Gold Coast Titans vs Newcastle Knights Preview
Gold Coast has undergone a remarkable transformation lately, securing wins over the Warriors and Cowboys following a dismal 0-6 start. However, injuries to key players like Kieran Foran and AJ Brimson pose challenges for the Titans.
Chris Randall and Sam Verrills step up as a new halves pairing, supported by changes in the backline and bench. Meanwhile, Newcastle, without star Kalyn Ponga, has clinched victories over the Dolphins, Warriors, and Tigers.
Bradman Best and stand-in fullback David Armstrong have been standout performers. With Jacob Saifiti’s return fortifying their lineup, the Knights aim for a fourth consecutive win.
In recent matchups, the Knights hold the upper hand, including a commanding victory over the Titans in 2023. Despite Gold Coast’s recent form, Newcastle’s stability and depth may see them extend their winning streak.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Newcastle Knights to win at $1.50 odds.
