The Perth double-header kicks off with a compelling affair between the Dolphins and the Knights with both teams needing to win to keep their slim finals hopes alive.
Best Bet
It is stunning the Dolphins have been so disregarded in this clash with the Knights.
Newcastle have been in very good form with four straight wins but it is hard to make a case for them being so heavily favoured away from home.
The Knights have covered just 10 of 25 interstate and in their six matches when a favourite interstate since the start of 2020, they have failed to cover all of them. Newcastle have covered just six of 17 when favoured by more than a converted try and just six of 15 off a win of 13-plus.
The Dolphins did absolutely thrash the Knights earlier in the season, a 6-20 victory in the Hunter.
They are also 6-3 against the spread when an underdog of at least eight points.
The Dolphins plus is a high confidence play.
Same Game Multi
Greg Marzhew has 14 tries in 15 games this year and has crossed in his last four matches.
Jamayne Isaako has eight tries in his last nine games and has 16 for the year.
Value Bet
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has been in elite tryscoring form this season with 15 tries in his 16 appearances. He scored against the Knights in Round 3 and he has four doubles to his name. In what should be an open game, Tabuai-Fidow looks a quality bet to find the line on multiple occasions.
