NRL 2026 - R2 OF THE FINALS
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.
ROOSTERS V SHARKS — SATURDAY, ALLIANZ STADIUM
The Roosters return to Allianz Stadium on Saturday night for their sudden-death semi-final against Cronulla.
The Roosters hold a strong historical advantage over the Sharks with a 67-38 overall record, including 14-10 at Allianz Stadium.
Recent meetings have been much tighter, with the last six H2Hs split 3-3.
Points have generally been easy to come by when these sides meet, with four of the last six producing 49 points or more.
Angus Crichton is back and has enjoyed playing against the Sharks recently, scoring in two of his last three against Cronulla.
TIP: ROOSTERS / ANGUS CRICHTON ATS / ROOSTERS 13+ @ $8.50
WARRIORS V KNIGHTS — SUNDAY, EDEN PARK
The Warriors and Knights head to Eden Park on Sunday for an historic finals clash in Auckland.
Not much separates these sides historically, with the Warriors holding a 29-25 overall H2H advantage.
Recent history is much more one-sided - the Warriors have won six of the last seven H2Hs.
Here’s a quirky one from the history books.
The Warriors were minor premiers in 2002 after the Bulldogs were stripped of their points, and lost only three games in New Zealand that season. One of those defeats came against the Knights, who beat them 32-14, with Joey Johns crossing for a hat-trick.
TIP: KNIGHTS / KNIGHTS -2.5 / OVER 44.5 @ $6
