Best Bet
Both Penrith and Newcastle have been significantly impacted by Origin and it is expected to harm both attacks, making the under a quality bet in this one.
The Panthers have five players on Origin duty including halfback Nathan Cleary, fullback Dylan Edwards and key link man Isaah Yeo, a long with Brian To’o and Liam Martin. The Knights are much better off than the Panthers but Kalyn Ponga is their only genuine creator.
These two have a long history of low-scoring games with eight of the last 11 going under the total including the last four.
The Knights are a huge under team. They have gone under in 11 of 13 while the under has hit in their last five away from Newcastle.
In Bathurst games, the under hits at 63.6%.
With plenty of rain around the Central West, the under is a super bet.
Same Game Multi
Paul Alamoti has 14 tries in 26 games since joining the Panthers.
Fletcher Sharpe is a dynamic player who has 18 tries in 22 games and is the most likely Knight to score this season.
Value Bet
This is as close to a home game as Blayney native Liam Henry will have and we should see a big game from Henry with the forward sure to see an increase in minutes. He has just three tries in his NRL career but he looks big value this week.
