Knights vs. Dolphins Predictions

The NRL continues with Round 18 action between the Knights vs. Dolphins on Sunday, July 5 at 4:05pm at McDonald Jones Stadium.

A close game is expected for the Knights vs. Dolphins, in what could be the most exciting game of the week.

Best Bet

Knights @ $1.96

Bet Now

The Dolphins’ backline has been gutted by State of Origin, and although the Knights are missing some key players, we expect them to win at home.

Winning form is with the Dolphins, who scored a win over the Warriors in the dying stages last week. That should give them confidence, but they’re not nearly as threatening without the likes of Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Selwyn Cobbo, and NSW debutant Jack Bostock.

Therefore, we have the Knights playing their best footy, which has seen them beat the Dragons and Tigers over the last two weeks. The opposition wasn’t strong, but they have been a solid team all season.

We expect Fletcher Sharpe and Dylan Lucas to run the show, and they could combine for a couple of tries. The $1.96 odds for a Knights win are a generous price for the home team.

Knights H2H, Fletcher Sharpe Anytime Try Scorer, Greg Marzhew Anytime Try Scorer, Over 50.5 @ $8.50

Sharpe has five tries from his last five games, and he often goes underrated in try scoring markets. Punters can take $2.03 for Sharpe to score, and he’s an excellent multi bet addition.

Greg Marzhew hasn’t scored in his last three games after starting the season on fire. However, we have him bouncing back to his devastating best against a Dolphins defence that could be susceptible on Sunday afternoon.

Tries come easily for the Knights and Dolphins, and it could be a back-and-forth contest. We’re including over 50.5 points in our NRL SGM predictions to boost payouts.

Best Value Bet

Fletcher Sharpe First Try Scorer @ $11.00

Bet Now

Sharpe scored the first try against the Dragons, and he could start this game with a try.

He’s a versatile player with representative football on the horizon and we have him scoring an early try against the Dolphins.

He goes hunting for the ball, and the $11 odds to score first are worth including in NRL picks as a value bet. We priced him at $8.50, so it’s a better price than expected.
