NRL Betting Tips Round 22 Preview Key stats for Super Saturday

D-day for Gus Gould's Panthers

Titans v Panthers 

NRL Odds: Gold Coast Titans $2.85 (+7.5.) / Penrith Panthers $1.42 (-7.5)

After thrashing the Warriors two weeks ago, the Titans continued their topsy-turvy season with an away loss to the Eels last week.

Gold Coast has showed little in the way of grit and determination of late, losing four of their past five games. 

With a poor home record - four wins from nine games this season - Titans fans haven't had much to cheer about. 

Meanwhile, what a huge week it has been at the foot of the mountains. Coach Anthony Griffin was shown the door in controversial style, with Cameron Ciraldo taking the reins as interim coach. 

How this situation effects the playing group is anyone's guess and it is the great unknown heading into this game. 

There is no doubt General Manager Phil Gould will have plenty to say to his players in the lead-up, to ensure their eyes stay fixed on the prize.

Penrith have won their last four clashes against the Titans and with a top-four spot on the line, expect them to lift and make it five in a row.

NRL Stats Key NRL stats

  • Average points scored: Titans 19.0 / Panthers 22.5
  • Average points conceded: Titans 24.6 / Panthers 18.7
  • The Panthers have won four of the past five against the Titans

NRL Betting TipKey NRL Betting Stats

  • 8 of the Panthers 13 wins have been by a margin of 1-12: Panthers 1-12 @$3.10 
  • Phillip Sami (3) leads both teams in first try scorers this season: Phillip Sami first try scorer @ $15
  • Clashes at Cbus Super Stadium have averaged 40.6 total match points: 'Under' match line of 46.5 points @ $1.90

NRL Betting Tip NRL Betting Tip: Panthers to win by a margin of 1-12@$3.10 

Reasoning: The Panthers are clearly the better of the two teams, which is reflected on the competition ladder. Granted the Anthony Griffin saga will take its toll, but the Panthers have too much to play for and will come out on top.

Sea Eagles v Bulldogs

NRL Odds: Manly Sea Eagles $1.62 (-3.5) / Canterbury Bulldogs $2.30 (+3.5)

The Sea Eagles showed plenty of fight last week, overcoming the sharks in a 33-32 golden point thriller. 

A revitalised Manly side has been scoring points with ease in recent weeks. With DCE and the Trbojevic brothers firing on all cylinders, they have averaged a much-improved 27 points in their last three games. 

Whilst this is a big step-up from their season average, Manly have offered little in the way of defence, conceding 38.6 points per game over their past three matches. 

Meanhwhile, Canterbury comes off a commanding performance against the Broncos that could easily have passed them off as a top-four contender. On their way to avoiding the dreaded wooden spoon, the Dogs dismantled a Broncos line-up who had already been stamped as finals contenders. 

The inclusion of halfback Jeremy Marshall-King and prop David Klemmer for the Bulldogs, will boost a team whose confidence is on the rise. 

The Doggies could find themselves in 12th positon on the ladder with a win this week, their third on the trot. Not bad for a team who two weeks ago looked destined for the wooden spoon.

  • Canterbury have won four of the past five games against Manly 

NRL Betting TipKey NRL Betting Stats

  • The Bulldogs have covered the line at 55% this season: Bulldogs +3.5@$1.90 
  • Kerrod Holland (3) leads both teams in first try scorers this season: Kerrod Holland first try scorer @ $14
  • Clashes at Lottoland Oval have averaged 47.4 total match points: 'Over' match line of 43.5 points @ $1.90

NRL Betting Tip NRL Betting Tip: Bulldogs 13+ @$5.50 

Reasoning: Manly have been giving up points for fun in recent weeks and that is likely to continue against an in-form Dogs side. A repeat of last week's performance by the Dogs should see them win comfortably.

Eels  v Dragons

NRL Odds: Parramatta Eels $2.75 (+6.5) / St George Illawarra Dragons $1.45 (-6.5)

Last week, Parra showed their recent form was no fluke with a convincing 28-12 win at home over the Titans. 

They will be looking to avoid the wooden spoon with a win this week and the signs are good for fans.

The Eels have tasted victory in two of their past three games and the total combined margin for their past three losses is only 10-points. 

When these two teams met back in round 16, the Dragons took the two points in a narrow 20-18 win. 

Since that victory though, the Dragons look to be on a downward spiral, having won only one of their past five games.

With a star studded line-up, it's fair to expect more from this Dragons side, who have struggled in the back half of this season. 

Gareth Widdop must step up to the mark, along with half Ben Hunt, and improve their poor decision making when confronted with try scoring opportunities. 

Given the recent form of both sides, this is set to be a very close encounter.

  • The Eels have covered the line in their last seven games against the Dragons: Eels +6.5@$1.90 
  • Euan Aitken (3) leads both teams in first-try scorers this season: Euan Aitken first try scorer @ $11
  • Clashes at ANZ Stadium have averaged 35.6 total match points: 'Under' match line of 40.5 points @ $1.90

NRL Betting TipNRL Betting Tip: Eels at the line of +6.5 @$1.90  NRL Betting Tip

Reasoning: Based on their last five games, the Dragons are not a sound betting proposition. The Eels have impressed in recent weeks and the +6.5 start looks very generous.

Standard Tipping Rules (Betting Prices Game)
  • Each winning tip score equals the price of the team at the time the tip is submitted as appearing on your tipping screen.
  • If no prices are available, the score for a winning tip will equal the starting price of the winning team at Sportsbetting.com.au
  • For NRL tipping - If the match is a draw at full time, tip score equals the price of the team awarded for selecting the winner of the golden point play off. If it is still a draw after golden point no points are awarded for the game.
  • For AFL, Super Rugby and Mitre 10 Rugby competitions - No points are awarded for drawn games.
  • For A-League/EPL you must select the 'Draw' to receive the price when the match results in a draw. If you select a team in a drawn match you will receive no points for the match.
  • A score margin is required to be entered for 1 game within the round.
Margin Games
  • For one match in each round you will be required to enter a margin. The margin represents the amount that you predict your selected team will win by. Your margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the entire competition if the tipping scores are equal. The lower your margin score the better.
  • Calculating margins

    If the team you tip wins the match, your margin score is the difference between the actual margin in the Full Time Score that the team you tipped won by, and the margin your entered. For example if you tipped Australia

    Full time score Australia 54 vs Italy 6
    Margin entered 36
    Actual Margin 48
    Margin Score 48 - 36 = 12

    If the team you tipped loses the match, your margin score is the actual margin plus the margin entered. For example if you tipped Italy:

    Full time score Australia 54 vs Italy 6
    Margin entered 6
    Actual Margin 48
    Margin Score 48 + 6 = 54

  • If a tipper does not submit a tip for a game they are awarded the away team.
  • If a tipper does not submit any tips for a round then they do not receive points for the first winning tip in that round.
  • Tips can be entered up to advertised start time for the game.
  • After the advertised start time has passed tips for the game cannot be entered.
  • Tips cannot be changed after they are submitted.
  • For competitions where tippers enter a margin, the margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the overall competition if the tip scores are equal. For example if two tippers share 1st place on 100 points, the tipper with the lowest margin score will be the winner.
  • If the margin feature is not turned on and tippers have equal tipping scores, or if tippers have equal tipping scores and equal margins, the winner will be awarded using a count back system where the tipper who led most recently will be awarded the prize.
  • If tippers cannot be split using these methods then the prize will be shared.
Standard Tipping Rules (Points Game)
  • Picks are entered for each game in a round. 1 point is awarded for picking the winner of the match.
  • A bonus 5 points are awarded for picking a perfect round.
  • For NRL picking - If the match is a draw at full time, 1 point is awarded for selecting the winner of the golden point play off. If it is still a draw after golden point no points are awarded for the game.
  • For AFL, Super Rugby and Mitre 10 Rugby competitions - If the match result is a draw, no points are awarded for picks in the match.
  • For A-League/EPL you must select the 'Draw' to receive 1 point when the match results in a draw. If you select a team in a drawn match you will receive no points for the match.
  • A margin score is required to be entered for one match in each round. The margin represents the amount that you predict your selected team will win by. Your margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the entire contest if the scores are equal. The lower your margin score the better the entrant is deemed to have performed.
Score Margin Information
  • For one match in each round you will be required to enter a score margin. The margin represents the amount that you predict your selected team will win by. Your margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the entire competition if the picking scores are equal. The lower your margin score the better.

  • Calculating margins

    If the team you pick wins the match, your margin score is the difference between the actual margin in the Full Time Score that the team you picked won by, and the margin you entered. For example, if you picked New Zealand in the following scenario:

    Full time score New Zealand 54 vs Australia 6
    Margin entered 36
    Actual Margin 48
    Margin Score 48 - 36 = 12

    If the team you picked loses the match, your margin score is the actual margin plus the margin entered. For example, if you picked Australia for the same scenario:

    Full time score New Zealand 54 vs Australia 6
    Margin entered 6
    Actual Margin 48
    Margin Score 48 + 6 = 54
  • If a entrant does not submit a pick for a game, they are assigned the away team as their pick for that game.
  • If a entrant does not submit any picks for a round, as a penalty, they do not receive points for their first winning pick in that round. For example, if 8 away teams win in the round that the entrant missed, then 7 points will be awarded.
  • Picks can be entered up to advertised start time for the game.
  • After the advertised start time has passed picks for the game cannot be entered or changed.
  • Picks can be changed up to the advertised start time of the game.
  • Points awarded to entrants will be aggregated at the completion of each round during the contest, and entrants will be ranked in accordance with the points they scored and their margin score for the round.

  • For competitions where entrants enter a margin, the margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the overall competition if the pick scores are equal. For example if two entrants share 1st place on 100 points, the entrant with the lowest margin score will be the winner.
  • If there is tip score and margin score tie-break, the winner of the round or the overall competition will be the entrant who was first to enter their picks.
  • If entrants cannot be split using these methods then the prize will be shared.
