NRL Round 27 betting tips, multi picks & predictions

The final round of the 2025 NRL regular season is here, and the finals race is coming down to the wire.

With the Broncos, Roosters, Dolphins, and Sea Eagles all fighting for crucial ladder positions, Round 27 promises drama, upsets, and season-defining performances.

Here’s our full rugby league betting preview with expert tips and value picks for all eight games this weekend.

Brisbane Broncos v Melbourne Storm

Thursday, September 4 – 7:50pm AEST – Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

The Broncos need this win to lock in a top-four berth, and they’re boosted by the red-hot form of Reece Walsh and Payne Haas. The Melbourne Storm welcome back Jahrome Hughes, Xavier Coates, and Eliesa Katoa, but with second place secured, their intensity may dip. Brisbane’s desperation and home-crowd advantage give them the edge in what looms as a finals-style clash.

Manly Sea Eagles v New Zealand Warriors

Friday, September 5 – 6pm AEST – 4 Pines Park, Sydney

The Sea Eagles‘ faint finals hopes rest on a miracle, needing a huge win plus other results to go their way. Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans remain their strike weapons, but the Warriors‘ discipline and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck’s form could spoil the party. With Andrew Webster’s men fighting to finish strong, the value lies with the visitors in a tight encounter.

Sydney Roosters v South Sydney Rabbitohs

Friday, September 5 – 8:00pm AEST – Allianz Stadium, Sydney

It’s simple for the Roosters: win and they play finals. Sam Walker returns to spark an attack that piled on 40 points in Melbourne last week, while Mark Nawaqanitawase is finishing the season in blistering form. The Rabbitohs get Cameron Murray back but remain vulnerable defensively. With everything on the line, expect the Chooks to flex with a statement victory.

St George Illawarra Dragons v Penrith Panthers

Saturday, September 6 – 3:00pm AEST – WIN Stadium, Wollongong

The Dragons limp into the final round with little to play for, while Penrith reload after resting stars last week. Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo, and Dylan Edwards are all back as Ivan Cleary tunes his side for finals. Expect the Panthers’ class and structure to overwhelm the Dragons in a professional hit-out.

Gold Coast Titans v Wests Tigers

Saturday, September 6 – 5:30pm AEST – Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast

Des Hasler’s last game in charge of the Titans provides plenty of motivation. AJ Brimson’s switch to the centres and Keano Kini’s return at fullback add spark, while Tino Fa’asuamaleaui leads a pack looking to finish strong. The Tigers have improved in 2025, but this shapes as a farewell win for Hasler and a chance to avoid the spoon.

Canterbury Bulldogs v Cronulla Sharks

Saturday, September 6 – 7:35pm AEST – Accor Stadium, Sydney

The Bulldogs handled Penrith’s reserve side last week, but they now face a Cronulla outfit pushing for a top-four finish. Nicho Hynes remains the key for the Sharks, and Jesse Ramien’s return bolsters their attack. With Canterbury secure in third and unlikely to risk everything, Cronulla’s hunger should see them home.

Dolphins v Canberra Raiders

Sunday, September 7 – 2:00pm AEST – Kayo Stadium, Redcliffe

The Raiders have locked up the minor premiership and now rest a stack of stars, leaving a youthful side to take on a Dolphins outfit still clinging to finals hopes. Kristian Woolf’s men are at full strength and should relish the opportunity against Canberra’s second-string. Expect the Phins to win big.

Parramatta Eels v Newcastle Knights

Sunday, September 7 – 4:05pm AEST – CommBank Stadium, Sydney

The Eels‘ late-season surge continued with an upset in Auckland, and they’ll be eager to finish 2025 on a high. Dylan Brown returns to the halves for his final game before joining the Knights next year, and Mitchell Moses should steer Parramatta to a comfortable win. Newcastle’s struggles look set to continue in a one-sided finale.
