NRL Round 22 Tipping Insights
The 2025 NRL season has proven to be exceptionally challenging for tips, especially as teams vie for final spots.
Winning predictions each week seem nearly impossible, so here's a guide focusing on three key matchups.
Last week, I confidently labeled the Broncos and Warriors as "sure things," but the unpredictable nature of this season challenged that rationale.
I'll adjust my predictions for this week.
Having previously identified the Bulldogs as potential upset contenders, their recent performance against the Sea Eagles has convinced me they will overcome the Tigers.
While the Tigers fought valiantly in the opening half against the Panthers, they ultimately struggled to penetrate the Panthers' strong defense, which is second only to that of the Bulldogs.
The Tigers' inability to breach the Bulldogs' formidable defense will prove detrimental, especially as the Bulldogs are enhancing their attacking strategy with each game.
The partnership between their halves is showing significant improvement, despite some lingering disorganization.
In a noteworthy matchup, Bulldogs halfback Lachlan Galvin will face the Tigers, the very team he debuted with.
While the Tigers are poised to apply pressure, Galvin, just 20 years old, possesses the skill to withstand their challenges and capitalize on openings.
Round 22 sure thing: Bulldogs
