NRL Round 9 Best Bets: Tryscorers, Value Plays and Weekend Multi

Round 9 shapes as one of those weeks where you don’t need to overcomplicate things.

There are a few games that look like genuine toss-ups, but there are also some really clear angles around tryscorers and value margins if you’re prepared to back your read.

Here’s where we’re landing this week.

Same Game Multi of the Week

Dolphins vs Storm Tryscorer Multi ($4.70)

Hammer + Farnworth + Sua Fa’alogo anytime

Hammer + Farnworth + Fa'alogoTryscorer Multi $4.70Bet Here

The dabble.com.au referral code is BETSAU. 18+. T&Cs apply.

Simple logic. Points in the game, back the most involved finishers.

Storm Bounce Back Spot

Melbourne Storm $2.30MoneylineBet Here

18+ only. T&Cs apply

This feels like the week Melbourne respond.

After everything that’s happened over the last few weeks, including public frustration from Craig Bellamy, there has to be a reaction. The Dolphins can score points, but defensively they’ve been vulnerable, and this shapes as a game where the Storm can finally steady things.

Tryscorer Play:

Hammer + Herbie Farnworth + Sua Fa’alogo anytime ($4.70)

If this game opens up like expected, these are the three most likely to be involved.

Value in a Tight Bulldogs vs Cowboys Clash

Bulldogs 1-12 $3.10Winning MarginBet Here

New customers only. 18+ T&Cs and wagering requirements apply. WHAT'S GAMBLING REALLY COSTING YOU? Set a deposit limit.

This one is messy on paper, which usually points to a close result.

The Cowboys have been the better side overall, but the Bulldogs at home in a tight contest looks like the value play, especially in that 1–12 range.

Tryscorer:

Sitili Tupouniua anytime ($3.50)

Big body, good price, and exactly the type of player who can crash over in a tight game.

Warriors Set to Roll Parramatta

Warriors 13+ $2.50Winning MarginBet Here

18+. T&Cs apply

This feels like one of the clearer reads of the round.

Parramatta are heavily depleted and the Warriors have been building nicely. Across the middle and out wide, they simply have too much power right now.

Tryscorer Play:

Alofiana Khan-Pereira 2+ tries ($3.00)

He’s in the kind of form where multiple tries is always live, especially against a side struggling defensively.

Roosters Building Momentum

Roosters 7-12 $6.50Winning MarginBet Here

The Betfocus.com.au code is BETS. 18+ only. T&Cs apply. Chances are you’re about to lose.

There’s a sense the Roosters are starting to click.

Confidence from last week’s performance, Origin motivation across the squad, and a Broncos side still finding consistency all point toward a Roosters win, but not a blowout.

This feels like a controlled result in that middle margin range.

Tryscorer:

Robert Toia anytime ($2.50)
