and Moses Suli (finger) are out, with Brendan Elliot at center and Addin Fonua-Blake at prop. Curtis Sironen returns from injury in the second row for Corey Waddell and Morgan Boyle joins the bench. The Sea Eagles have won nine from 12 at Campbelltown Stadium.

Why Bet On The Canberra Raiders

Canberra is sitting in second place in the NRL standings with eight points. The Raiders have gone 1-1 at home and a perfect 3-0 on the road while putting 98 points on the board and allowing 48 points defensively (+40). The Raiders come into this matchup fresh off a hard-fought 14-6 road win over the Wests Tigers on Saturday. Jack Wighton and Nick Cotric scored on second half tries five minutes apart while Jarrod Cocker went 3 for 2 on conversions while nailing his only penalty kick. The win helped Manly rebound from a 34-18 loss against Newcastle in Round 4.

Corey Horsburgh returns with Dunamis Lui dropping out of the 17, while Hudson Young returns from a lengthy suspension and replaces Bailey Simonsson on the bench. Raiders five-eighth Jack Wighton has scored six tries in his past seven games.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

The Sea Eagles have won two straight and four of five in this rivalry, including a pair of identical four-point thrillers last season. Still, this season, the Raiders have been the better team from the outset and they’re also got the better defense in this matchup. Canberra has limited two of their last three opponents to an identical six points while the Sea Eagles have given up an average of 17 points per game their last two. For me, that slight edge defensively will be what puts the Raiders over the top in this matchup.

Pick: Raiders 22 Sea Eagles 18

Telstra Premiership 2020 Round 6 Matches

Previous Betting News

The Newcastle Knights will look to bounce back from their upset loss in Round 5 when they host the Brisbane Broncos in Round 6 on Thursday, June 18. With the Knights looking to avoid their second loss of the season and the Broncos looking for the big road upset, let’s find out where the best rugby betting value lies in this Round 6 affair so you can make your bets against their NRL odds.

NRL Broncos Vs Knights Round 6

Why Bet On The Knights

Newcastle is sitting in fourth place in the NRL standings with seven points. The Knights have scored 122 points this season while allowing 82 points defensively (+40). New Castle suffered their first loss of the season in falling to the Melbourne Storm at home 26-12 on Saturday. The Knights got scoring tries from Bradman Best and Eldrick Lee and one conversion from Kalyn Ponga while allowing four tries and four conversions in the loss. Ponga added a penalty goal, but the Knights also gave up one to Cameron Smith in the defeat while losing the possession battle 53-47 percent and the meters run matchup 1,932 to 1,697.

New Knights hooker Andrew McCullough will face his former team for the first time after playing 260 matches for the Broncos. Lachlan Fitzgibbon returns from a hamstring injury in the second row, with Aidan Guerra moving to the bench and Brodie Jones out of the side. Five-eighth Kurt Mann has been struggling with an ankle sprain but he should have no dramas suiting up after playing 80 minutes against Melbourne.

Why Bet On The Broncos

Brisbane is sitting in 12th place in the NRL standings with four points. The Broncos have scored 74 points this season while allowing a whopping 152 points defensively (-78). Brisbane comes into this affair off a crushing 20-18 road loss against the Manly Sea Eagles on Thursday.

Kotoni Staggs, Xavier Coates and Darius Boyd all scored tries while Jamayne Issako went 3-for-3 on conversions. Brisbane gave up three tries and a pair of conversions, but also allowed two penalty goals by Reuben Garrick to come up just short of getting the big road win. The Broncos lost the possession battle 54-46 percent and the meters run matchup 1,696 to 1,612.

Staggs has been sidelined after suffering a hamstring injury at training on Sunday. Corey Oates goes back to the wing, Herbie Farnworth moves to centre to cover Staggs, Alex Glenn and Tevita Pangai return in the second row and Joe Ofahengaue moves to the bench, with Rhys Kennedy out of the 17.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

Newcastle is the better offensive team in this pairing, having outscored Brisbane 122-74 and they are also the better defensive club in allowing just 82 points to Brisbane’s 152 points allowed. With that said, and Brisbane already having been beaten three times this season, Newcastle is the easy pick to win this matchup and get back in the win column at home.

Pick: Knights 32 Broncos 18

General Game Info Brisbane Broncos (2-0-3) Vs. Newcastle Knights (3-1-1)

Telstra Premiership 2020 Round 6 Matches

Previous Betting News

The South Sydney Rabbitohs and New Zealand Warriors will both be looking to build on their respective Round 5 wins when they square off in a matchup of teams with identical records on Friday, June 19. Now, with both clubs looking to make a move up the NRL standings, let’s find out which team is offering the best value against their NRL betting odds.

NRL Warriors Vs Rabbitohs Round 6

Why Bet On The Rabbitohs

South Sydney is sitting in 10th place in the NRL standings at four points. The Rabbitohs have scored 92 points this season while allowing 102 points defensively (-10). South Sydney comes into this matchup of a resounding 32-12 win over the Gold Coast Titans on Saturday. Dane Gagai led the way to victory with two scoring tries while fullback Latrell Mitchell, Alex Johnson, Braidon Burns all added solo tries in the win. Adam Reynolds went 5-for-5 on conversions in the win. The Rabbitohs lost the possession battle 53-47 percent but won the meters run matchup, 1,587 t0 1,353. The Souths are unchanged in Round 6 after smacking the Titans around in the last round. James Roberts remains outside the 17 on the extended bench.

Why Bet On The Warriors

New Zealand is sitting in 11th place in the NRL standings at four points. The Warriors have scored just 61 points this season while allowing 92 points defensively (-31). New Zealand comes into this contest off a convincing 37-26 home win over the North Queensland Cowboys on Friday that saw Peta Hiku score a trio of tries while Patrick Herbert, Eliesa Katoa and Adam Pompey all added scoring tries of their own. Kodi Nikorima went 3 for 7 on conversions while adding one penalty goal and one field goal in the win. The Warriors won the possession battle 56-44 percent and the meters run matchup 1,880 to 1,358. The Warriors are unchanged after last week’s win over North Queensland.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

The Warriors have lost three straight in this rivalry and two straight at home including a humbling 31-10 defeat the last time these two rivals met on August 19, 2019. With that said, I like South Sydney to get it done in this affair, mostly because they are playing on their home pitch and have the far better offense in this matchup, having put 92 points on the board this season to the Warriors’ far more modest 61 points. Latrell Mitchell and Dane Gagai will lead the way to victory for the Rabbitohs in this Round 6 matchup.

Pick: Rabbitohs 24 Warriors 20

Telstra Premiership 2020 Round 6 Matches

Previous Betting News

The Penrith Panthers will look to take care of business at home when they host the visiting Melbourne Storm in a huge Round 6 showdown of two teams currently ranked in the top five. With Penrith looking to bounce back from a humbling loss last week and Melbourne looking for the big road win, let’s find out which club is offering the best betting value against their NRL odds.

NRL Storm Vs Panthers Round 6

Why Bet On The Panthers

Penrith is sitting in fifth place in the NRL standings with seven points. The Panthers have scored 102 points this season while allowing 72 points defensively (+30). Penrith comes into this affair off a narrow 16-10 road loss against unbeaten Parramatta on Friday that saw them blow a 10-0 lead. Brian To’o and Josh Mansour scored tries while Nathan Cleary went 1-for-2 on conversions. Defensively, the Panthers gave up a trio of scoring tries and a pair of conversions to Mitchell Moses in the loss. Dylan Edwards returns from injury at fullback, bumping Caleb Aekins to the reserves. Liam Martin replaces the injured Kurt Capewell in the back row and Billy Burns joins the interchange.

Why Bet On The Storm

Melbourne is sitting in third place in the NRL standings with eight points. The Storm have scored 84 points this season while allowing 56 points defensively (+28). Melbourne comes into this matchup off a solid 26-12 road win over Newcastle on Saturday. Ryley Jacks, Suliasi Vunivalu, Tino Faasuamaleaui and Brandon Smith all scored one try while Cameron Smith went 4-for-4 on conversions while adding one penalty goal in the win. Brandon Smith is once again named on the bench despite replacing Christian Welch in the starting side on game day in the past two rounds, and could again be promoted to start on Friday night.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

While both of these clubs have just one loss this season, Melbourne has absolutely dominated Penrith in this rivalry, having won a commanding 18 of the last 20 meetings dating back to 2006 including a 32-2 smackdown at home on March 30, 2019.

The Panthers might be playing at home in this matchup and they might have the better statistical offense in this matchup, but Melbourne has been elite defensively all season long and I just don’t see them letting the Panthers score early and often in this matchup. At this point in their lopsided ‘rivalry’, Melbourne has a psychological advantage and I expect them to use that edge to their advantage to get the hard-fought road win in this Round 6 clash!

Pick: Storm 26 Panthers 20

Telstra Premiership 2020 Round 6 Matches

Previous Betting News

The North Queensland Cowboys will be looking to pull off the road upset when they take on the Wests Tigers in their Round 6 meeting of NRL title hopefuls with identical records on Saturday, June 20. With both clubs looking to bounce back from consecutive losses the last two rounds, let’s find out where the best value lies in this matchup so you can place your bets against their NRL odds.

NRL Cowboys Vs Wests Tigers Round 6

Why Bet On The Tigers

The Tigers are sitting in ninth place in the NRL standings with four points. They’ve scored 105 points this season while allowing 114 points defensively (-9). The Tigers have gone 0-2 at home, but 2-1 on the road. The Tigers head into Round 6 coming off their third loss of the season, though it was a hard-fought 14-6 home defeat against the second place Canberra Raiders that saw them limited to a lone scoring try by Luke Brooks at the 16-minute mark. The Tigers failed on their conversion try and gave up two tries and a pair of conversions to the Raiders.

Second-rower Luciano Leilua is set to play, but he bears watching as he battles a recent ankle injury. Robert Jennings returns on the wing for Tommy Talau. Luke Garner replaces Chris Lawrence in the second row while Matt Eisenhuth and Sam McIntyre replace Alex Seyfarth and the suspended Russell Packer on the interchange. Benji Marshall is sitting on the extended bench.

Why Bet On Cowboys

North Queensland is sitting in eighth place in the NRL standings with four points. The Cowboys have gone 1-2 at home and 1-1 on the road this season while scoring 123 points and giving up 113 points defensively (+10). North Queensland comes into this matchup off a humbling 37-26 road loss against the New Zealand Warriors on Friday. The Boys got a pair of tries and three conversions in five attempts from Kyle Feldt but they gave up seven tries in the loss including a trio to Warriors center Peta Hiku in the loss.

Star duo Valentine Holmes (ankle) and Jordan McLean (calf) are both out of this affair with injuries while Tom Gilbert is suspended. Rookie Hamiso Tabaui-Fidow starts at fullback. Connelly Lemuelu will start on the wing. Francis Molo starts at prop while Ben Hampton, Corey Jensen and Peter Hola join the interchange with Reuben Cotter coming off the bench.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

Let me get started by saying the Wests Tigers have won three straight and four of the last five meetings against the Cowboys including a 28-4 smackdown at home on August 1, 209, the last time they met. Not only that, but while the Tigers lost their second game in a row last week, they did put up a great effort, particularly in the first half against a pretty elite Canberra Raiders club. North Queensland has allowed 53 points the last two weeks combined and they don’t look like they’re going to be able to slow down the Tigers in this one either. Back the favored Wests Tigers to pull out the win in Round 6, mostly because they’re looking for their first home win of the season, they’re completely desperate and playing an opponent that isn’t very good.

Pick: Tigers 28 Cowboys 22

Telstra Premiership 2020 Round 6 Matches

Previous Betting News

The two-time defending champion Sydney Roosters will host the unbeaten Parramatta Eels in a Round 6 showdown that is, not only the best matchup on the entire Round 6 schedule, but what will likely be one of the best affairs of the entire 20202 NRL campaign. With Sydney looking to stay hot and Parramatta looking to remain unbeaten, let’s find out where the best value lies in this highly anticipated showdown when it gets underway on Saturday, June 20 so you can plan ahead your bets against their NRL odds.

NRL Eels Vs Roosters Round 6

Why Bet On The Roosters

Sydney is sitting in sixth place in the NRL standings with six points. The Roosters have gone 1-1 at home and 2-1 on the road this season while scoring 151 points and limiting the opposition to just 47 defensively to lay claim to a league-best 104-point scoring differential. Not only that, but the Tricolours come into this affair riding the wave of a three-game winning streak that includes a record-setting 59-0 shutout win over the Broncos two weeks ago and a 42-6 smackdown of the Bulldogs on Monday.

Superstar fullback James Tedesco, generally regarded as the best player in the game today, scored three tries while Angus Crichton added two tries and Brett Morris and Kyle Flanagan both scored one try apiece. Flanagan also went a perfect 7-for-7 on conversions.

“I think that break refreshed me mentally and then I just got that hunger back for footy when I came back to training, Tedesco told reporters recently.”

Prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (back) should suit up after being close to playing the Bulldogs on Monday. Lindsay Collins goes back to the bench and Sam Verrills replaces Mitchell Aubusson on the interchange, though Verrills was also named in the 17 last week but was dropped for the veteran back-rower. The Roosters have won seven of their past nine games against the Eels.

Why Bet On The Eels

Parramatta is sitting atop the NRL standings with 10 points. The Eels have gone 3-0 at home and a perfect 2-0 on the road while putting 123 points on the board and giving up a league-low 40 points defensively to sit at +83 in scoring differential.

The top-ranked Eels come into this contest off a hard-fought 16-10 win over Penrith on Friday that saw Waqa Blake, Clinton Gutherson and Ryan Matterson all score tried while Mitchell Moses went 2 of 3 on conversion attempts. The Eels won the possession battle 54-46 percent and the meters run matchup 1,723 to 1,595. The quartet of Moses, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Matterson and Blake earned them all Team of the Week honors.

Prop Kane Evans is unavailable after being suspended for one game for dangerous contact in the win over Penrith. Oregon Kaufusi replaces Evans on the Parramatta bench. Eels centre Michael Jennings requires one try for 150 tries in the top grade.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

I know Parramatta is undefeated through five games and has the best statistical defense in the league with just 40 points allowed this season, but Sydney is playing at home and they’ve looked like the best team in the league the last three weeks in out-scoring their opponents by the combined score of 129-18 and 101-6 in the last two weeks. The Roosters are playing at home and getting some incredible efforts from their best players. With the Roosters playing at home and looking to make a statement should they meet the Eels later on, I like Sydney for the narrow, hard-fought home win.

Pick: Roosters 16 Eels 14

Telstra Premiership 2020 Round 6 Matches

Previous Betting News

The Gold Coast Titans and St. George Illawarra Dragons will both be going all-out to get their second wins of the season when they square off on Saturday in their round 6 showdown. While both clubs are sitting on one victory, one of these teams was successful last weekend and will be looking to carry that positive outcome over into this affair. Now, let’s find out which team is offering the best value against their NRL betting odds in this matchup.

NRL Dragons Vs Titans Round 6

Why Bet On The Titans

Gold Coast is sitting in last place in the 16-team NRL standings with two points. The Titans have gone 1-1 at home and 0-3 on the road this season while scoring 58 points and allowing a league-high 161 points defensively to sit at a league-worst -103 in scoring differential. Gold Coast comes into this affair off a humbling 32-12 loss against the Rabbitohs on Saturday. Phillip Sami and Bryce Carter scored tries while Ashley Taylor went 2 for 2 on conversions.

However, it was not nearly enough as Gold Coast gave up five tries, five conversions and a penalty goal in the loss. The loss comes one week after Gold Coast picked up their only win of the season by beating the Wests Tigers 28-23. Corey Thompson starts at fullback with Phillip Sami moving to the wing, Brian Kelly to center. Dale Copley is out with an injured ankle while Tyrone Roberts (ankle) has again been named on the reserves.

Why Bet On The Dragons

St. George is sitting in 14th place in the NRL standings with two points. The Dragons have gone 1-2 at home and 0-2 on the road while scoring 74 points and allowing 112 points defensively (-38). St. George comes into this matchup off a 30-16 win over Cronulla on Sunday that saw Mikaele Ravalawa score a pair of tries while Matthew Dufty, Ben Hunt and Cameron McInnes added solo scoring tries. Zac Lomax went 5 for 5 on conversions as the Dragons never looked back after going into the half up 18-10. James Graham has been named in the starting side but he swapped with Trent Merrin on the bench prior to kick-off last week.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

Gold Coast looked decent on offense last week, but they clearly can’t stop anyone this season as they give up an average of 32.2 points per game. With that said, and St, George looking competent for the first time this season in last week’s win over the Sharks, I like the road team to get it done in this one. The Dragons have won four straight over the Titans while putting 40 points or more on the board in three of those contests while topping the 50-point plateau once. This one will be relatively close until St. George pulls away in the second half.

Pick: Dragons 32 Titans 24

Previous Betting News

The Canterbury Bulldogs and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks will both be going all-out for the victory when they square off in their Round 6 matchup on Sunday, June 21. With both, one-win teams completely desperate following their most recent losses, let’s find out which team is the lesser of two evils in this meeting of NRL long shot title hopefuls so you can make your bets against their NRL odds.

NRL Bulldogs Vs Sharks Round 6

Why Bet On The Sharks

Cronulla is sitting in 13th place in the 16-team NRL standings with a paltry two points.  The Sharks have gone 0-2 at home and 1-2 on the road this season while scoring 86 points and allowing 108 points defensively (-22). Cronulla comes into this contest off a humbling 30-16 loss against the Dragons on Sunday. Mawene Hiroti, Sione Kato and Wade Graham  all scored tries while Shaun Johnson went 2 of 3 on conversions. The bad news is that Cronulla gave up five tries and five conversions in the loss. The loss comes one week after the Sharks got their first win of the season by beating the Cowboys 26-16 in Round 4.

Fullback Matt Moylan has been named in the reserves after being considered a “50-50” chance to play last week with hamstring tightness. Needing to top up their backline stocks, Cronulla signed Bryson Goodwin and Nene Macdonald this week. Jack Williams is back on the starting side at lock with Toby Rudolf will come off the interchange. Siosifa Talakai and Royce Hunt replace Connor Tracey and Scott Sorensen on the bench.

Why Bet On The Bulldogs

Canterbury is sitting in 15th place in the NRL standings with two points. The Bulldogs have gone 1-2 at home and 0-2 on the road this season while scoring a league-low 52 points and allowing 108 points defensively (-56). Canterbury got past the Dragons 22-2 in Round 4 two weeks ago, but their joy was short-lived as they suffered an embarrassing 42-6 smackdown against the defending champion Roosters on Monday. Kieran Foran scored a try in the second half and Nick Meaney converted, but that was all Canterbury could muster as they gave up seven tries and seven conversions in the loss.

Aiden Tolman is out of the lineup as he deals with a quarantine period after a negative COVID-19 test. Reimis Smith replaces Nick Meaney in the backline, with Jake Averillo moving to the wing. Renouf To’omaga starts at prop, Sauaso Sue goes to the bench and Kerrod Holland replaces Morgan Harper on the interchange.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

The Sharks had won five straight against the Bulldogs, but Canterbury recorded a narrow 14-12 home win last season to snap that skid. No matter…I’m expecting Cronulla to start another by getting the home win in this Round 6 meeting. Canterbury has been almost completely inept offensively and they’ve been limited to an identical six points in two of their last three losses. This one won’t be pretty, but the Sharks will pull out the narrow win!

Pick: Sharks 26 Bulldogs 18
