NRL round 13 previews – Head-to-head Match-Ups Analytic
The Titans spent the remainder of the week feeling sorry for themselves after a humiliating loss to the Broncos.
When Brad Fittler let go of Josh Addo-Carr, a winger who had been with the Blues for a long time, Queensland selector Darren Lockyer was taken aback.
As a result, without their captain and best player, Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, they will be unable to compete with North Queensland in 2022. Jeremiah Nanai, Reuben Cotter, and Valentine Holmes have all sustained injuries and will be unable to play in Origin.
In this situation, they will have a hard time succeeding. Still, with a huge number of players and a lot of power, the Cowboys are the clear favorite in this contest. Despite this, the Titans will make it to the end and avoid falling farther behind in the standings.
Penrith Panthers v Canterbury Bulldogs
Penrith’s storied football factory takes center stage as backup players step up to fill in for the six stars who will miss the Origin series. The odds for the home team are still so low at the bookies that betting on them is practically impossible.
It’s impossible to argue against this view when James Fisher-Harris, Viliame Kikau, and Moses Leota stay in the group. Api Koroisau and Dylan Edwards are still on the team. The Bulldogs have improved under Mick Potter, but they won’t be able to surprise the Panthers until they can improve their slow starts.
Due to Luke Thompson’s awkward footwork at the line the previous weekend, Matt Burton’s kicking radar was thrown off, but it has hopefully been re-adjusted. Both of these players have the ability to hurt other players. The Panthers have a ten-point edge over their opponents.
Manly Sea Eagles v New Zealand Warriors
Because he was not picked for the NSW Origin team, Jake Trbojevic will lead Manly. When two of the Sea Eagles’ finest players, Tom Trbojevic’s younger brother and Daly Cherry-Evans, are absent, the Serbian defender will have no trouble encouraging his team. Trbojevic is not the sort of person who would be disappointed if he was not chosen to represent his country. Once Martin Taupau and Jason Saab return, Josh Schuster will be free to play anywhere he wants. Both will add to the team’s strength. Even if the other side does not engage in much combat, it is worth going to observe this tactic.
Canberra Raiders v Sydney Roosters
Jack Wighton and Josh Papali’i will be unable to play for the Raiders or Roosters due to the State of Origin tournament. The Raiders will be without James Tedesco, Daniel Tupou, and Lindsay Collins.
Since Haas’ request to be released has been dropped, the Broncos and Haas have stopped talking about a new contract.
Joseph Manu will be moved to the No. 1 jersey, where he can play any position, while Billy Smith and Kevin Naiqama will be brought in to play outside back. Matt Frawley will take Wighton’s spot in the No. 6 jersey. Trey Mooney will come off the bench for Canberra. In high school, he was a top performer. When the Roosters won the championship in 2002, Ricky Stuart was invited to the team’s 20th anniversary party.
This helped him and the rest of the staff get to know one other. Although I wouldn’t say “love is in the air,” the two instructors are improving their relationship. Six of the last eight matches between the two clubs have gone to the Roosters, including the 2019 grand final.
