Melbourne Storm vs Newcastle Knights Preview
Betting suggests one of the more one sides matches of the round will be contested between the Storm and the Knights, and it really isn’t difficult to see why.
They were somewhat slow from the blocks, but the Melbourne Storm have once again proven why they have been dominant for the best part of two decades, and they are once again favourites to hoist the Provan-Summons come season’s end – will somebody please change the record?
The Knights are another club who have ultimately been let down by zero consistency, but they did win two in a row before have the luxury of last week off.
Regardless, this is a huge step up in class and the Storm should be winning comfortably.
