Analysis
Manly welcome back Haumole Olakau'atu from rest and have Tolu Koula named pending HIA clearance from Origin 1. The Trbojevic brothers anchor a heavy pack with Brooks/Fogarty steering. Souths get David Fifita (hamstring, first game since R6), Brandon Smith (calf), Cameron Murray and Campbell Graham all back — but Latrell remains out with a back injury and the spine takes time to gel. Manly at home with their preferred 17 cover the line.
Odds & Form
Manly $1.57, Souths $2.40. Handicap: Manly −4.5 $1.94, Souths +4.5 $1.86. Souths have plenty of injury returns but no Latrell — Manly's full pack at 4 Pines is the side.
Suggested Bets
Bet 1 - Manly -4.5 $1.94Olakau'atu back from rest, Koula named, Trbojevic pack at home · Souths get Fifita/Smith/Murray back but still no Latrell · Sportsbet

Analysis
Storm at AAMI with full firepower — Hughes, Munster, Grant and Faalogo all named. Newcastle are working around Sandon Smith (calf) which sees Fletcher Sharpe shift to five-eighth and Fletcher Hunt come off the bench into the centres. Dylan Brown at halfback with an inexperienced Sharpe is a tall ask. Storm forwards roll yardage and Munster pulls the strings — -4.5 is conservative.
Odds & Form
Storm $1.61, Knights $2.32. Handicap: Storm −4.5 $1.93, Knights +4.5 $1.87. Storm full-strength at home vs a Knights spine missing Sandon Smith — line is conservative.
Suggested Bets
Bet 1 - Storm -4.5 $1.93Full Hughes/Munster/Grant/Faalogo spine · Knights spine disrupted with Sandon Smith out · Sportsbet

Analysis
Roosters favoured despite the road trip at 2.5 points. Trent Robinson's spine of Tedesco, Cherry-Evans, Walker and Robson is settled and Canberra cover for Seb Kris (concussion) with Daine Laurie shifting from lock to centre. Jayden Brailey returns from concussion to slot in at lock and Joe Roddy (hand) joins the bench. Roosters experience at halfback — DCE vs Sanders — tilts this on the road.
Odds & Form
Raiders $2.20, Roosters $1.67. Handicap: Raiders +2.5 $1.90, Roosters −2.5 $1.90. Quality Roosters spine on the road cover the short line.

Analysis
A re-energised Dolphins outfit get a full hand back: Tabuai-Fidow (FB), Farnworth (C), Nikorima (5/8), Plath (H) and Cobbo (W) all return from injury or Origin duty. Cowboys welcome back skipper Reuben Cotter from rest with Soni Luke (knee) good to go — but Tom Mikaele plays through a knee concern. The Phins are essentially full-strength; the Cowboys aren't quite. -3.5 covers on the road.
Odds & Form
Cowboys $2.39, Dolphins $1.58. Handicap: Cowboys +3.5 $1.95, Dolphins −3.5 $1.86. Dolphins essentially full-strength back vs Cowboys carrying a Mikaele knee concern.

Analysis
Saturday night at Suncorp and Brisbane are heavy favourites at $1.43. The line of −8.5 is steep with the Titans getting Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Jojo Fifita back from Maroons duty. Brisbane lose Pat Carrigan (ankle) — significant — with Willison to lock and Duffy promoted to 5/8 (Mam to bench). Banker of the round on H2H. Walsh tryscorer at the Stadium where he loves backing himself.
Odds & Form
Broncos $1.43, Titans $2.81. Handicap: Broncos −8.5 $1.97, Titans +8.5 $1.84. Take the H2H banker — the −8.5 line is steep with Tino + Fifita back for GC.

Analysis
Sunday afternoon at CommBank and Penrith roll out a near-full-strength outfit with Cleary, Yeo and To'o all back from rest. The Tigers' spine of Luai, Madden, Bula and Koroisau has been competitive lately and Mavrik Geyer comes in for Sione Fainu (concussion). Charlie Murray gets his first NRL game of 2026 for Twal (knee). +12.5 is generous — Tigers stay in the game.
Odds & Form
Tigers $4.25, Panthers $1.23. Handicap: Tigers +12.5 $1.90, Panthers −12.5 $1.90. Generous handicap on a Tigers spine that's been competitive lately.

Analysis
Sharks miss two of their most important players — Hynes (calf) and Brailey (arm). Niwhai Puru steps in at #7 with Jayden Berrell debuting at hooker in a key role. Dragons have Gutherson, Holmes, Suli, Flanagan and Cook — experienced and capable of staying in this. Jacob Liddle returns from hamstring. +11.5 is generous on the road.
Odds & Form
Sharks $1.29, Dragons $3.64. Handicap: Sharks −11.5 $1.82, Dragons +11.5 $1.99. Without Hynes' kicking game the 11.5 line is generous.
Suggested Bets

Analysis
Monday Night Football slot at Accor and Cameron Ciraldo names a settled 17 with only minor bench tweaks — O'Sullivan and Spinks added (Hopoi and Sua out). Tracey + Montoya near returns from injury. Parramatta rebuild — Volkman and Papalii pair in the halves with Tallyn Da Silva at hooker. Bulldogs spine (Galvin, Burton, Mann) plus Crichton has too much class.
Odds & Form
Bulldogs $1.64, Eels $2.27. Handicap: Bulldogs −3.5 $1.90, Eels +3.5 $1.90. Settled Bulldogs at home over a rebuilding Eels side covers the line.
Suggested Bets
Bet 1 - Bulldogs -3.5 $1.90Bulldogs settled 17 at Accor · Eels rebuilding spine · Sportsbet
