The 11th and final round of the NRLW 2026 regular season has arrived, and there's plenty still on the line. 

While the Roosters have all but sewn up the minor premiership (unless they lose and there is over a 100-point swing between them and the Titans) with a perfect 10-0 record, the battle for finals positioning and pride still runs deep through the rest of the competition. 

Only one team outside the top six can break into the finals picture and that’s the Warriors, but they need to win and have other results go their way.

That being said, there’s still jostling for positions within the six to be had, positions that carry home ground ramifications, which could be the difference between winning and losing in the opening week of the finals. 

There’s also some expert NRLW tips and predictions to be wheeled out too. So, let’s get to it. For the latest analysis, news and betting tips for all of this weekend’s action, check out our NRLW Round 11 tips and predictions below. 

Sydney Roosters Women vs Canterbury Bulldogs Women Prediction 

Thursday, September 10, 7:45pm AEST – Allianz Stadium 

The Roosters enter NRLW Round 11 undefeated with a perfect 10-0 record and, frankly, they've been a different class to the rest of the competition. 

The likes of Isabelle Kelly, Tarryn Aiken, Jess Sergis, Keeley Nizza, Olivia Kernick, and Millie Elliott have all been in red-hot form and they're not showing any signs of slowing down.

The one concern? Halfback Jayme Fressard is out with a hand injury, which will test the Roosters' playmaking depth. It's a notable absence but unlikely to derail a side this dominant.

The Bulldogs sit ninth on six points and cannot make the finals regardless of what happens here. They've shown fight in patches this season but haven't put together the consistency needed to trouble the top sides and if the H2H odds are anything to go by, they have little to no hope of causing the upset of the season here.

Wests Tigers Women vs Canberra Raiders Women Prediction

Friday, September 11, 5:40pm AEST – Leichhardt Oval

Friday’s NRLW Round 11 action consists of a 4th vs 6th clash with genuine finals consequences, particularly for the Raiders, who need a win to secure the first-ever NRLW finals berth in the club's history.

The Tigers go into this one badly hampered. Faythe Manera (suspected ACL), Kezia Apps (knee), Caitlin Turnbull (foot), and Shenae Lendill (arm) are all unavailable. 

To make matters worse, they copped a 58-0 hiding at the hands of the Titans last week. That's the kind of result that follows a team into the dressing room.

The Raiders, meanwhile, are motivated and building. Grace Kemp has been excellent, and this group knows exactly what's at stake. There is, however, a significant judiciary subplot.

Simaima Taufa is disputing a Grade 2 charge, with Charlotte Basham also facing a potential suspension or fine. The outcomes of those hearings could shape the Raiders' available squad.

All in all, however, we’re backing the Raiders here. The Tigers' injury toll is crippling, and their confidence will be at an all-time low after last week, while the Raiders have every reason to show up with history on the line.

Parramatta Eels Women vs North Queensland Cowboys Women Prediction

Saturday, September 12, 12:00pm AEST – CommBank Stadium

Saturday starts with a dead rubber as neither of these teams are in finals contention. Still, there’s plenty of pride to play for here and both the Eels and the Cowboys will be looking to close out the season strongly.

For Parramatta, keep an eye on the status of Martha Mataele, who is listed as a head-knock doubt after last week. Her availability could influence how the Eels structure their attack.

The Cowboys head into this match without Tafao Asaua, who is suspended for NRLW Round 11. Losing a key forward is never ideal, but the Cowboys have shown enough resilience this year to remain competitive.

That being said, we’re tipping the Eels at home. CommBank Stadium gives Parramatta a genuine edge, and the Cowboys' forward pack loses potency without Asaua.

Betting tip: Parramatta Eels Women. 

Cronulla Sharks Women vs St George Illawarra Dragons Women Prediction

Saturday, September 12, 1:45pm AEST – Ocean Protect Stadium

With both teams sitting on four points, occupying the bottom two spots on the ladder and well outside the finals picture, this one has end-of-season energy written all over it. That said, local pride and the Shire derby feel make this a match worth watching.

Neither the Sharks nor the Dragons have provided much of anything this season for us to tip either of them confidently. 

It’s times like this where we turn to home ground advantage and the H2H odds, both of which favour the Sharks. 

Betting tip: Cronulla Sharks Women. 

Brisbane Broncos Women vs New Zealand Warriors Women Prediction

Sunday, September 13, 12:00pm AEST – Totally Workwear Stadium

The Broncos host the Warriors in a must-win match for the Wahs if they want any hope of playing finals footy. 

Brisbane are guaranteed a top four spot regardless of what happens here and have been reliable this season despite being not as dominant as the Roosters or Titans who sit above them in the standings. 

The Warriors, on the other hand, have lost four straight and are running out of road. Ivana Lauitiiti's suspension for the remainder of the regular season is a significant blow to their forward structure. 

With a record 4-6, they need to win but doing so against the Broncos at home looks like a tall order.

Betting tip: Brisbane Broncos Women.

Newcastle Knights Women vs Gold Coast Titans Women Prediction

Sunday, September 13, 1:45pm AEST – McDonald Jones Stadium

The final game of NRLW Round 11 and the entire NRLW regular season sees the Titans travel to the Hunter Valley to face the Knights. 

The Gold Coast go into this one as the second-best team in the competition, sitting on 18 points and having won nine of their first ten games. 

However, NRLW Round 11 brings a notable challenge as Teagan Levi is ruled out with a facial fracture and head knock, while Phoenix-Raine Hippi is also listed as a doubt due to illness.

Even without those two, the Titans have genuine depth. Lily Kolc and Evania Isa'ako are ready to step up, and Gold Coast have proven throughout this season that they're not reliant on any one player to win games.

The Knights have been solid without being amazing this year and enter the final round sitting fifth. 

For the Novocastrians Charley Lahmert has been a genuine breakout star in 2026, and Tayla Predebon was outstanding last week bagging a hat-trick. With a home crowd behind them, Newcastle will be up for this.

Overall though, we like the Titans to win, but don't sleep on the Knights. Newcastle have enough quality to keep this close, and Levi's absence tightens the gap. Titans by a margin of 10 or fewer could be the value play.

Betting tip: Gold Coast Titans Women.
