NRL Round 11 Ratings & Final Word (2026)

Been too distracted by Magic Round hype? Do you need some last-minute NRL tipping advice? Or simply want something else to blame when the tips go wrong? Either way, The Gurgler’s 2026 NRL Magic Round 11 Ratings and more is here to deliver a little help.

In addition to our huge stable of NRL stats and tipping gear, we have used all the stats we have, smashed them against each other like atoms, and come up with a H2H rating as dangerous to the outside world as Chernobyl.

We include lots of things, and add to it as the season progresses, come up with a magic number for each team, then slice up the scores out of 100% between the two sides. The bigger the percentage, the more likely to win.

This week we added the split to whether the side is winning through stats (historic H2H, day, ground record) or form (2026 form split into various ways).

2026 NRL Magic Round Ratings

Here are the latest H2H ratings and winners for the big weekend of NRL action ahead. 

2026 NRL Magic Round 11 Form v Stats Summary

Now we go through every game with a bunch of visuals splitting the recent form of both teams, with some H2H stats thrown.

FRIDAY 6PM – CRONULLA v BULLDOGS

Final Word: Cronulla to bounce back and have a good record v Bulldogs. Bulldogs Suncorp Stadium, Friday form, general form is poor.

FRIDAY 8:05PM – SOUTH SYDNEY v DOLPHINS

Final Word: Anything could happen, and it probably will.

SATURDAY 3PM – WESTS TIGERS v MANLY

Final Word: The Fozball revolution continues, and they have a sneaky stat advantage in Qld on a Saturday. Tigers might be smarting after two heavy losses and their Saturday away form doesn’t help.

SATURDAY 5:30PM – ROOSTERS v NORTH QUEENSLAND

Final Word: Roosters going too good and have great stats v Cowboys, on Saturdays and in Qld.

SATURDAY 7:45PM – PARRAMATTA v MELBOURNE

Final Word: Melbourne are surely back now they have broken their longest ever losing streak. Their recent H2H advantage over Parramatta helps, as does their record at Suncorp Stadium over the years.

SUNDAY 2PM – GOLD COAST v NEWCASTLE

Final Word: Gold Coast will try hard, but Newcastle are in form and have an Origin-seeking Kalyn Ponga.

SUNDAY 4:05PM – WARRIORS v BRISBANE

Final Word: Have the Broncos hit a wall with all their injuries and suspensions? Wahs are hot and cold at Suncorp Stadium, and this looks a genuine 50-50.

SUNDAY 6:25PM – PENRITH v ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA

Final Word: It hardly gets more one-sided.
