Canberra Raiders vs Newcastle Knights Preview
Canberra are eyeing a rare ninth straight win and come into this clash with one of the most potent attacks in the competition. The Knights have shown plenty of grit in recent weeks but keep falling just short, most recently suffering a heartbreaking last-second loss to the Warriors. Missing Kalyn Ponga and several other key players, Newcastle will find it tough to match the Green Machine’s firepower in the nation’s capital.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Canberra Raiders to win at $1.20 odds.
