Rugby league tips and analysis for NRL Round 16
Last updated: June 2026 — Round 16
Thursday night at BlueBet Stadium
The match of the round. Penrith's home record is outstanding and their middle forward pack should lay the platform. The Storm are always competitive but Penrith's system at home is tough to crack.
Tip: Penrith by 10 points
Best Bet: Penrith -4.5 @ $1.85
Friday night at Suncorp Stadium
The Broncos have been inconsistent but Suncorp provides a genuine home ground advantage. The Roosters' defence has tightened up recently. This could be a low-scoring affair with the Roosters covering the line.
Tip: Brisbane by 6 points
Best Bet: Roosters +6.5 @ $1.90
Saturday at Accor Stadium
Souths have found some form while Canterbury continue to rebuild. Expect the Rabbitohs' class to show through, especially if Latrell Mitchell is involved.
Tip: South Sydney by 14 points
Best Bet: South Sydney -8.5 @ $1.90
3-leg multi: Penrith (H2H) + South Sydney (H2H) + Roosters +6.5 — combined odds approximately $3.20.
