Here are the 6 NRL player props our model likes most for August 27, 2026 — every one is our own number against the bookmaker's price, with the reasoning in plain English.
On Friday 28 August 2026,
Manly Warringah Sea Eagles host
St George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL. The bet we are looking at is
Corey Waddell Anytime Try Scorer. This wins if Corey Waddell scores a try at any point in the game. It was priced at +900 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $100 if it lands. That price was showing at PointsBet. Our model has this one as a long shot, so keep the bet small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move. On Saturday 29 August 2026,
