We’re officially into the final two months of the regular season and it’s all still to play for, particularly when it comes to the top eight.

The log jam from 12th to 7th is only four points wide, so the margin for error from here on out is razor thin. 

That means every player who runs out for their respective clubs will need to be on their absolute A-game, but just who will be running out in Round 21? Our NRL Predicted Teams are here to attempt to answer this question.

So, whether you’re looking to update your fantasy team, craft a multi, or preparing for your work tipping comp, a bit of inside info on potential personnel never goes astray.

In the hopes of providing a sneak peek to punters, we’ve put together a predicted lineup for all 16 teams featuring this week. Check out our NRL Round 21 predicted teams below.
