The finals are here and while there are just four matches, the ease at finding winners has diminished.
As you would expect with just the top eight teams remaining, cases can be made for all sides to win this weekend.
The Titans appear to have the toughest job, but after their rise from 10th to eighth last weekend, maybe the stars will remain aligned for them for another week.
The members of the NRL.com tipping panel have installed the higher-ranked teams as clear favourites in three of the four matches, with the Sea Eagles given the best chance of scoring an upset when they face the Storm on Friday night.
On the NRL.com tipping panel leaderboard, the back and forward at the top continues. With nine matches remaining, NRL.com reporter Alicia Newton again finds herself tied for the lead with NRL Fantasy mystery man Lone Scout. NRL Teams host Niav Owens is now just one point off the lead.
If you need help on how each of the remainings teams are looking, Jamie Soward's Power Rankings is the best place to go for an accurate gauge on who's travelling well and who's doing not so well.
Tipping note: Due to the rescheduling of NRLW fixtures, the 2021 NRL Tipping Competition will now NOT include the NRLW fixtures and revert to the same scenario as prior years where the nine matches of the NRL Finals Series count as round 26 and also as a prize month.
So, make sure you tip all the way to grand final day of the NRL season.
