The standout match in the NRL this weekend will be a rematch of the 2023 Grand Final, which was won 26-24 by the Panthers in Sydney. However, both teams come into this third round of matches looking for better performances after winning just once across their opening two rounds. The Panthers bounced back from defeat on the opening day in their previous match after securing a stunning 26-18 win over the Eels.

Meanwhile, the Broncos also recovered from defeat on the opening day with a dominant home display against the Rabbitohs to register a 28-18 success. However, both the Panthers and Broncos are currently sitting outside of the playoff positions. However, a win for either could put them back within striking distance of the top of the standings this week. The Panthers have an excellent home record against the Broncos, and that could be the angle worth siding with when assessing the most likely outcome on Thursday.

Warriors vs Canberra Raiders

NRL Odds: Warriors -256 vs Raiders +201

It has been a contrasting start to the new season for the Warriors and Raiders, with the former sitting closer toward the bottom of the standings than the playoff places after losing each of their opening two matches this season. The New Zealand based side have scored just 38 points in their two matches, and they have allowed 46.

It has been a solid start to the new season for the Raiders, as they currently sit at the top of the NRL standings. They have been dominant across the early weeks of the season, registering 60 points across their two matches this term. This looks a bigger test on paper, but it remains challenging to overlook their chances of landing a third straight victory.

Parramatta Eels vs Manly Warringah Sea Eagles

NRL Odds: Eels -123 vs Sea Eagles +100

Two sides that have made reliable starts to the new NRL season will lock horns this weekend. The Eels and Sea Eagles both currently sit in the playoff spots after two rounds of matches, and a victory for either this weekend could see them end the round at the top of the standings. The Eels will still have attacking worries to address, as they are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the competition at this stage.

Scoring points hasn’t been an issue for the Sea Eagles, as they have registered 57 to this point, which is the third best in the NRL. But, they have a defensive record that suggests that the Eels could get some joy against their rivals. A high-scoring affair is likely between these two sides, but the preference remains for the visiting Sea Eagles to maintain their perfect start to the season.
