• Nick Tedeschi
This is your weekly dose of NRL truth-telling, as tipster and rugby league raconteur Nick Tedeschi tears through the good, the bad and the indefensible, with absolutely no regard for bruised egos. There Will Be No Apology to Laurie NSW coach Laurie Daley decided that after an incredibly lucky series win gifted to the Blues by officials both on the field and off the field that it was time to puff out the chest and demand his critics “show some balls”. With the shield safely in the possession of NSW, Daley started peacocking at the press conference, a premeditated retaliation…

The finally Origin impacted round sees a slate of seven games with some very compelling matches led by the Dolphins-Sharks clash on Saturday afternoon and the Sunday opener between South Sydney and Newcastle. Wests Tigers vs New Zealand Warriors 10:00pm Friday | Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Sydney New Zealand -7.5 ($1.83) The Tigers are now firmly in the death spiral as another season without finals football is all but certain after a demoralising loss to the St George Illawarra Dragons, blowing a lead to hand the Red V just their second win of the season. It was their third straight defeat…

NRL Women Tips & Preview | Round 2

• Nick Tedeschi
We are one week down in the 11-week NRLW season with losers from Round 1 well behind the eight-ball if they go down again and teams who win twice in two weeks well on the way to a finals berth. Cronulla Sharks Women vs Brisbane Broncos Women 9:45pm Thursday | Ocean Protect Stadium, Sydney Brisbane -15.5 ($1.90) Cronulla are an utterly horrific team at night and that bodes poorly for them against a Brisbane team that can run up a score quickly. Over the last two seasons the Sharks have played seven games after 5pm and are 1-6 straight up…

2026 State Of Origin Game III | Preview & Tips

• Nick Tedeschi
Match Preview The trading team have finally got it right by installing Queensland as favourites for the decider – but even still they have not gone short enough on the Maroons. The starting point has to be the fact that Queensland are up 64 points to 28 this series when they have had 13 players on the field. Kalyn Ponga’s send off in the opener with 23 minutes remaining has had a monumental impact on this series. Not only did it gift the Blues a win in the opener, it really suckered the Blues into thinking they were in any…

NRL Tips & Preview | Round 18

Round 18 will proceed without those slated for Origin duty but shapes as an important week with six Top 8 teams in action, given the chance to put a gap between the haves and have nots in 2026. Penrith Panthers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs 10:00pm Friday | CommBank Stadium, Sydney Under 45.5 ($1.98) With both teams missing so much key talent, it very much shapes as a defensive battle when the two top attacking teams in the NRL open up Round 18. Penrith have Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo on Origin duty along with Liam Martin while Souths have just…
