Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm Preview
This looks like it might be one of the more one-sided games of the round with the in form Melbourne Storm taking on the out of form Newcastle Knights.
The Knights have lost their last 5 games including a 37 point loss the the Eels last round.
Melbourne on the other hand put up 70 points against the Warriors last week and look unstoppable right now.
The Knights have opened up at $7.00 for this game, I can see them starting this game at double figures. Melbourne should put them away effortlessly.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Melbourne Storm to win at $1.07 odds.
