NRL Round 6 Preview

Both sides have leaked several points in recent weeks and have struggled in defence. Meanwhile, they are both great attacking teams led by Isaiya Katoa and Nathan Cleary.

The Dolphins may have secured their first win last round, but the Panthers are attempting to get back to their winning ways, and it’s hard to see them losing five consecutive matches.

Fresh off inking a contract extension to remain at the club for 2026, winger Christian Tuipulotu is in career-best form at the moment and has scored five tries in four matches to begin the season.

The Dragons have won four of their last five matches against the Titans and have an impeccable record at home while their opponents continue to struggle outside of Queensland.

In what is set to be a high-scoring game for the Brisbane Broncos, they are set to have several try-scorers on Friday night, with Selwyn Cobbo the favourite to cross for a double.

Although the Roosters have won three of the last five against the Broncos, when the teams met earlier in the year, the home side produced a 50-14 thrashing and were yet to find their stride.

Briton Nikora has been a force on the edge for the Sharks and has been able to score from near the try-line. It is expected that when he is within his opponent’s 20-metres, he will find the ball in his hands.

Coming off their first loss at home, Manly will face the difficult task of taking on the Sharks, who not only have won four of the past five meetings between the two sides but are in desperate need of a dominant victory.

The Rabbitohs may be without several star players such as Cody Walker and Jamie Humphreys, but as they showed last week, they have enough fire-power to fill their absences.

Nearing Ken Irvin as the NRL’s all-time greatest try-scorer, veteran winger Alex Johnston makes his return to the field on Saturday and seems to always cross the line with ease.

With no Zac Lomax (injury) playing this week, the Eels will need one of their outside backs to step up in his place…enter Josh Addo-Carr who has yet to fire in his new colours but has the ability to produce spectacular moments out of nothing.

Although they are outsiders for the clash, the Eels are coming off a Golden Point win against the Dragons – their first victory of the season – and will be eager to make it two in a row against the Raiders.

Fresh off a strong win against the Manly Sea Eagles, there is no stopping the Melbourne Storm and they have shown that they are a class above the rest of the competition.

With their team fully fit and available, the Storm have produced some strong performances in the opening 40 minutes to open up the game. If the weather can remain dry, hot, and spotless, a high-scoring game is set to be on the cards.

Wests Tigers winger Sunia Turuva has been one of the best recruits this season and has continually crossed the try-line in nearly every match he has played this season.

Receiving back Jarome Luai, Jeral Skelton and Samuela Fainu from injury, the Tigers are considered the outsiders for this week. Still, they could produce an upset with the Knights naming a pretty inexperienced side.
