Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm Odds
Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm Preview
The Storm will (almost certainly) record another dominant win over the Knights in Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.
Many people thought that this would be the year that the Storm finally begin the regress, but seemingly, they have only gotten better.
Last week’s 70-10 win over the Warriors was truly breath-taking, and it was just the next in a long line of dominant performances.
The Knights were buoyed by the midweek confirmation that star fullback and captain Kalyn Ponga has re-signed for another five seasons, but it seemingly did nothing for their confidence, and they were destroyed by the Eels on Sunday.
I can’t imagine a scenario where the Knights can turn it around enough to beat a stronger opponent in the Storm.
