NRL Betting Tips Round 24: Super Saturday Footy

  • Author: Mick Gannon

Robbo's Roosters prepared for Benny's Bucking Broncos

Raiders  v Rabbitohs

NRL Odds: Canberra Raiders $2.45 (+4.5) / South Sydney Rabbitohs $1.56 (-4.5)

The Raiders will be looking to finish their season on a high as they face off against the Bunnies in the nation's capital this Saturday afternoon.

Off the back of a comprehensive home victory against the Roosters, Ricky Stuart's chargers will be fired up to take their second big scalp two weeks running.

Ranked first in points scored and second in line-breaks, the Raiders are the best-attacking side in the NRL and will look to their explosive play to get them over the line in this one.

Not to be outdone, the Bunnies possess plenty of spark, ranked first in line-breaks and second in points scored. After two straight losses, you can bet they will be looking to re-focus and bounce back to their best against Canberra this weekend.

Souths' effort against the Broncos at Suncorp last week was lacklustre to say the least, but the return of Alex Johnston and captain Greg Inglis should improve them significantly.

Both of these teams love to attack, and although the Raiders are capable of another upset, with a top-two position on the line, you'd expect the Bunnies to be throwing everything at them.

NRL Player Out J Tapine (Raiders), T Fuimaono (Rabbitohs), R Kennar (Rabbitohs), M Hiroti (Rabbitohs)

NRL Weather Fine and 11 degrees.

NRL Stats Key NRL stats

  • Average points scored: Raiders 23.8 / Rabbitohs 23.6
  • Average points conceded: Raiders 23.1 / Rabbitohs 18.3
  • The Raiders have won three of their last five encounters with the Rabbitohs

NRL Betting TipKey NRL Betting Stats

  • The Raiders are 4 from 5 at the line coming off a win, playing at home - Raiders +4.5 @$1.90 
  • Jordan Rapana (3) leads the Raiders in first try scorers this season: Jordan Rapana  first try @ $11 
  • Clashes at GIO Stadium have averaged 40.6 total match points: 'Under' match line of 44.5 points @ $1.90

NRL Betting Tip NRL Betting Tip: Raiders to win by a margin of 1-12 @$3.75

Reasoning: The Raiders impressed last week and will be looking to finish the season on a high. 

Souths are deserved favourites given their position on the ladder, however, with key players returning from injury, there are no guarantees they'll click straight away.

Titans v Storm

NRL Odds: Gold Coast Titans $2.75 (+5.5) / Melbourne Storm $1.45 (-5.5)

The Titans produced an inspiring second-half comeback last week, rallying from 16 points down to stun the Sea Eagles in a 42-34 victory.

The Gold Coast's defence resembled a turnstile, relying on their attack to give them the win. If they think a repeat of that performance will give them a sniff against a team like the Storm, they’re in for a rude shock.

Melbourne, ranked second in points conceded and missed tackles this season, won't afford them any favours here.

The Storm returned to form last week after their previous two losses, with a 20-4 win over the Eels, reclaiming their top spot on the ladder.

Although not their best display of the season, they got through the match despite a Cameron Munster sin-binning and a heavy second-half injury toll that included captain Cam Smith.

Smith has been named to play this week, in what will be a press for the minor premiership, and one-step closer to that much-coveted home final.

NRL Player Out B Cartwright (Titans), S Vunivalu (Storm), W Chambers (Storm), N Asofa-Solomona (Storm), B Smith (Storm)

NRL Betting TipKey NRL Betting Stats

  • 11 of Melbourne's 15 wins have been by a margin of 13+: Storm 13+ @ $2.90 
  • Philip Sami (3) leads both teams in first try scorers this season: Philip Sami first try scorer @ $12
  • Clashes at Cbus Stadium have averaged 39.6 total match points: 'Under' match line of 39.5 points @ $1.90

NRL Betting Tip NRL Betting Tip: Storm to cover the line of -5.5 @$1.90 NRL Betting Tip

Reasoning: Melbourne are playing for a home final here, and you'd expect them to be firing on all cylinders. 

They have lost some key personal in Chambers and Vunivalu which has lead the bookies to reduce the line to a generous -5.5.

Look for Smith to dominate the Titans from dummy-half as the Storm pours on the points.

Roosters v Broncos

NRL Odds: Sydney Roosters $1.48 (-5.5) / Brisbane Broncos $2.65 (+5.5)

Arguably the match of the round, this game looks to be an absolute blockbuster.

Both teams have something to lose in defeat. The Chooks will fall out of the top-two and could well lose a home finals birth, while a loss for the Broncos will see them fighting to make the finals when they face the Sea Eagles in round 25.

Last week, the Chooks failed to break a long losing streak in the nation's capital, going down to a determined Raiders outfit, who strung together a rare 80-minute performance.

Without Luke Keary, the Roosters have only looked fair in  attack, and his return for this clash is a huge boost for their premiership aspirations.

Brisbane impressed at Suncorp last week, taking down the ladder-leading Bunnies 38-18. Souths, without key players on the field, offered little resilience to the bucking Broncos, who managed to put a week in the headlines behind them.

The Chooks have built their 2018 season on defence, ranking first in missed tackles, points conceded, and line-breaks conceded. While the Broncos are ranked sixth for points scored and line breaks this season, they'll need to improve on that this week to compete with the Roosters.

The Broncos young halves combination has struggled for consistency all season and this week will be by far their toughest assignment to date.

NRL Betting TipKey NRL Betting Stats

  • The Roosters have covered the line at 59.1% this season: Roosters -5.5 @ $1.90 
  • Latrell Mitchell (6) leads both teams in first-try scorers this season: Latrell Mitchell  first try scorer @ $11.00
  • Clashes at Allianz Stadium have averaged 40.6 total match points: 'Over' match line of 38.5 points @ $1.90

NRL Betting TipNRL Betting Tip: Roosters to win by a margin of 1-12 @$3.00 NRL Betting Tip

Reasoning: The return of Luke Keary will be enough to see the Chooks back to their attacking best. Brisbane is coming off a strong performance last week and won't go away easily. Go with the Roosters in a nail-biter!

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.
