Here are the 6 NRL player props our model likes most for August 23, 2026 — every one is our own number against the bookmaker's price, with the reasoning in plain English.
On Sunday 23 August 2026,
Sydney Roosters host
Wests Tigers in the NRL. The bet we are looking at is
Fonua Pole Anytime Try Scorer. This wins if Fonua Pole scores a try at any point in the game. It was priced at +1500 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $160 if it lands.
