Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm Preview
Stunned that Melbourne are outsiders here even though they are missing starting halves Cameron Munster and Jahrome Hughes. The Storm held Penrith scoreless and come off a thrilling win over Top 4 team New Zealand. The Knights have been very poor in their two losses. The Storm are likely to rely on their defence to get the job done here and as an elite
defensive side, they can contain a slow-moving Knights team. The Storm have won 11 of 12 against the Knights and are a bet as an underdog though the top play is betting Newcastle to be contained.
Ryan Papenhuyzen has 48 tries in 56 starts and comes off a double against the Warriors. Will Warbrick has 18 tries in 28 NRL matches.
