Sydney Roosters vs Newcastle Knights Preview
Betting suggests that one of the more one-sided games of the week will come up between two top eight sides, when the Roosters and Knights do battle on Saturday night.
The Roosters have suffered plenty of key injuries this season and they haven’t been quite as potent as they were in 2019, but it continues to be the case that their bottom line still better than the top line of many other clubs.
They are really beginning to hit form at the right point of the season again and above everything, they are far more trustworthy in betting than the Knights.
Newcastle bounced back from a truly putrid performance and loss to the Warriors with a comfortable win over the Sharks in Round 17.
While there were plenty of things to like about the performance, the Sharks happen to be the other side in the top eight that are completely untrustworthy, and it’s hard to know what we’ll get this week.
I think that the 17.5-point line is a little steep, so I am going to give the Knights a chance of finishing within it.
