Newcastle Knights take on Cronulla Sharks at Ocean Protect Stadium this Friday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
For the third time this year, Cronulla nailed their approach to pile on 50+ points in an attacking clinic. Their power forward model was allowed to play front-foot footy while Braydon Trindall (three assists) and Nicho Hynes (two tries, three assists) responded to cues in an exhausted defensive line.
Newcastle are unlikely to offer up as many looks here but even if they do, this Knights attack is one of the few that can go with Cronulla in a shoot-out.
It’s the Sharks with all the momentum right now and the loss of Jacob Saifiti is a crucial one for the Knights, as we saw last week.
Prediction: Sharks 1-12 @ $2.85
Anytime Tryscorer: Ronaldo Mulitalo @ $1.75
