South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Newcastle Knights Preview
Newcastle has been dominant as a road favorite, winning nine straight, and they look poised to extend that streak to 10 against a depleted South Sydney side. The Rabbitohs, already struggling, have now lost Cody Walker to injury, leaving them to rely on the out-of-form Jack Wighton and Dean Hawkins, who has only won two of his 10 NRL starts.
While Souths have historically had the upper hand against the Knights, the tide may be turning. Newcastle convincingly won 29-10 in their last encounter, and they’ve covered nine of their last 11 on the road and nine of 11 off a loss.
The money backing Newcastle is justified. Dylan Lucas has been in good form with two tries in his last three games at center, while Jye Gray’s electric speed has netted him five tries in his last seven games. The Knights are the clear pick in this matchup.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Newcastle Knights to win at $1.46 odds.
