2022 NRL Round 15: Early mail and betting leans for each game

Read on for NRL Round 15 early mail and value betting leans for each game…

NRL Round 15: Dragons vs Souths, Thursday night

Early prediction: Souths, just
The value: Draw at half time at speculative odds at TopSport

• Dragons look a little stronger with Su’a and Sims in the back row, but were very impatient last weekend against Cowboys.
• Souths have the same line-up as they had against Titans, where they looked good without being great.
• Souths should get the job done here, but Dragons in Wollongong will come out firing and keep it close early.

NRL Round 15: Manly vs Cowboys, Friday night

Early prediction: Cowboys
The value: Cowboys -4.5 at TopSport

• Manly have looked great over the past fortnight, but Warriors and Wests both rolled over after their coaches were sacked.
• This is a big step up in class and I think the Cowboys machine will keep chugging along with low error rates and great defence.
• Manly at home are hard to beat, but the Cowboys have better outside backs and that’s where they’ll get the win.

Storm vs Broncos, Friday night

Early prediction: Storm
The value: Broncos +14 at TopSport

• Adam Reynolds out is a huge loss, particularly considering his replacement is the veteran Tyrone Roberts.
• Storm also look likely to welcome back Papenhuyzen, so the big line is understandable.
• Broncos still have a strong team and are playing with enormous self-belief

NRL Round 15: Sharks vs Titans, Saturday afternoon

Early prediction: Sharks
The value: Titans +13.5 at TopSport

• This game is being played in Coffs Harbour, so although the Titans now sit dead last, they are a slight chance of an upset here.
• Brimson is back at 1 and Marzhew keeps his wing spot. The Titans are finally getting it right at selection
• Sharks looking very strong again and will be hard to beat, but the line looks a little too big.

Warriors vs Panthers, Saturday afternoon

Early prediction: Panthers
The value: Warriors +26.5 at TopSport

• Warriors have made some good changes, with Harris-Tavita finally being replaced after an awful run of form. Arthurs for Berry is also an overdue change.
• Panthers looking awesome as usual and will be incredibly hard to beat
• The line is very big and at home, the Warriors are a chance of covering if Fonua-Blake is a late inclusion.

Eels v Roosters, Saturday night

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

• The Eels suffered a shock loss against the Doggies and could be suffering one of their typical mid-season form slumps.
• Eels are notorious for exploding out of the blocks but then struggle to maintain the form for the regular season.
• The Roosters continue to struggle with their halves getting bashed and their forward pack looking slow and tired.

NRL Round 15: Raiders vs Knights, Sunday afternoon

Early prediction: Raiders comfortably
The value: Raiders -10 at TopSport

• The Raiders really blew it against the Broncos, with their stuttering second half attack again being their weakness.
• Fogarty and Wighton failed to control the game and wasted so many changes.
• Knights are dreadful at the moment and their coach is now under mounting pressure.

Bulldogs vs Wests, Sunday afternoon

Early prediction: Draw
The value: Full Time Draw for speculative value at TopSport

• The Bulldogs attack has really responded since the sacking of Trent Barrett
• Wests were pathetic against Manly last weekend, and with Luciano leaving mid-season to join the Cowboys, it’s clear the place is a shambles.
• The return of Doueihi and his leadership could be enough to propel the Tigers to victory in a thriller.
