NRLW Tips - NRL Women's Preview Round 5 2024

We are at the halfway stage of the NRLW season and with last year’s Grand Finalists on the outside of the Top 4 looking in and just one unbeaten team remaining, things are starting to get serious.

Eels v Knights

Eels +2.5

Line

Bet Now

$1.87

Parramatta have been vastly improved this year and it has come on the back of their defence with the Eels keeping opponents to 10 or fewer in three of four games. Newcastle have been terribly disappointing as they seek three straight titles with losses to the Dragons and Sharks in their last two, both as favourites. The loss of Jesse Southwell for Newcastle is a big blow.

Tough forward Kennedy Cherrington has scored in three of four matches this year.

Olivia Higgins has seven tries in her 22 matches for the Knights.

Raiders v Cowboys

Raiders -1.5

Canberra are a surprisingly big price here. North Queensland come off an impressive 11-10 win over the Titans but their two wins have come at Queensland Country Bank. The Raiders have not won since Round 1 but they have covered three of four this year and get a big bump playing at home.

Same Game Multi

Madison Bartlett Try/Jakiya Whitfeld Try

Maddie Bartlett ranks second all-time in tryscoring and has four in four matches this year.

Jakiya Whitfeld has three tries in her last three matches.

Titans v Roosters

Roosters -2.5

Line

$1.90

Gold Coast have disappointed this year but remain a team with some highly talented players while the Roosters are deserved premiership favourites. The Roosters were stiff not to win in Round 1 and have since recorded three wins of 16 or more. Expect John Strange’s women to have too much firepower.

Same Game Multi

Jayme Fressard Try/Isabelle Kelly Try

Same Game Multi

Bet Now

$TBA

Jayme Fressard is maybe the most underrated tryscorer in the NRLW. She has 15 tries in her last 17 games.

Isabelle Kelly returned to the centres last week and scored a double. She now has seven tries in her last nine in the centres.

Tigers v Broncos

Tigers +13.5

Line

Bet Now

$1.90

There is no question that the Broncos are a better team but this line is a little big. The winless Tigers were vastly improved last week in a close loss to the Eels. The Broncos are starting to find form but cannot take them interstate laying such a huge number this early in the season.

Same Game Multi

Julia Robinson Try/Leianne Tufuga Try

Same Game Multi

Bet Now

$TBA

Robinson comes off an impressive double and now has four tries in four games this year.

Tufuga has nine tries in 25 games and is due some positive regression as she is the Tigers most dangerous outside back.

Dragons v Sharks

Sharks -7.5

Line

Bet Now

$1.90

The Sharks are the only unbeaten team and should have it over their local rivals. The Sharks have been reliable defensively and that is the big guide, conceding just 10ppg. The Dragons have been all over the ship but have conceded 28-plus in two of their last three and have lost both games at Wollongong this year by more than eight points.

Same Game Multi

Annessa Biddle Try/Teagan Berry Try

Same Game Multi

Bet Now

$TBA

Annessa Biddle has scored in two of her last three and is emerging as a quality young centre.

Teagan Berry is the all-time leading NRLW tryscorer and she has crossed in every game this year.
