NRL Picks: Sydney Roosters vs Penrith Panthers
Several of New South Wales’ Origin heroes collide in a matchup many thought could decide the premiership before the season started.

NRL Picks: New Zealand Warriors v. North Queensland Cowboys
NRL Round 15 rolls on with a two-game slate on Friday, the first of which is Warriors v. Cowboys.

Just three wins separate the sides placed 5th-12th, with many teams on the outside looking in unaffected by Origin and looking to take advantage of those…
NRL Picks: Roosters v. Tigers
With all eyes on one of the most eagerly anticipated openers in State of Origin history, the NRL very much takes a backseat to the build up to a new era of New South Wales vs Queensland. The final game of Round 13 sees two teams face-off with identical records but vastly different sets of…

With all eyes on one of the most eagerly anticipated openers in State of Origin history, the NRL very much takes a backseat to the build up to a new era of New South Wales vs Queensland. Thankfully, as a New South Wales fan and someone who doesn’t want to watch a meaningless game, Kalyn…
NRL Picks and Preview: Rabbitohs vs Sharks
