The 2025 NRL season promises to be a challenging one for tippers, with key player movements and intense competition.
Tipping eight winners every weekend will be tough, so each week experts will highlight three standout games to offer some guidance.
For Round 5, the sure thing is the Broncos over the Tigers, with Brisbane expected to defeat a brave but ultimately outmatched Tigers side.
The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will face off against the Melbourne Storm, with the Sea Eagles missing key player Tom Trbojevic due to injury.
Despite his absence, Manly managed a big win against the Raiders and will look to continue their success against a tough Storm side on Sunday.
"I will leave the Eels alone this week, not least because they might just get up over the Dragons.
Instead the sure thing for this week will be the Broncos over the Tigers." The Broncos emerged victorious over the Dolphins in their last match, while the Tigers fell short against the Warriors.
In a clash between these two teams, the Broncos are favored to come out on top due to their class and home ground advantage.
Despite the Tigers' improvement, they are predicted to concede enough points to lose to Brisbane.
"The Sea Eagles started well against the Eels last week and looked likely to run up a really big score, before Tom Trbojevic limped off at halftime." Despite Trbojevic's injury, the Sea Eagles managed to secure a comfortable win against the Eels and the Raiders in previous matches.
With the team set to face the Storm without Trbojevic, they will need to rely on their depth and determination to overcome the tough competition and maintain their winning streak.
