The Knights and Rabbitohs are in very different veins of form with Newcastle losing three on end and conceding 42, 38 and 44 points in those three. Souths have scored 30-plus in four straight, winning three of those.

The news is not all dire for the Knights though with a host of big-names returning. Kalyn Ponga, Bradman Best, Tyson Frizzell and Dylan Lucas all return for Newcastle, something that will certainly tighten up the Knights defence.

The under has hit in seven of the last 11 clashes between the two teams.

The under is 31-23 when the Knights are an underdog.

Souths have a ton of under angles for this too. The under is 21-11 when Souths are off a win and 36-18 when they play in NSW.

This total looks too big.

Alex Johnston is the greatest tryscorer in NRL history and has not lost a step with nine tries this season.

Latrell Mitchell has 10 tries this season and is in career-best form.

Matt Dufty has been a revelation since returning to the NRL, running for a huge amount of yardage and scoring in each of his appearances.

Tallis Duncan comes off his first hat-trick in the NRL when dotting down three times against the Storm and the talented edge can carry that form over against a Knights team that has had its defensive issues. Duncan has 15 tries in 26 games when starting in the second row or centres.
