NRL Round 2 Preview: Our Selections & Staking Plan

We started Round 1 in great form with 6.3 units of profit and a 70% strike rate which was sure to have our accounts looking healthy. We’re not done yet as we hit round 2 looking to double down on what could be a difficult round.
2021 Season Tipping Results:
PARRAMATTA EELS VS MELBOURNE STORM – THURSDAY, MARCH, 18, 8:05PM, BANKWEST STADIUM

The Parramatta Eels will host the Melbourne Storm at Bankwest Stadium on Thursday night as both clubs look to remain undefeated. The reigning premiers could not have been more impressive against the Rabbitohs, opening up a 22-0 lead in the space of half an hour before grinding out a 26-18 victory. The Eels may as well not have shown up in their opening half of 2021, trailing 16-0 to last season’s wooden spooners before a four-try burst in the second half rescued the night for Brad Arthur’s men.

The Eels cannot afford a slow start this weekend as the Storm are sure to be at their clinical best.

GOLD COAST TITANS VS BRISBANE BRONCOS – FRIDAY, MARCH, 19, 8:05PM, CBUS SUPER STADIUM

The Broncos looked a new team in the first half last week as they surged to a 16-0 but a few costly errors in the second half allowed the Eels to sneak away with a victory.

The Titans, meanwhile, failed to fire against a dangerous looking Warriors side in a game Justin Holbrook would probably like to have back.

After a couple of sickening head knocks, there is some good news for the Broncos on the Xavier Coates and John Asiata front with both set to play after training earlier in the week.

Coates in particular looked extremely dangerous on the right-hand side of Brisbane’s attack, which does pose some match-up problems for the Titans after missing 25 tackles last week.

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS VS PENRITH PANTHERS – SATURDAY, MARCH, 20, 3:00PM, BANKWEST STADIUM

Having now won 17 of their last 18 games, it’s no surprise to find Ivan Cleary’s men as firm double-digit favourites in betting as they prepare to face a Bulldogs side still rebuilding for the future.

Canterbury held their own in the first 30 minutes last week before Newcastle’s attack finally got going in the wet and windy conditions.

While the Bulldogs should appreciate a firmer surface on Saturday night, unfortunately, this still shapes as a difficult assignment for new head coach Trent Barrett against a Panthers team that won 42-0 when these two sides last met.

MANLY SEA EAGLES VS SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS – SATURDAY, MARCH, 20, 4:30PM, BROOKVALE OVAL

Des Hasler will be looking for a solid response from his side after they suffered a crushing 42-point defeat by the Roosters in round one.

While they were far from disgraced, the Rabbitohs met their match in Melbourne as the Storm burst clear to pile on 12 points inside the opening ten minutes.

On the plus side, South Sydney did well to answer back by holding the Storm scoreless in the second half, an effort the Bunnies can certainly improve on.

Manly does get some reprieve this week with Kieran Foran set to return to the side, but after struggling to defend the Roosters aerial assault, it’s difficult to imagine the Sea Eagles turning things around in a hurry.

WESTS TIGERS VS SYDNEY ROOSTERS – SUNDAY, MARCH, 21, 4:05PM, CAMPBELLTOWN SPORTS STADIUM

The Tigers appear to be in for another tough Sunday after receiving a touch-up at the hands of the Raiders last week.

Michael Maguire’s side put up a strong fight in the first half, only to fall away in the final 40-minutes due to some sloppy tackling and a handful of errors.

Trent Robinson’s side was impressive from the first whistle as James Tedesco’s miraculous second-minute try turned into a 46-4 onslaught.

Sydney will take to the field this week without Angus Crichton, who will serve a one-match ban for last week’s dangerous tackle, while the Tigers welcome back Adam Doueihi from his own suspension.

While there was a bit to like about the Tigers at times last week, it was clear Maguire’s side are still incapable of playing a full game from start to finish.

CRONULLA SHARKS VS CANBERRA RAIDERS – SUNDAY, MARCH, 21, 6:15PM, NESTRATA JUBILEE STADIUM

After beating the Dragons at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium on Sunday night, the Sharks will return to the same venue – this time as the home team – riding high after their 32-18 triumph.

The Sharks weren’t pretty defensively, but much like last year, they do look a dangerous side with Josh Dugan and Ronaldo Mulitalo both finding the line.

The Raiders have won four straight over Cronulla, but the Sharks have been a steady underdog play covering in six of their last eight games against Canberra.
