Newcastle Knights vs Parramatta Eels

Betting sites are backing the Knights to get Round 11 off to a strong start when they take on the Eels at home this Friday night.

Adam O’Brien’s side, however, threw away a 14-point lead against the Titans in their previous outing to suffer a narrow defeat. Meanwhile, Parramatta remain rooted to the bottom of the ladder after suffering their seventh defeat of the season against the Dolphins.

Although the Eels have won four of their last five encounters with the Knights, the home side are more than likely to come out on top this time and pile further pressure on the visitors.

Canterbury Bulldogs vs Sydney Roosters

The Bulldogs remain the team to beat in the 2025 NRL after seeing off an in-form Canberra Raiders unit, just as we predicted last week. Now they must keep the momentum against a Sydney Roosters side that is fresh off a bye.

Written off at halftime after trailing 20–0 and being thoroughly outplayed, the Bulldogs roared back with a brilliant second-half performance against the Raiders that reinforced their credentials for a first title in 21 years.

The Roosters have won 10 of their last 12 clashes with the Bulldogs, though their only two losses in that run came in their last two visits to Bulldogs territory. We’re picking they’ll taste a third this weekend.

Dolphins vs New Zealand Warriors

The Dolphins look to build momentum with back-to-back victories when they welcome the red-hot Warriors to Suncorp Stadium on Saturday. Kristian Woolf’s men snapped their losing run with a narrow four-point win over cellar-dwellers Parramatta, but the performance left plenty to be desired.

New Zealand, on the other hand, climbed into the top two with their fourth straight win. They pulled off a nail-biting one-point escape over the Dragons, earned with their only second-half point of the game.

All four previous meetings between these teams have gone the way of the hosts. But given the Warriors’ current form, that streak could be under serious threat this weekend.

North Queensland Cowboys vs Manly Sea Eagles

The Sea Eagles and Cowboys will renew hostilities in a Queensland derby this Saturday. Manly thrashed the Cowboys 42–12 in Round 1, but the Sea Eagles now find themselves chasing their rivals on the NRL ladder heading into this clash.

It’s no surprise the Cowboys are favourites across betting apps—five wins from their last six says it all, with their only slip-up coming in the Magic Round at Suncorp. The Sea Eagles, on the contrary, have won only once in their last five matches.

This should be a close contest between the two Queensland outfits, but we expect the Cowboys to have the last laugh in this one.

Cronulla Sharks vs Melbourne Storm

Saturday night footy brings a blockbuster showdown at Shark Park, with third-placed Storm visiting the fifth-placed Sharks.

This has been an even battle in recent years with both sides claiming two wins from their last four meetings. The form guide also points to a cracking contest: the Sharks have won four of their last five, while Storm have picked up three in that span.

The Storm cruised to a dominant 64–0 win over the Tigers in their last outing. Yes, the same Tigers side that handed the Sharks their only defeat in the past five games. With that kind of firepower, Melbourne look well-equipped to spoil the party at Shark Park.

Brisbane Broncos vs St George Illawarra Dragons

The Broncos have lost Ben Hunt to a hamstring injury for more than a month—a huge setback ahead of their clash with the Dragons, who have shown flashes of brilliance but struggled to turn performances into points.

St George Illawarra were denied by a single point against the Warriors last weekend, with Luke Metcalf’s field goal the difference between the two sides. They will hope for better luck against the Broncos who have won only once in their last five outings.

The last time the Dragons visited Brisbane, they came away with a narrow victory. With the Broncos struggling for form, Shane Flanagan’s side will fancy their chances of repeating that result.

Canberra Raiders vs Gold Coast Titans

The Titans will be looking to make amends for their Round 7 collapse when they head to Canberra to face the Raiders this weekend.

After surging to a 16–0 lead, the Titans saw their advantage slip as Canberra crossed just before half-time. The visitors then dominated the second half to claim a 30–20 win—a crushing defeat that became part of the Gold Coast’s six-game losing streak.

The Titans, currently 15th, now head into this game on the back of a crucial away win against Newcastle,. The Raiders, meanwhile, are fourth and will be eager to bounce back from their defeat against the Bulldogs.

Wests Tigers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs

The Tigers and Rabbitohs head into Round 11 on very different trajectories following last week’s matches.

Benji Marshall’s men are reeling from a crushing 64–0 defeat at the hands of the Storm, unable to find answers against a ruthless display from Ryan Papenhuyzen—once a Tigers star himself.

The Rabbitohs, meanwhile, overturned a 14-point deficit against the Broncos to pick up their fifth win of the season.

Wests have managed just two wins from their last 15 outings at Campbelltown Stadium. Combine that with eight losses in their last 10 against the Rabbitohs, and it’s hard to see the tide turning.
