The 2025 NRL season has presented significant challenges for tippers as teams vie for finals spots.
Tipping winners weekly has become increasingly difficult, prompting insights into three standout games for Round 20.
The Raiders, coming off a well-deserved break, sit atop the NRL ladder and are aware that the Storm and Bulldogs are close behind in the minor premiership race.
They are focused on securing the two points against the Eels, who couldn't capitalize on a strong first half against the Panthers and struggled defensively as fatigue set in.
The game will be held at Raiders' home on a brisk Saturday afternoon, and their coach, Ricky Stuart, is determined to ensure they don't falter against the Eels.
Round 20 sure thing: Raiders.
In another matchup, the Sharks face the Sydney Roosters at Sharks Stadium on Friday, July 18.
The Sharks recently triumphed over the Dolphins, thanks in part to an impressive performance from Nicho Hynes.
The challenge lies in whether he can replicate that success against the Roosters, a formidable finals contender.
Playing at home provides the Sharks a critical chance to silence skeptics, and they will aim to secure a solid win against their rivals.
