Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm Preview

Surprisingly, Melbourne are underdogs despite missing key halves Cameron Munster and Jahrome Hughes.

The Storm’s solid defensive performance against Penrith and a thrilling win over New Zealand showcases their resilience.

In contrast, the Knights have struggled in their two losses.

Melbourne’s defensive prowess is likely to be their main asset against a slow-moving Knights team.

With an impressive track record of 11 wins in 12 matchups against the Knights, the Storm present a compelling bet as underdogs.

However, the safer bet might be to wager on Newcastle’s containment.

Ryan Papenhuyzen’s try-scoring record of 48 tries in 56 starts adds to Melbourne’s attacking threat.

Meanwhile, Will Warbrick’s 18 tries in 28 NRL matches highlight his potency for the Knights.
