Preview:
This is a fascinating battle between two of the league’s most bipolar sides.
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s hard to know what to expect from the Bulldogs week in and week out. One week they upset the Cowboys, and the next they lose by eight-points to Manly in uninspiring fashion.
The same also goes for the Knights, who have now won two straight. Newcastle backed up their 14-point win over the Eels a fortnight ago to upset the Warriors in Christchurch, largely thanks to Kalyn Ponga’s brilliant second-half efforts.
The Dogs and Knights played only once last year in a game dominated by Canterbury’s forward line. It’s a trend that dates all the way back to 2013 – the last time Newcastle defeated the Bulldogs.
There’s plenty of value in this game, but you’d be wise to stick with the Dogs here. Dean Pay’s side is 6-3 as the line underdog over the last 12 months.
Tip: Newcastle Knights at $1.54
