Preview:
Plenty is expected of the Newcastle Knights this season after a number of lean years. Knights coach Nathan Brown has recruited heavily across a number of positions on the ground, but it is the output of his halves Kalyn Ponga and Mitchell Pearce that will dictate the clubs fortunes. The Sharks have had an off-season to forget, but welcome former Warrior Shaun Johnson at half back, with his flair sure to dazzle fans at Shark Park. The Wolf knows the Newcastle fans will be up and about for this one and in a coin flip game, the edge is with the home team.

Value Tip: First Try Scorer: Josh Dugan at $15.00
