NRL Round 15 Tips: Best Bets and Predictions
State of Origin takes centre stage again in Round 15, leaving just five NRL matches on the schedule.
While several premiership contenders enjoy the week off, there are still plenty of betting opportunities available, particularly with a handful of underdogs looking capable of causing an upset.
Here are the best NRL Round 15 tips, predictions and betting plays.
Rabbitohs vs Broncos
Best Tip: Rabbitohs Head-to-Head
Both teams are struggling, but Brisbane look completely out of sync at the moment. South Sydney's record against the Broncos at Accor Stadium is strong and the Rabbitohs should benefit from home-ground advantage.
Best Try Scorer: Alex Johnston Anytime Try Scorer
Johnston remains one of the safest try scorer picks in the NRL and South Sydney continue favouring the left edge in attack.
Dolphins vs Roosters
Best Tip: Dolphins Head-to-Head
The Dolphins continue to impress and their depth has become one of the stories of the season. Even with Origin disruptions, they look more settled and cohesive than the Roosters.
Best Try Scorer: Jack Bostock Anytime Try Scorer
Bostock continues to finish strongly on the edge and gets a favourable matchup against a Roosters side missing several key defenders.
Warriors vs Sharks
Best Tip: Warriors Head-to-Head
The Warriors continue to find ways to win regardless of injuries or Origin absences. Their depth has been exceptional all season and they remain one of the competition's most complete teams.
Best Try Scorer: Dallin Watene-Zelezniak Anytime Try Scorer
DWZ continues to produce tries at an elite rate and has an outstanding record against Cronulla.
Eels vs Raiders
Best Tip: Raiders Head-to-Head
Canberra have been inconsistent but their best football remains well above Parramatta's. The Raiders' middle forwards should gain the upper hand and control field position.
Best Try Scorer: Joseph Tapine Anytime Try Scorer
Tapine milestone game makes him an appealing value play, while Parramatta continue leaking tries through the middle.
Tigers vs Titans
Best Tip: Tigers Head-to-Head
The Tigers were embarrassed by Penrith last week, but returning to Leichhardt Oval should bring out a much stronger performance.
This shapes as a must-win game for Benji Marshall's side.
Best Try Scorer: Taylan May Anytime Try Scorer
May has been one of the Tigers' most reliable attacking weapons and gets a favourable matchup against the Titans' edge defence.
