2025 NRLW Round 10 Predictions & Tips
Sydney Roosters vs Canberra Raiders
Allianz Stadium - Friday 5th September 5:40pm (AEST)
The Roosters travelled to Townsville last week and easily accounted for the Cowboys 30-0. In an impressive display, they were ruthless, dominating possession (55%), averaging 9.5m per carry, making 10 line breaks and almost doubling their opponents PCM’s. More impressive was their defence that allowed 0 line breaks and missed just 27 tackles. The Raiders scraped home against the Tigers 17-16 in a thrilling Golden Point contest. They were pressured into completing at just 75% but overcame this with 10.1m per carry and 620 PCM’s. They will be disappointed that they missed 40 tackles and a team like the Roosters will make them pay for such mistakes.
As spirited as the Raiders have been in recent weeks, it would be one of the biggest upsets in the competitions history if they were to win this match. These sentiments are shared by the bookmakers, with the Roosters at very short odds; you must go searching for value in this match. Despite the line offered being rather large, the Roosters attack has proven themselves capable this season and should be able to put enough points on the Raiders to win this game comfortably.

St George-Illawarra Dragons vs North Queensland Cowboys
WIN Stadium – Saturday 6th September 12:45pm (AEST)
The Dragons performed strongly in their 26-18 victory over the Warriors, a much-needed performance given their recent form. Overcoming a 12-10 HT deficit and a horrible completion rate (58%), the Dragons were determined to capture victory. Their 8 line breaks with just 8.1m per carry highlights as much. Missing 39 tackles didn’t help their cause but they will take the result. The Cowboys received a reality check in their 30-nil loss to the Roosters at home. Expected to perform well, the Cowboys were outclassed in every area. Not even an 83% completion rate could help their cause as they failed to make a line break yet conceded 10 and missed 37 tackles.
If the Cowboys want to be taken seriously, they must bounce back from their result last week with a strong performance here. It hasn’t helped their cause that they have made a change in the halves as Kelly moves into halfback and Tillett dropping to the reserves. The return of Southwell for the Dragons also gives them a boost. Based on what each has achieved this season, the defence of the Cowboys has what it takes to capture victory. The Dragons, despite their improvements, as still too inconsistent and their defensive structure will give chances to their opponents. It will be close though, with the winner likely only to prevail late in this match.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs vs Cronulla Sharks
Accor Stadium – Saturday 6th September 5:15pm (AEST)
The less said about the Bulldogs 44-nil loss to the Broncos on the road last week, the better. They were outplayed and outclassed in every area, impacted greatly by their 41% share of possession and 76% completion rate. They let themselves down defensively too by conceding 11 line breaks and missing 40 tackles. The Sharks were gritty in their 19-18 victory over the Knights at home. Trailing 8-4 at HT, they had to also overcome a shocking completion rate (63%) and did so via a strong performance with the ball; they made 9.3m per carry, 558 PCM’s and 8 line breaks to complement their 22 missed tackles and allow them to remain in strong contention for a Top 4 finish.
The Bulldogs are too inconsistent to warrant confidence in this game. Their defensive record in 2025 has let them down, with the Sharks almost averaging conceding half of what the Bulldogs have. Therefore, you must go searching for value in this match. The Bulldogs are capable on their day and will press teams, but the last few weeks have proven to be challenging; the inexperience in this team over an entire season appears to be showing. Once the Sharks get rolling in this contest, they will be challenging to stop over 70 minutes.

New Zealand Warriors vs Brisbane Broncos
FMG Stadium Waikato – Sunday 7th September 12:00pm (AEST)
The Warriors couldn’t capitalise on their opponents’ short comings last week, defeated 26-18 on the road to the Dragons. They were their own worst enemy with a horrible 55% completion rate meaning they only managed 7.8m per carry, allowed 8 line breaks and missed 34 tackles. The Broncos had no such issues in their commanding 44-0 victory over the Bulldogs. Flexing their premiership credentials, their opponents were no match for them as they dominated possession (59%), made 9.2m per carry, had 11 line breaks and missed just 15 tackles.
The changes to each team does give the Warriors a slight chance of disrupting the momentum of their opponents; key players returning will add aggression to their pack. The Broncos have a different level of class though and, despite resting players, will be too strong for their opponents. The hardest decision is finding value in the visitors winning this match. Even the line is dangerously large (19.5). The advice is to play it safe, using the selection below to increase value in a multi or have a large stake with a smaller return.

Newcastle Knights vs Gold Coast Titans
McDonald Jones Stadium – Sunday 7th September 1:45pm (AEST)
The Knights were defeated 19-18 in agonising circumstances by the Sharks on the road last week. Despite holding an 8-4 HT lead, they couldn’t close out the contest when it mattered. They were impacted by a poor completion rate (63%), failing to capitalise on their 9.3m per carry and 8 line breaks. They were even strong defensively missing just 22 tackles, but it mattered little as they lost the match. The Titans were victorious in commanding fashion defeating the Eels 26-10. The result was never in doubt as they lead 20-4 at HT; completing at 82% and averaging 8.2m per carry with 5 line breaks helped their cause. They will need to improve upon their 32 missed tackles though if they are to be competitive against superior teams in the competition.
This game is going to be a great contest. Unfortunately, the Titans have suffered some key omissions this week to decrease their chances of winning. The Knights are not without their own issues but are listed as favourites for a reason. Despite losing last week, they will be improved from that performance. It should give them clarity about what must improve moving forward. With the Titans behind them by just 1-point on the ladder, they will want to make a strong statement with a positive performance here. They are strong in attack and will pressure the Titans to perform above their usual standard if they desire a victory and, based on what we have seen this season, appears to be beyond them.

Parramatta Eels vs Wests Tigers
Commbank Stadium – Sunday 7th September 6:15pm (AEST)
The Eels couldn’t match it with their opponents last week, defeated 26-10 by the Titans on the road. Trying hard, they couldn’t use their superior possession (52%) to their advantage. They were limited by their completion rate (75%) and only have 3 line breaks meant they were unable to build pressure on their opponents. The Tigers were defeated 17-16 on the road by the Raiders in a Golden Point thriller. Trailing 12-4 at HT, they fought their way back into the contest via a strong completion rate (81%) and averaging 9.4m per carry. Unfortunately, they were also let down by 43 missed tackles and will need to improve in this area if they are to build on their victory tally this season.
The Eels are favourites for this game but do not underestimate the improvement that the Tigers have made recently. This will see them pushing their opponents in this match. Interestingly, the Tigers have a better defensive record than the Eels and while they are behind them in attack, they can bring teams into their style of play. The confidence to invest them straight out isn’t as high though, therefore, the preferred option is to invest on either team winning this match by fewer than 10 points.
