NRL 2025 Best Tips and Multi Bet of the Weekend | Round 11

We are about to enjoy another exciting serving of NRL footy fest as the competition returns for Round 11. For this week’s multi bet combo, we have chosen the Knights vs Eels game, a battle between two struggling sides. We also look at the league leaders Bulldogs’ home clash against the Roosters and the Dolphins’ attempt at a resurgence against the red-hot Warriors.

Find out how bets on these games with top Australian bookmakers PlayUp can combine for a sweet 12x return this weekend.

May 16th, 18:00 AEST, McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle

Two out-of-sorts sides, the Knights and Eels, collide at McDonald Jones Stadium on Friday evening in a clash both will see as a shot at turning their seasons around.

The Knights have now lost six of their last seven after an agonising collapse against the Titans, while the Eels' woes deepened with a seventh loss of the season to the Dolphins.

Both teams have been poor this season, but Newcastle enter the fray as slight favourites across betting apps.

Head coach Adam O'Brien will feel that his team has been unlucky on a number of occasions this season, and they are a good shot at home against a lacklustre Eels unit. So, we start our multi bet with the Knights covering a -1.5 handicap.

May 16th, 20:00 AEST, Accor Stadium, Sydney

Ladder leaders Canterbury return to Accor Stadium on Saturday night, eyeing a 9-1 record at the expense of the Roosters.

The Bulldogs have been in exceptional shape all year, losing only one game. By comparison, the Roosters have had a rollercoaster campaign, sitting mid-table with a 4-5 mark.

They've displayed flashes of their best—most especially a 46-18 Anzac Day thrashing of the Dragons—but those highs have been countered by big losses, including a 50-14 battering from the Broncos in Round 1.

Outscoring their opponents 52-0, the Bulldogs have kept sides scoreless in both of their most recent Accor Stadium games, so tipping them for another easy win is a safe move for the second leg of our NRL multi.

May 17th, 15:00 AEST, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Kicking off Round 11’s Super Saturday, the Dolphins take on the Warriors at Suncorp Stadium. Both teams are fresh from hard-fought wins—20-16 for the Dolphins over the Eels and 15-14 for the Warriors over the Dragons.

The Warriors return to Suncorp Stadium just a fortnight after grinding out a tense Magic Round win over the Cowboys. The Dolphins, on the other hand, snapped a three-match losing slump by beating the Eels.

With six tries in as many games, Luke Metcalf is in red-hot form and we fancy his chances of adding to that tally against the Dolphins.NRL betting sites are offering short odds for him to score against Dolphins, making this bet a good mix of risk and return to round out our multi.
