2GB has published its Footy Tipping feature for Round 12, giving readers a fresh set of presenter picks as the NRL season gets back underway. For fans following the Raiders and the wider competition, it is another sign that the weekly tipping conversation is back in full swing.
The piece is built as an invitation rather than a match report. Readers are asked to test their tipping skills against 2GB’s NRL experts and presenters, with The Continuous Call Team folded into the coverage as part of the station’s regular football offering.
That makes the appeal clear: this is not about what happened on the field, but about how the season is being consumed now that Round 12 is here. Tipping features usually live or die on the names attached to them, yet the version published by 2GB does not name which presenters made the calls or which teams they backed, leaving the main attraction in the format itself rather than the picks.
For readers looking for a deeper Raiders angle, the timing matters more than the details. The club’s wider news cycle has been busy this year, from Kirk Cousins taking first-team reps as the Raiders sort quarterback race to Max Crosby dropping new song “Double R” as the Raiders offseason keeps shifting, while Ricky Stuart has also been in the frame after blasting confusion following the Raiders’ 30-22 loss to the Dolphins. Against that backdrop, a Round 12 tipping piece keeps the conversation moving, even if it stops short of giving supporters the full list of selections they may have come for.
What happens next is simple enough. Round 12 will play out, the tips will either hold up or fall apart, and 2GB’s audience will get another chance to judge how well its NRL voices read the week ahead. For now, the unanswered question is the one the feature leaves open: which presenters backed which sides.
