2022 NRL Round 12: Early mail and betting leans for each game

Read on for NRL Round 12 early mail and betting leans for each game…

NRL Round 12: Storm vs Manly, Thursday night

Early prediction: Storm, just
The value: Manly +13.5 at TopSport

• Storm are struggling against the top teams, with the Panthers and Cowboys dominating them
• Storm do not have the depth that they once did
• Manly will sorely miss Tommy T, but looked good against the Eels

Panthers vs Cowboys, Friday night

Early prediction: Panthers
The value: Total points under 40.5 at TopSport

• Panthers continue to blow quality opposition off the park
• Cowboys are going well and without injury, would be a chance of causing an upset here.
• But the loss of Jason Taumalolo could be too much to overcome

Not sure about this headline.
Sure the Cowboys have had a good draw, but you can only win what is put in front of you.

The Panthers are going to be a good test for them and hopefully come out on top, but these headlines scare me. pic.twitter.com/X2LWVmEfIl

NRL Round 12: Broncos vs Titans, Friday night

Early prediction: Broncos
The value: Broncos -7.5 at TopSport

• Broncos will be without Adam Reynolds again, but Ezra M showed he is pure class
• Titans look set to finally welcome back Fifita, which will be huge against his old team.
• At home and full of confidence, the Broncos should continue their winning ways

NRL Round 12: Warriors vs Knights, Saturday afternoon

Early prediction: Knights
The value: Knights H2H, $2.10 at TopSport

• Both teams coming off disappointing losses last week after blowing their momentum in the second half
• Fonua-Blake under an injury cloud, compounding the loss of Lodge for the Warriors
• Losing Best might sound bad for the Knights, he wasn’t in great form

Souths vs Wests, Saturday afternoon

Early prediction: Souths, just
The value: Wests +7.5 at TopSport

• Cameron Murray and Mark Nicholls scheduled to return to bolster Souths’ leaky defence.
• Wests overcame some big injuries to beat the Bulldogs last weekend.
• With Nofouluma and Laurie potentially back, Wests are some chance of causing an upset

Sharks vs Roosters, Saturday night

Early prediction: Sharks
The value: Sharks -1.5 at TopSport

• Sharks head into this one without Ramien, Finucane and Hamlin-Uele.
• Roosters will still be without Radley, but otherwise their squad is looking strong.
• Roosters will be hard to beat here, but Sharks should just do enough.

NRL Round 12: Bulldogs vs Dragons, Sunday afternoon

Early prediction: Close!
The value: Bulldogs +4.5 at TopSport

• Returning to Belmore and with backs against the wall… if the Bulldogs don’t come out firing here, they never will.
• Doggies showed promising signs in the second half last week
• Dragons played okay against Warriors, but were fortunate that the Warriors made some horrible defensive decisions.

Raiders vs Eels, Sunday afternoon

Early prediction: Eels, just
The value: Raiders +4.5 at TopSport

• While the loss of Nicoll-Klokstad is not great, it is not as big of a loss as it once was.
• The Eels were lucky to get away with the win against Manly
• Raiders going for 4 in a row and at home for a day game – this should be a thriller.
