NRL 2025 Round 7 – Betting tips & Predictions

Many interesting storylines are unfolding as NRL 2025 enters its seventh round. Can the Panthers finally get their title defence back on track? Will the Dolphins beat the Storm for the first time in their history? We break down every Round 7 clash in the NRL this weekend, using the latest odds from betting sites to guide our NRL predictions.

Following a second straight defeat, this time courtesy of the Sharks, the spotlight on Daly Cherry-Evans has only grown brighter since his dramatic declaration last month that the Sea Eagles captain will exit Brookvale when the season wraps up.

Manly are in desperate need of a solid result now, but a resilient Dragons unit will be no walk in the park. While St George Illawarra have lost their last two away matches against the Sea Eagles, two wins in their last three NRL fixtures this year should make them confident ahead of this tie.

The Dragons seem to have the momentum to bag the win, so we are predicting an away victory in this one.

Two teams who have had great starts to their respective NRL campaigns will meet at Accor Stadium on Friday. The Bulldogs will look to continue their unbeaten run, while the Rabbitohs will be eager to return to winning ways after falling to the Cowboys.

The Bulldogs have been flawless so far and put an injury-ridden Knights team to the sword last match to make it five wins out of five in this campaign. Fresh off a bye and with Matt Burton back in the five-eighth role, the Bulldogs could be in their best shape of the season heading into this clash.

The Rabbitohs have posted four wins in their six outings this season under Wayne Bennett. Despite showing plenty of grit once again, they fell just short as the Cowboys edged them in a tightly fought contest.

This should be a tough match to call, but we will side with the red-hot Bulldogs against the resurgent Rabbitohs.

The Dolphins will look for their first-ever win against the Storm as they host Melbourne on Friday night.

Tom Gilbert and company have finally hit form after suffering four straight losses in their first four games. They have beaten the Panthers and Titans in their last two games, and will be looking to extend their winning run to three matches.

Meanwhile, the Storm destroyed the Warriors in their previous match and remain within two points of the top spot. While Jahrome Hughes may be unavailable for this fixture, it’s unlikely to disrupt the rhythm of last season’s runners-up.

We like the odds at NRL betting sites for the Storm to win big in this one.

The New Zealand Warriors saw their three-match winning streak come to an unceremonious end last week.

After being thrashed by the Storm, the assignment doesn’t get much easier for Andrew Webster’s men. They must see off a Broncos side at home that sit third in the standings with four wins out of six outings.

The Brisbane outfit have won three of their last five matches against the New Zealanders. But, they come to this tie right after losing to the Roosters at home. The Broncos might look like a new team this season, but let’s not forget they lost the last time they played at Go Media Stadium (spoiler alert: it didn’t go their way).

We expect the hosts to claim the bragging rights in this match.

The Roosters and Panthers meet at Allianz Stadium for a Saturday night blockbuster. Both teams have struggled to get their seasons on track, but it’s the reigning Premiers who seem in deeper trouble. After six rounds of action, the Panthers are second to bottom with only one win to their name.

The Roosters sit just two spots above their Saturday night visitors on the ladder, but their win over the Broncos should give them a timely boost in morale. Trent Robinson’s men have already beaten the Panthers this season too, in one of their all-time great NRL victories.

At this moment, it’s hard to back the Panthers in our NRL tips, so we recommend getting behind some juicy odds for a Roosters win.

After putting the Eels to the sword in a 50-12 blowout, the Raiders now head to Cbus Super Stadium to meet a Titans outfit trying to avoid three losses on the trot.

The Raiders are currently on a four-match winning streak against the Titans and their forwards will look to punish a Titans defence that has shipped 104 points in their last three matches. 

The return of Alofiana Khan-Pereira could give the hosts a much-needed boost, but the Titans' defensive issues don’t seem to be going away anytime soon. It’s hard to see any NRL predictions other than a Raiders win here.

Knights boss Adam O'Brien will be desperate to find a way to end his team’s scoring woes when the Sharks come to town.

The Knights have managed just 46 points across their first five games this season, their lowest tally to start a campaign in club history. What’s even more alarming is that they haven’t hit double figures in any of their last three matches.

The Sharks haven’t exactly been firing in attack either, scoring just 54 points in their last three outings. It’s better than the Knights, but still underwhelming, making the under market a tempting pick for this match.

The Eels travel to CommBank Stadium on Monday, hoping to avenge their Round 2 loss against the Tigers. History says that the Parramatta side have won 10 of their last 13 matches against the Tigers. However, the reality seems to be vastly different this time around.

The Eels have been the league’s worst side to date, and after another thumping last week, it’s tough to imagine them posing much of a threat to a Tigers team with three wins under their belts already in 2025.

We recommend backing the Tigers to win by a considerable margin again. The over market also feels like a sensible pick.
