Newcastle Knights vs Wests Tigers Preview
The Knights have done extremely well to open the season 2-0 considering the long list of injuries head coach Adam O’Brien has had to overcome.
Fortunately, Newcastle has a very winnable game up next against the hapless Tigers with star five-eighth Kurt Mann also set to return to the side.
You could argue Wests have received the short end of the stick with games against the Raiders, Roosters, and now the Knights.
So far the Tigers have looked like the ill-disciplined, sloppy team we came to know towards the back end of last year, which has also forced Michael Maguire to drop Joey Leilua from the team this week.
While the Knights should win this game easily, you’ll need to get creative to find some value in the market.
Fortunately, Newcastle’s last seven games have all gone over the total points number, not to mention the fact the last five contests between these two sides have also achieved a similar result.
