Canterbury Bulldogs VS Newcastle Knights NRL Preview
With a number of rounds still remaining, the Bulldogs will not have written off hopes of sneaking into the NRL Final Series at the end of the regular season. A win against basement team Newcastle Knights could give them the confidence to make a run towards the play-offs. For the Knights, it is essential that they don’t finish at the bottom of the table for the third successive season and have the teams above them in their sights.
Key Players to Watch
The Bulldogs will be looking towards Moses Mbye to catapult them into NRL Final Series competition and he will be looking to add to his tally of nine tries against Newcastle. He is the consistent force in the Canterbury side and one to look out for. In what has been another disappointing campaign for the Knights, Trent Hodkinson’s consistency with the boot has been the shining light for the club and he’ll be looking to cause a shock win for his club.
Teams Recent Form
The Knights have lost their last five games in a row and last time out, they lost comfortably to their nearest rivals, the West Tigers. Confidence will be low with their last win coming back in May against Canberra. The Bulldogs have lost their last two games and will want to pile the misery onto the Knights with a much needed win. Their last match was an agonizing 13-12 loss to the Eels and they will be hoping to rectify that today.
Canterbury Bulldogs VS Newcastle Knights Head-to-Head
Canterbury have dominated their last four meetings and have won 6 of their last 10 meetings and will want to continue that record. Earlier in the season, they came out on top 22-12 over the Knights and need that win to remain in competition for the end of season play-offs.
Outright Odds
- Canterbury Bulldogs to win at 1.40
- Newcastle Knights to win at 3.25
