North Queensland Cowboys vs Newcastle Knights Preview
The Cowboys take on the Knights in Townsville on Saturday night and somehow have opened favourites in head-to-head betting.
This isn’t the side that made a preliminary final in 2022.
They have been one-dimensional in attack, leaked like a sieve in defence, and have lacked anything of the killer spark they had last year.
Having suffered another forgettable defeat to the Warriors in Round 7, they sit second last on the ladder and will surely find every game this season an enormous test.
The Knights, meanwhile, have reversed their fortunes impressively, and they were unlucky not to record another win over reigning premiers Penrith, last week.
In my opinion, this is quite clearly the value of the week!
