NRL Round 23 betting tips, multi picks & predictions

The race to the NRL 2025 finals is reaching boiling point, with Round 23 featuring crucial clashes that will shape the top-eight picture.

Here’s our game-by-game NRL betting preview with value picks for every matchup.

Melbourne Storm vs Brisbane Broncos

Thursday, August 7 – 7:50pm AEST – AAMI Park

AAMI Park remains a fortress for the Melbourne Storm, but they’ve lacked fluency without Jahrome Hughes. Cameron Munster’s return sparks their attack, yet Brisbane’s resurgence — led by Payne Haas and Reece Walsh — makes this a genuine upset spot. The Broncos’ edge speed and attacking punch have been troubling elite defences, so take the value about the outsiders.

Newcastle Knights vs Penrith Panthers

Friday, August 8 – 6pm AEST – McDonald Jones Stadium

The Penrith Panthers are peaking at the right time, averaging 27 points over their last five games. Even without Isaah Yeo, Nathan Cleary’s control and Dylan Edwards’ consistency give them a decisive edge against a Knights side leaking points. Newcastle’s unsettled halves combination remains a liability.

Canberra Raiders vs Manly Sea Eagles

Friday, August 8 – 8pm AEST – GIO Stadium

Canberra’s forward pack should boss the middle third, with Joseph Tapine and Josh Papalii set to roll through Manly’s tiring engine room. The Sea Eagles welcome Tom Trbojevic back to fullback but remain inconsistent in attack. Expect a grind that favours the Raiders.

St George Illawarra Dragons vs Cronulla Sharks

Saturday, August 9 – 3pm AEST – Jubilee Stadium

Cronulla forwards Addin Fonua-Blake and Cameron McInnes dominated last week and look primed to repeat against the Dragons’ brittle middle. St George Illawarra thrive on home passion but struggle to back up big wins. Nicho Hynes’ kicking game should control proceedings as the Sharks win by a comfortable amount.

Dolphins vs Sydney Roosters

Saturday, August 9 – 5:30pm AEST – Suncorp Stadium

Herbie Farnworth’s injury robs the Dolphins of spark, while the Roosters ride the momentum of back-to-back gritty wins. James Tedesco’s leadership and Sam Walker’s playmaking should be enough to edge it in a tight contest, especially with the Roosters’ defence stiffening at the right time.

Canterbury Bulldogs vs New Zealand Warriors

Saturday, August 9 – 7:35pm AEST – Accor Stadium

Canterbury’s power game, spearheaded by Viliame Kikau, should trouble the Warriors’ edges. New Zealand’s pack lacks punch without Leka Halasima, and their away form is shaky. Expect the Bulldogs’ left-edge attack to find joy as they secure a statement win.

Gold Coast Titans vs South Sydney Rabbitohs

Sunday, August 10 – 2pm AEST – Cbus Super Stadium

Jayden Campbell’s form surge has transformed the Titans’ attack, while Souths limp into this clash with injuries and reshuffles across their spine. Gold Coast’s edge speed should carve up the Rabbitohs’ depleted defence in front of a home crowd.

Parramatta Eels vs North Queensland Cowboys

Sunday, August 10 – 4:05pm AEST – CommBank Stadium

The Eels continue to compete without reward, but Mitchell Moses’ return has lifted their attack. The Cowboys have the talent but remain wildly inconsistent on the road. Expect North Queensland’s forwards to match Parramatta’s pack and grind out a crucial road win.
