NRL 2026 - R15 Preview

Here are the stats and predictions for the upcoming round of the NRL.

These are the notes I use for 2GB radio and other media gigs for NRL updates.

BRONCOS V RABBITOHS — THURSDAY 8:00PM @ ACCOR STADIUM

The Broncos hold a narrow 3-2 edge across the last five meetings, but South Sydney have enjoyed home-ground success against Brisbane, leading 7-4 at Accor Stadium.

Neither side arrives in great form. Collectively, these teams have managed just one win from their last 10 matches, which helps explain why points could be at a premium. If South Sydney are to challenge, they'll likely need to do it through defence rather than attack.

TIP: BUNNIES TEAM TOTAL UNDER 27.5PTS $1.94

DOLPHINS V ROOSTERS — FRIDAY 8:00PM @ SUNCORP STADIUM

The Roosters lead the head-to-head battle 4-1 with the Dolphins' only victory coming at Suncorp Stadium. Even in Brisbane, points haven't flowed freely for the Dolphins, who have never scored more than 28 points against the Roosters at Suncorp.

Both sides are missing key attacking weapons suggesting the game could be won with less points than usual on the scoreboard.

TIP: DOLPHINS WIN / DOLPHINS UNDER 27.5PTS $5.27

WARRIORS V SHARKS — SATURDAY 5:30PM @ GO MEDIA STADIUM

The Warriors hold a 3-2 advantage across the last five meetings, while the record at Go Media Stadium is locked at 10 wins apiece.

One trend stands out. In six of Cronulla's last seven games at this venue, the Sharks have scored between 12 and 18 points. The Warriors have turned Go Media into one of the toughest road trips in the NRL and look well placed to continue that trend.

TIP: WARRIORS / SHARKS 11-20PTS $2.65

RAIDERS V EELS — SATURDAY 7:35PM @ COMMBANK STADIUM

The Raiders lead the overall record 37-32 and have won four of the last five clashes between the clubs. Canberra have also found points with ease recently, posting 38 or more points in each of their last four matches against the Eels.

Parramatta have won the last two clashes at Commbank, but neither side has exactly been piling on points lately. Across their last five NRL matches, both teams are averaging fewer than 20 points per game. That points towards another close contest.

TIP: EITHER TEAM TO WIN BY UNDER 10.5PTS / UNDER 49.5PTS TOTAL $3.45

TIGERS V TITANS — SUNDAY 2:00PM @ LEICHHARDT OVAL

The Titans lead the overall record 18-11 and hold a narrow 3-2 advantage across the last five meetings. At Leichhardt Oval they also lead 4-3, with the last four clashes at the venue producing 42 points or fewer.

The bigger concern for Gold Coast is consistency. The Titans are 0-7 in their last seven attempts to back up a victory, repeatedly failing to build momentum after a win. With points traditionally hard to come by at Leichhardt, another grind looks likely.

TIP: TITANS +5.5 / UNDER 50.5PTS $3.44
