2026 NRL Tipping

If they’re both NRL tipping comps on ESPN the tips are the same across each comp automatically

Nah one is on ESPN - other is via the NRL Tipping App

I just copy the tips over. Yet a certain tip didn’t work out last night. And I think we all know who supports them..

Round 8 Results

A round to reflect, especially for some teams after those performances. Notable round for some members with so well done for the use of the Joker from @JohnsonTV which almost launched him into 1st if the Eels hadn’t let them down and @Alexander_Clark for getting all their tips correct and getting a 3 point bonus!

Next few weeks should be spicy with Origin soon and how everyone applies their strategy for their Jokers.

A look at the ladder though with the top three as:
1st Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to claim your crown so you can be tagged) - 7 weeks in the lead, fends off the competition. 43 points
2nd @JohnsonTV with the Joker to take second place and narrowly misses first. 41 points.
3rd @LiamP goes down one with the Joker played by his opponenets, stays a point clear to be in the top three. 40 points

Lastly, important to note the top three have all currently used 1 of their 3 Jokers in the last few rounds. They naturally would be ahead unless they had a shocker with the Joker enabled. Expect it to shift more with more Jokers being played.
Round 9 begins Thursday May 1 with the Doggies and Cowboys doing battle at Accor

I have seen how powerful The Joker can be during the early rounds of this competition. With me in the bottom half of the table last round, I finally used a Joker and it worked brilliantly.

My whole plan is to try to keep pace without the Joker for as long as possible and then use them as late as possible (bearing in mind Origin rounds often make it harder/have less points available)
Bear in mind that positions 1-9 are separated by a difference of 7 points, and many of those individual positions being by margin

Round 9 Results

Fairly same tips from everyone except for the opener and a couple outliers by members throughout the round. No jokers seen, with places 1-9 within 8 points of each other.

Our ladder for the top three is:
1st Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to claim your crown so you can be tagged) - Is there anyone who can beat her? 8 weeks on top. 48 points
2nd @LiamP moves up a place, 46 points
3rd @JohnsonTV moves down to 3rd and fends off the opposition. 43 points.

Up next we’ll find out if the Bulldogs can bounce back against the Phins at Suncorp Thursday 7.50pm

Round 10 Results

Over 1/3 of the way through regular season, and it’s still a close race. Bit of a waste of a Joker on my part, only one point ahead of 9th who didn’t use a Joker. Still anyone’s race.

Our top three at this point in the comp is:
1st Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to claim your crown so you can be tagged) - At this point we should consider conceding. 9 weeks on top. 54 points
2nd @JohnsonTV returns to the top two. 51 points
3rd @sj2450 finds his way back to third for the first time since R7. Holds it only by margin. 50 points (180)

Magic Round is our next stop on the calendar as we all make our way to Brisbane to see Sharks V Bulldogs 6pm Friday

And, extra bonus tip advice for those who want an easy point - tip Penrith in their clash against the Dragons 6.25pm Sunday :winking_face_with_tongue:

Round 11 Results

The last round before the Origin period saw the field narrow with 7 points sitting between first and 9th place.
The ladder shifted with @ElCapitanCranky knocking off Katie C after 9 weeks on top. Notable plunge by @MossPickle losing four spots in a poor Magic Round performance.

The top three are:
1st @ElCapitanCranky using his first Joker to go from 9th to 1st. What a move. 61 points
2nd Katie (again, whoever this is,feel free to make yourself known so you can be tagged) - knocked off after a strong two months on top. 60 points.
3rd @LiamP moves back onto the podium after dropping twice last round. 57 points

Round 12 Results

Shorter round with Origin taking place on Wednesday night (remember to tip by scrolling up if you haven’t already). @MossPickle forgetting to tip the first game could have cost me an all perfect round. Still close in the field.

This week’s top three:
1st @ElCapitanCranky holding onto 1st by margin. Next week should be interesting. 64 points (228)
2nd Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to make yourself known so you can be tagged) - in second place thanks to margin. Wanting to get the crown previously held for nine weeks. 61 points (256)
3rd @LiamP breaks away from 4th a bit. 61 points

Next week begins Friday with Sharks V Sea Eagles

Round 13 Results + State Of Origin I Results

Firstly, congradulations to @Alexander_Clark @ElCapitanCranky @Holden_Straya @JohnsonTV and @sj2450 for correctly tipping the NSW Blues for State Of Origin. I will add one point to your ESPN Footy Tips score at the conclusion of the season. Please tell me what your username on ESPN Tipping is :slight_smile:



A smaller round thanks to Origin sees Katie go back to number 1. Pretty quiet round overall only minor changes lower down the ladder order. @sj2450 uses his first Joker, interesting move given it’s a smaller round and less points to be won overall

This week’s top three not inclusive of Origin points
1st Katie (whoever this is please notify me!) makes her way back to 1st - 68 pts
2nd @ElCapitanCranky gets bumped down by one after the Cowboys lost to the Green Machine. 67 pts
3rd @LiamP stays on in fourth, fends of a use of a Joker. 64 pts

The next match is Thursday 7.50pm with the Eagles V Rabbitohs

Round 14 Results

The long weekend of footy in NSW certainly made things interesting. Top three stays solid, while @Holden_Straya attempts to come back using the Joker, with the highest score in the round, narrowly behind @MossPickle who only got 2 points :flushed_face:

Next week should be spicy with a lot of byes

This week’s top three:
1st @ElCapitanCranky tussles back into 1st. 74 points
2nd Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to make yourself known so you can be tagged) - A point behind, the Cowboys the difference. 73 points
3rd @LiamP still clinging to 3rd, just barely. 69 points

Round 15 kicks off Thursday with Rabbitohs V Broncos

Congrats to @foxyrover @LiamP and @MossPickle for correctly tipping the Maroons in that destruction of the Blues on Wednesday night, one point will be added to your tallies


Round 15 Results

A first in the comp, Katie C gets a round with none correct, allowing 1st to run away with it. @Holden_Straya forgot to tip as well. All up, a very dull round with only @sj2450 really able to pick the winners after the Wahs upset.

The top three this week (not inclusive of Origin points):
1st @ElCapitanCranky inflates the lead he has. 76 poinys
2nd Katie (again, whoever this is, feel free to make yourself known so you can be tagged) - Slips to be comfortable in 2nd. 73 points
3rd @sj2450 moves into third place on margin. 71 points (262)

Round 16 starts tonight with the Knights V Dragons in Newcastle.

I wonder why Mr Pickle has stopped updating the good folk here about the NRL tipping comp progress? :thinking: :rofl:

And on my Schools tipping comp.. I’m 3rd.. and there’s 40 other people in it..

Not bad for a rookie

Round 21 Results

Wow, look at me! - doing an update. Not too much action with 1st out by a hot mile with the race for 2nd well and truly on. @MossPickle on a hot comeback with 4/4… and then burnt it going 0/4 in the back chunk of the round. And Katie C’s fall from grace continues. Horrendous.

Top 3

1. @ElCapitanCranky - cruising to victory currently. 118pts
2. @Alexander_Clark - nudges ahead, holding off 3rd. 103pts
3. @LiamP - chasing 2nd, in 3rd currently. Big round ahead. 102pts

I tipped the Blues to win as well. Games 1 and 3 to be precise.

Fixed - blocked out the fact that the Blues actually won… thanks for the smouldering reminder

Doing my civic duty to remind you that NSW gets Origin. :wink:
