Been too distracted by State of Origin? 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 13 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 13 Ratings
Here are the latest H2H ratings and winners for the big weekend of NRL action ahead.
2026 NRL Round 13 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 8PM – CRONULLA v MANLY
Final Word: Can the Fozball revolution continue? Cronulla have a good recent record v Manly and a great record at home on a Friday.
SATURDAY 3PM – NEWCASTLE v PARRAMATTA
Final Word: Historic stats are all over the place with this game, so may as well go for the team in form.
SATURDAY 5:30PM – WESTS TIGERS v BULLDOGS
Final Word: At least the Bulldogs got back to winning ways last weekend and broke a run of five straight losses. The Wests Tigers are heading that way themselves but are coming off the bye.
SATURDAY 7:30PM – MELBOURNE v ROOSTERS
Final Word: Roosters have a poor record v Melbourne and did lose their most recent game. But the lack of form for the Storm is hard to overlook. If they can’t beat a Bulldogs team on a big losing streak how can they beat the Roosters?
SUNDAY 2PM – BRISBANE v ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA
Final Word: Payne Haas is back to turn the Broncos fortunes around. They need it, as were not great before the bye. The Dragons haven’t been great all season but do a decent recent record v Broncos. This might be closer than folks think.
SUNDAY 4PM – CANBERRA v NORTH QLD
Final Word: A combination of Canberra’s recent terrible run at home and North Queensland quietly compiling a very good season leans one towards an away win. But we do wonder if the NSW Blues players in the Raiders team will still be on a high and bring something for their club.
SUNDAY 6:15PM – PENRITH v WARRIORS
Final Word: A strange time and place for a top of the table clash, and everything points to a Penrith win. But it’s hard to overlook the Wahs recent form too. Hopefully a classic to end the weekend.
