St George Illawarra are hard to cop when favoured ensuring Newcastle are plenty of value here.
Best Bet
Newcastle +2.5 ($1.90)
St George Illawarra have a very good recent record against Newcastle but even at home it is surprising that the Dragons are favoured.
Anthony Griffin is persisting with his absurd team selections including playing Moses Mbye at fullback and Jack Bird at five-eighth.
Newcastle received some positive news on Tuesday when Adam Clune was named at halfback after being expected to miss through injury.
The Knights have covered 16 of 25 off a double digit loss and 10 of 13 off a loss of 24. The Dragons have covered just 5 of 13 at Wollongong. Newcastle are value and plenty of it.
Same Game Multi
Newcastle 1-12/Enari Tuala ($5.75)
The Knights look a strong play to roll the Dragons as outsiders but on the road it is unlikely to be a runaway victory.
Enari Tuala has 26 tries in 50 games since joining the Knights and has two tries in two games against the Dragons since moving to Newcastle.
Value Bet
Dane Gagai Anytime Try ($3.10)
Dane Gagai has been outstanding since joining the Knights. He has scored in both Newcastle’s wins this season and his strike rate the last four seasons has been very good with 33 tries in 72 games.
