The 2023 NRL Season rolls on, and so does our stat-filled preview of the upcoming weekend of rugby league with our 2023 NRL Round 12 Tips Stats Preview + Alternative Tips.
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.
This week with the term “Origin Bolter” being thrown around we have alternative tips based on each team’s form pre-Origin One.
2023 NRL Round 12 Tips – Alternative Tips – Pre-Origin Game One Win %
Short on inspiration? 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.
With the State of Origin coming up and guaranteed to ruin the NRL for a few months, we have this week’s alternative tips based on the interstate series.
We have a whole NRL Stats in Depth coming on Pre/Post Origin form coming soon, but for this week we’ll use the pre-State of Origin form. The higher the win % for games over the past 10 seasons (excluding 2020) the more likely that team will win this weekend. Simples.
Check the season results at the end. Look for the Pre/Post Origin form preview at the end too.
