Each week we offer up a quick preview glance for each match, a bunch of barely interesting stats, probably more than one could ever need or want.
We also offer up some alternative tips. These alternative tips are often based on a rugby league stat, and sometimes something completely absurd, and are aimed at those NRL tipsters who just can’t be bothered.
For the final weekend of the year we have based the alternative tips on each team’s final round record.
So for now enjoy the 2022 NRL Round 25 Tips Stats Preview + Alternative Tips where there’s something for everyone. Mostly.
