Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm Preview
The surging Storm are gunning for six straight wins as they hit the road to face a patchy Knights outfit. Melbourne have overcome Origin disruptions with aplomb, while Newcastle’s effort is never in doubt, but their makeshift spine minus Kalyn Ponga faces a mammoth task. Despite dropping their past two at this venue to the Knights, the Storm’s class and structure should win out.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Storm to win at $1.26 odds.
