Dolphins v Titans

Dolphins were very disappointing last week. I expect in the weeks to come, they will improve significantly. Plath and Stone are big ins; they remain at home, and I’m sure Wolfe has been all over them this week looking for significant improvement. Titans need to respond, thumped by a big margin last week, they can bob up and play this ground well at times, but without Campbell this looks an ask. 

Dolphins to win and cover the line

With the saturation of 6 agains and a warm Sunday Brisbane afternoon this again looks a game with a heap of points.

Dolphins -9.5 $1.90 

Taking Dolphins on trust to respond here, do get 2 very important key ins, have the on paper potential to be a top 6 if not top 8 side playing the team most likely to run last who conceded 50 last week and have further injury outs

NRL Expert Tips  – Reading The Play

Gerard Condon and Gerard Barton combine to present our NRL tips content.

MrG

Having coached at a senior level for 16 years, including 3 years on the coaching staff of an NRL club, Gerard Condon is a long-term avid student of the game. He’s coached sides to win titles at a senior level, run the football arm of a successful district club, managed professional players and worked in various development roles, so it’s fair to say the game of Rugby League is certainly in his blood and supports an experienced and unique offering.

Mr G’s NRL previews and betting tips combine this knowledge and ‘read’ of the current weekly form with a statistical and betting analysis to provide his followers with a unique and successful approach. He spends hours each week watching and reviewing each and every game, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the form to then weigh against that of the betting markets. His previews and betting tips have been published on the internet via two sports forums for 7 years prior to his public offering through Reading The Play.

MrGB

Gerard Barton started his rugby league story when playing at the age of six, running around in the bush for the Forbes Magpies before eventually landing at Dubbo CYMS. The highlight? Captaining the Dubbo CYMS Under 18s to a premiership – with a young bloke named Andrew Ryan watching on from the bench. 

Like any mad Eels supporter, he went from screaming at the TV to putting his money where his mouth was. What began as casual NRL punting slowly evolved into something much deeper – a full-blown obsession with data analysis. A love for the game then grew into a love for what the play and stats can and can't tell you about the outcome. But here's what matters: GB is a footy headfirst, and self-taught maths and data nerd second. You've got to know the game before you crunch the numbers. Stats don't play football – blokes do. Understanding that distinction is everything.

These days, GB is deep into modelling the key performance areas that actually influence outcomes. Pre-game team forecasts, AI-assisted analysis, the works. It's about finding the edge where footy knowledge meets data science.
