I am not a sports analyst. I don’t have insider knowledge of team sheet dynamics, injury recovery timelines, or the subtle psychological impact of playing a Thursday night game in Canberra in July. What I do have is Claude, a Python environment, and a dangerous amount of free time. The result is nrl-predictor.ohare.id.au — an AI-powered NRL match predictor that publishes its picks every week and, crucially, publishes its accuracy record even when it’s wrong.

I have a URL Shortener available at https://short.ohare.id.au/. Note that the database backing this service may be removed at any time, so any shortened URLs should be considered temporary.
