NRL Footy Tipping continues this week, and who’d be a tipster, or a coach. The focus seems to have moved on to the busted arse teams and forward passes this week, and since we can’t refer forward passes to our database to help us with NRL tipping, we’d use coaching records for your Alternative NRL Round 5 Tipping Method.
Nice to see the Dragons give Paul McGregor four more weeks, our poor tipping means we may not get that long.
Instead of allowing the competition admin to give you away teams for when you don’t care, why not take on board our weekly Alternative NRL Tipping method. Each week there will be a new theme, and occasionally it will have nothing to do with rugby league. Just the way we like it.
This week’s Alternative NRL Round 5 Tipping is all about how good or bad the current club’s current coach is going.
Our theory is that a team whose coach has a worse current record than their opponent is more likely to lose. Which sounds pretty simple and obvious., Well, don’t complain, take our Alternative NRL Round 5 Tipping Method and get your 8/8.
Or you could pick your own NRL Round 4 tips.

Best of Barely Interesting NRL Round 5 Stats
Our full preview below has loads of barely interesting facts (link below), and we’ll bring the best of them here for you for your NRL Round 4 Tipping pleasure.
Manly v Broncos have never met on a Thursday.
Broncos have won all four clashes in June, which is decent effort given origin affects both sides in the past, but especially the Broncos.
A team has scored zero in each of the last three Warriors games in NSW.
No team has scored fewer points after four rounds since our records go back to 1998 than the Warriors have this season (24).
It is 20-20 for games since 1998 between Penrith and Parramatta. And it is split 50-50 for both Day and Night games.
Penrith and Parramatta are the two leading teams for run metres. If you add the two together, you get the distance in walking from Penrith to the Rooty Hill RSL.
Neither Souths or Gold Coast have won at Bankwest Stadium. Although, one is a technicality, because the Gold Coast have yet to play there.
Newcastle have a 4-1 H2H record for games kicking off between 5pm and 6pm.
Canberra have lost just one of their last six away games v Sydney opposition. That one in six was the six again.
Monday was the first time the Bulldogs had scored 20+ against Sydney opposition in 15 games, going back to March 2019.
Sharks have won 13 of their last 14 away games on a Sunday.
