NRL Tips - Tigers v Knights

The Tigers and Knights are both surprisingly in the Top 4 and both see this as an early opportunity to see this as a chance to lay legitimacy to their finals claims.

Round 6 wraps up with a fascinating clash between two of the surprise packets of 2026, the Wests Tigers and Newcastle Knights.

Both teams who missed the Top 8 last year have dropped just a game each. The Tigers come off a reaffirming win over the Eels when digging deep to run Parramatta down. Newcastle have blown all away except the Warriors when Fletcher Sharpe was a late out.

It is surprising to see Newcastle such a big outsider here.

The Knights have won seven of their last eight against the Tigers including winning the last two at Campbelltown.

Newcastle are 28-13 ATS in day games including a 15-8 cover record in road day games while they are 22-14 ATS off a win.

The Tigers have covered just three of 12 when favoured.

Newcastle are an excellent bet.

Dominic Young has eight tries this year and now has 81 tries in 97 games, a fantastic return.

Fletcher Sharpe has elite speed and wonderful instincts and it has resulted in 23 tries in 28 games.

Faaletino Tavana has looked very good in two games with a try in each of them.

Phoenix Crossland is anything but a reliable tryscorer with just 11 tries in 112 games. He has one this year and has only scored multiple tries in a season once but he is playing a much tougher role this season and backing up in particular makes him a nice bet this week.
