Been too distracted by State of Origin selections? 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 Round 12 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 Round 12 Ratings
Here are the latest H2H ratings and winners for the big weekend of NRL action ahead.
2026 NRL Round 12 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.
THURSDAY 7:50PM – CANBERRA v DOLPHINS
Final Word: Should be a good way to open up the weekend, with the Dolphins starting to show glimpses of their best. Both teams are Origin affected with key outs, but the silver lining is that Trai Fuller gets a crack at fullback.
FRIDAY 8PM – BULLDOGS v MELBOURNE
Final Word: This looks a shocker on paper with barely a win between them in months. Along with key players and entertainers being out for Origin.
SATURDAY 5:30PM – ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA v WARRIORS
Final Word: Hopefully the Warriors aren’t getting too carried away with last weekend’s big Magic Round win over the Broncos. St George Illawarra weren’t disgraced last weekend and will surely win soon. Just not this weekend you presume.
SATURDAY 7:30PM – MANLY v GOLD COAST
Final Word: You would imagine that since Penrith have been the only team to beat the new Fozball revolution at Manly that the Gold Coast won’t get close. Especially given Manly’s good recent record v Qld teams. But the Gold Coast aren’t too bad at Brookvale v Manly.
SUNDAY 4PM – NORTH QLD v SOUTH SYDNEY
Final Word: You can imagine that the Rabbitohs will be giving that extra little bit of effort after Jai Arrow’s dreadful MND news on Wednesday. It should be an entertaining one in general despite some Origin and Injury absences.
