NRL Round 18 Preview: Our Selections & Staking Plan

We were able to add another +4 units of profit to the pockets in round 17 which makes it 34.18 since we started in round 8 but we’re looking for more in round 18.

Tipping Results (Started In Round 8) :

Round 17 Wrap

Round 17 started with a letdown but we quickly hit back with a 4 unit play on the Storm at -4.5 followed by a 2 unit play on the Roosters -6.5 & finally a unit on the Warriors +7.5.

Let’s take a look at round 18 below.


WESTS TIGERS VS SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS – THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 7:50PM, BANKWEST STADIUM

The Tigers won’t hold particularly fond memories of the Rabbitohs either after losing 18-10 to Souths back in Round 9.

To make matters worse, Wayne Bennett’s Bunnies are hoping to bounce-back after folding in the late stages against the Storm last week.

There was plenty of merit in the Rabbitohs’ first half performance, but they too find themselves with work to do after sliding back down to seventh on the ladder.

Dane Gagai is expected to return this week for South Sydney, while the Tigers remain relatively unchanged.

Typically speaking, the Bunnies have been a great bet on the back of a loss going 5-3 over the last calendar year and they do look the likely winner here with three wins in their last five games against the Tigers.


PENRITH PANTHERS VS PARRAMATTA EELS – FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 7:55PM, PANTHERS STADIUM

The Panthers have looked a little below their best in the past 2 weeks but it seems the good teams still manage to pull out a win despite that & Penrith are certainly doing that.

Their only loss in 2020 was at the hands of the Eels back in round five, so payback will be high on the agenda on Friday night at Panthers Stadium.

Parramatta got their premiership campaign back on track with last week’s convincing win over an in-form Warriors outfit, but we’ll get a much clearer picture of where the Eels are truly at on Friday.

ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS VS CANBERRA RAIDERS – SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 3:00PM, WIN STADIUM

St George lost a thriller to the Cowboys in extra time last Sunday, while the Raiders failed to fire in their Grand Final rematch against the Roosters.

The situation is much more dire for the Saints as they now find themselves sitting six points off the eighth-placed Sharks.

Canberra, meanwhile, has done enough to play finals, but there is still time to sneak back into the top four if results go the Raiders’ way.

The Green Machine took care of the Dragons with a 22-16 victory at home back in July and the trends suggest they should repeat that performance on Saturday.


MELBOURNE STORM VS NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS – SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 12,4:05PM, SUNSHINE COAST STADIUM

The Storm look to have found their best form again with a solid victory over South Sydney last week & the Cowboys will find it tough to stop the roll here.

The Cowboys’ young playmakers Jake Clifford and Scott Drinkwater combined beautifully with veteran fullback Valentine Holmes to snatch a golden-point win over the Dragons last week and will be looking for a huge performance from the two again this week.

CRONULLA SHARKS VS NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS – SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 6:30PM, NESTRATA JUBILEE STADIUM

The NRL has saved the best for last this week in a game that could really help decide the top eight once and for all.

Cronulla simply needs to win to hold on to their spot in the finals, while the 10th placed Warriors can close the gap sitting just four points behind.

New Zealand proved to everyone that they are a worthy contender in their 24-17 loss last week against the Eels, a performance they are sure to build on with their season on the line.

The Warriors pulled off two of the most memorable tries in the history of the game on the stroke of half time, and they might just go one better on Sunday against a Sharks team that gave up 38 points to the Knights.

Shaun Johnson is a chance at returning this week for the Sharks, but that still mightn’t be enough to stop the Kiwis through the middle.

The Sharks did get the better of the Warriors back in July with a punishing 46-10 victory, but that was before the Kiwis discovered their new spark.
