Rugby League powers into another month, and if you’re struggling with your weekly tips may we suggest our Alternative NRL Round 9 Tips.
With your weekly NRL tipping, instead of allowing the competition admin to give you the away teams for when you don’t care about who you tip, why not take on board our weekly Alternative NRL Tipping method instead.
Each week we have a new theme, and occasionally it will have nothing to do with rugby league. Just the way we like it. This week is about the H2H records of each team who they are playing against in honour of the NRL’s most lop sided game kicking off the weekend. Interestingly two other teams are also playing the team they beat the most this weekend too – Bulldogs and Titans.
In addition to the tips are a whole bunch of barely interesting stats for the round of NRL ahead. Impress your neighbours and fellow passengers by stealing them and sharing.
Good luck with your Alternative NRL Round 9 Tips if you choose to use them.

NRL Round 9 Tips Alternative – Gurgler v H2H Records
So here are this week’s alternative tips. The method to how it works is below.
METHOD TO THE MADNESS
This one is simple. We have every games since 1998, and for this week take the H2H between the tips and hand out the tip to the team with the best overall H2H. Mainly because they are statistically more likely to win.
As above this is in honour of the Souths-Melbourne game where the Storm have the NRL’s best H2H record of 85%. The Titans are also playing their bunny, not Souths but the Tigers who top their H2H record. Same for Bulldogs v Dragons too. Interestingly, the Storm’s worst H2H record is against the Bulldogs.
The best H2H records in below in our extra section.
