The finals are fast approaching, and so NRL tipsters everywhere need more help than ever to pick a winner or eight. So here are our bold NRL Round 24 Tips and Stats Preview that will concede as many points as the Tigers.
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.
After a record breaking weekend for points, this week we have based them on points against for 2022. More on that later.
So for now enjoy the 2022 NRL Round 24 Tips Stats Preview + Alternative Tips where there’s something for everyone. Mostly.

2022 NRL Round 24 Tips – Alternative Tips – Most Points Conceded
Short on inspiration already? Or looking for that edge to your tipping that no one else in your competition has? Well here are the Alternative NRL Tips for this round.
It’s been a long season and we had started to run out of ideas for an alternative tip. But the floggings from NRL Round 23 has given us an idea.
We took found the highest amount of points each team conceded in a single game this season, and whichever team has the lesser max points conceded total gets this week’s tip.
E.g. the biggest score Tigers conceded this season was 72 and their opponent this weekend is the Dragons whose highest points conceded this season is 54. So Dragons would get the tip. And so on.
