The Model

A statistical rugby-league model — NRL, NRLW and State of Origin: try-scorer, goal-kicking and player-points projections, plus NRL & NRLW match markets (head-to-head, line, total) priced to surface value. Educational — not betting advice.

Note: match totals carry little predictable signal in both comps (the model barely beats the league-average total), so over/under prices sit near even money by design. Head-to-head and line are the stronger markets.
