Failing to score a point against the Bulldogs will have put a dent in the Knights morale but they get a chance to bounce back when they take on the Tigers. The Tigers ran out of puff against the Broncos who went on a surge at one stage scoring 38 points in a stretch of less than 40 minutes.

We have already touched on the Knights failure to score a single point last week but it is an area of their game which they have struggled with for a while. They have scored more than 20 points in only 1 of their last 6 games dating back to last season and this year have averaged a very low 10.5ppg in 2025.
The Under has held on in all four Knights games played this season and the same applies to 7 of previous 9 home games. There has been an average of 40.4 total match points across those matches and they have held their last four opponents at McDonald Jones Stadium to 18 or fewer points.
This is the second meeting between them this season with the first battle ending 10-8 in the Knights favour in what was a genuine defensive tussle.
Same Game Multi
The Knights have enjoyed extended success in this matchup with wins in each of the last 7 clashes. They have won 4 of the last 5 clashes at this ground and have successfully covered the line in 6 of the last 9 battles as a home favourite.
Kalyn Ponga has had a quiet start to the year but will likely come into his own here as he has scored at least once try in 4 of the Knights last 5 when hosting the Tigers.
For the visitors, Turuva has made a successful transition from the Panthers with 6 tries already this season and all of them have come in the Tigers three away games played.
Value Bet
Turuva has scored the opening try 4 times dating back to the start of last season and making the move across to the Tigers hasn’t slowed him down. Of his 6 tries scored this season, three of them have been inside the first 30 minutes of play. Moreover, the Knights have been slow starters and have scored the first try just once in four attempts in 2025. The Knights may get the chocolates but they’ll have o come from behind to do so.
