Dolphins vs Newcastle Knights Preview
The market may be overreacting to Newcastle’s loss of Kalyn Ponga. Surprisingly, data shows that the Knights’ scoring actually improves when Ponga is absent, and their cover percentage goes up significantly. Despite an impressive performance from the Dolphins, this is the shortest odds they’ve faced, and they’re coming off a draining away game. History also suggests that the Dolphins struggle to cover at Suncorp, while the Knights have a strong track record interstate. Keep an eye on debutant David Armstrong, who has a prolific try-scoring record in the NSW Cup, and Sunia Turuva, who has been in fine form this season.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Dolphins to win at $1.42 odds.
