NRL Round 6 Tips - Moley's predictions for all 8 games

At 1-4, it’s crunch time for the premiers in what shapes as a real danger game against the unpredictable Dolphins. Even with their magic man Nathan Cleary back last week, the Panthers were poor, but another of the wounded brigade, Dylan Edwards, returns this week and he will make a massive difference.

The Roosters are shuffling the deck chairs with Chad Townsend dropped, Dom Young likely to follow and plenty of injuries as well. Their lone win came over the Broncos a few weeks back but it’s hard to see them even coming close to repeating that up in Brisbane.

Another two last-up losers in need of a boost in faraway Perth. The Sharks will be boosted by the return of Siosifa Talakai and Teig Wilton while Lachlan Croker is available again for Manly. Tough game to predict but I see the Sharks just taking the points, with Manly still shell-shocked after the Melbourne mauling.

The Bunnies pulled off a brave win over the Roosters last week but have lost three players to injury, including halves Cody Walker and Jamie Humphreys. That sees Latrell Mitchell move to five-eighth which could determine the game. After a poor start to the year, the Cowboys have turned things around with back-to-back wins and should be too strong on neutral turf in Perth.

Both teams are on a high after dramatic wins last week but I think this one will come down to whoever handles the steamy conditions of Darwin better. The Eels have suffered a major blow with last weekend’s last gasp hero Zac Lomax out and I think the Raiders have the momentum and spirit to get the job done.

Two last-up winners but the Storm looked every inch premiership favourites in thumping Manly, while the Warriors had to scrap to a win over the struggling Tigers. Melbourne have won the last dozen games between the teams are are near invincible at home - an easy game to pick.

If you are looking for an upset this round - this is the game to go for. The Knights were lucky to score 0 against the Bulldogs last week and are riddled with injury while the Tigers have star playmaker Jarome Luai and several other players coming back. The Newcastle crowd shapes as the Tigers’ biggest danger - if they can keep them quiet, the two points is theirs.
