Sea Eagles vs Knights Preview by Dean McHugh

The final game of the weekend comes from 4 Pines Park as the Sea Eagles host the Knights. These two are only separated by a point in the standings and this has the makings to be the tie of the round. Manly have alternated wins and losses in their last six and they will be hoping that run ends here having edged out the Cowboys in extra time last week.

Newcastle have won their last two after picking up back to back wins against the Eels and the Raiders in recent weeks. The last time they won back to back games, it started a four game win streak, so they definitely appear to be a team that tends to play off confidence and momentum.  

I think this one could be closer than the bookmakers think, and because of that, I’m going to steer clear of trying to pick a winner. Instead, I’m going to opt for Jason Saab to trouble the scoreboard once again. He’s scored five tries in his last four, including a stunning hat-trick last time out. He also scored against the Knights the last time the two teams met.

Bet – Jason Saab to score a try

Bet of the Week – Sharks to beat the Tigers Moneyline

Value of the Week – Blaize Talagi to score a try (Titans/Eels)
