NRL Round 7: Sharks vs Manly, Thursday night
Early prediction: Sharks
The value: Sharks -6.5 at TopSport
- Sharks look better with Nikora and Katoa back, but the loss of Uele and Finucane hurts
- Manly are also without some key big men in Taupau, Keppie and Aloiai.
- Manly team missing talent with the continued absence of Tommy T and Schuster
Broncos vs Bulldogs, Friday night
Early prediction: Broncos
The value: Broncos -6.5 at TopSport
- Broncos looking stronger with some changes to their spine and the return of Haas and Flegler
- Bulldogs could be in trouble with COVID ripping through their squad
- Broncos a have a good record at the line this season

NRL Round 7: Cowboys vs Titans, Saturday afternoon
Early prediction: Cowboys
The value: Cowboys H2H at TopSport
- Raiders may have gifted the Cowboys possession, but the Cowboys scored with precision attack and physical dominance.
- Titans looked feeble at times against Manly, with their goal line defence far too weak.
- Cowboys look to have an advantage across the park and are at home
NRL Round 7: Tigers vs Souths, Saturday night
Early prediction: Souths by 12
The value: Tigers at TopSport
- Hastings, Brooks and Laurie will trouble Souths if the Wests forwards can give them some field position.
- Souths playing well but making lots of errors and still lack their polish of 2021.
- Wests are looking better and will be confident, but Souths should be too strong.
Knights vs Eels, Sunday afternoon
Early prediction: Eels
The value: Total Points under at TopSport
- Knights were gutsy against the Dragons, putting in their best performance in a month.
- Klemmer added an extra dimension and Clune will be a welcome addition, but the Knights still missing Brailey, Barnett and Fitzgibbon.
- But the Eels also look strong with Paulo back in the team
Panthers vs Raiders, Sunday afternoon
Early prediction: Panthers
The value: Raiders +9.5 in first half at TopSport
- Panthers can pile on points with ease and the Raiders are just handing over possession… this could get ugly.
- Raiders also have made some important changes with Savage starting on wing and Rapana to fullback
- Reinvigorated Raiders could come out firing and make a game of it early
CONGRATULATIONS HARRY! RUSHTON TO DEBUT!

NRL Round 7: Dragons vs Roosters, Monday afternoon
Early prediction: Roosters by 6
The value: Dragons +12.5 at TopSport
- The Dragons put together some great attacking movements last week
- Roosters have been winning, but are not covering betting lines
- The class of Tedesco and Keary should be enough for the win, but I think this will be close
Storm vs Warriors, Monday night
Early prediction: Storm
The value: Warriors +18.5 at TopSport
- Storm looking strong with Bromwich brothers back in the forwards and the spine settled
- Warriors welcome back Lodge and likely Tevega in the middle
- Storm are hard to beat at home, but the Warriors should do enough to cover with the head start.
