NRL Round 10 Game Ratings
SEN • May 8th, 2025 2:24 pm
Each week, the SEN League team goes through the slate of games across the NRL and rates each game out of 100. The higher the number, the better the game.
The rankings takes into account the teams playing, the watchability, time slot, star power and potential of being a quality fixture.
Take a look at our ratings below!
Parramatta Eels v The Dolphins
Thursday 7:50pm @ CommBankStadium
Rating: 76/100
Round 10 kicks off with a much-improved Parramatta side taking on a Dolphins outfit who are in the midst of a disappointing two-game losing streak.
The Eels began life under Jason Ryles poorly but ever since star playmaker Mitch Moses has returned, Parramatta have played with a new level of confidence and have been competitive in their last few matches.
This should be an intriguing contest and both sides would fancy their chances.
Newcastle Knights v Gold Coast Titans
Friday 6:00pm @ McDonald Jones Stadium
Rating: 70
The Knights returned to form last week against a South Sydney team who are ravaged by injuries.
You can only beat who is in front of you and Newcastle flexed their muscles and maybe played themselves into a bit of form.
Gold Coast has been in the headlines all week for the wrong reasons with the future of David Fifita and also coach Des Hasler coming into question. The Titans are riding a five-game losing streak and need a win to ease the pressure.
South Sydney Rabbitohs v Brisbane Broncos
Friday 8:00pm @ Accor Stadium
Rating: 66
The return of Jamie Humphreys and Latrell Mitchell is a welcome boost for South Sydney but without Cody Walker, Jack Wighton and Peter Mamouzelos, the Rabbitohs big underdogs against the Broncos.
Brisbane were humbled on their own turf last week but they travel to Accor Stadium where they have won only two of their past nine matches at the venue.
Canberra Raiders v Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
Saturday 3:00pm @ GIO Stadium
Rating: 92
The game of the year so far between first and second in the NRL.
The Bulldogs have been hot to start the year but the ladder leaders are without three important players in Josh Curran, Sitili Tupouniua and Jacob Preston. However, the Bulldogs welcome back Matt Burton from suspension.
The Raiders have been the surprise packet of 2025 and will look to continue their dream run at home. The only issue with this match is the time slot. A 3pm start on a Saturday afternoon is not befitting of a top of the table clash.
Should the NRL consider flexing games into better timeslots?
St George Illawarra Dragons v The Warriors
__Saturday 5:30pm @ WIN Stadium
Rating: 73
The Dragons biggest problem is their inconsistency which makes them a tipping nightmare. The Dragons have defeated the Melbourne Storm and Manly yet have surrendered leads to the Parramatta Eels and South Sydney Rabbitohs which resulted in defeats.
Outside of Las Vegas and their Round 6 trip to Melbourne, the Warriors have barely put a foot wrong. However, this poses as a banana peel game.
North Queensland Cowboys v Penrith Panthers
Saturday 7:35pm @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium
Rating: 81
The Cowboys jump started their year with a gutsy win away from home against the Panthers in Round 5. A heartbreaking loss in Magic Round means the Cowboys are 4-4. A win would put North Queensland back in the top eight which puts them in good position ahead of State of Origin.
Are Penrith back? The competition thought they had returned when they thumped the Roosters but then there was a poor setback against Manly. A strong win in Magic Round against the Broncos has everyone’s head spinning.
A lot of questions will be answered at the end of this fixture.
Melbourne Storm v Wests Tigers
Sunday 2:00pm @ AAMI Park
Rating: 82
The Wests Tigers’ last win against the Melbourne Storm was back in 2018 where Benji Marshall kicked the winning field goal. Marshall, now in the position of head coach, has the chance to record the Tigers’ sixth win of the season which would equal their tally from 2024.
The Melbourne Storm are simply not firing to their normal lofty standards and have suffered two shock losses in the last three weeks. Both of those losses came after they raced to early leads. Back at home, the Storm should take care of business but don’t discount a plucky Tigers side.
Manly Sea Eagles v Cronulla Sharks
Sunday 4:05pm @ 4 Pines Park
Rating: 88
A genuine 50/50 game to end the round and it’s against the two teams who have constantly threatened to take that next step from a good team to a genuine Premiership contender.
Fresh off the bye, Manly welcome plenty of big names including Jason Saab and Jake Trbojevic.
Manly are typically strong at home but Cronulla have won their past three matches at 4 Pines Park by an average of 20 points.
The Sharks are yet to find their groove in 2025 but there have been greenshoots. Nicho Hynes had his best game for some time against the Eels in Magic Round, Will Kennedy deservedly leads the Dally M medal count and Addin Fonua-Blake has been a welcome addition to the club.
