Knights vs. Dragons Predictions

The NRL continues with Round 16 action between the Knights vs. Dragons on Friday, June 19 at 8:00 pm at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Kicking off the week is the Knights vs. Dragons, where most of the early money has come for the Knights to prevail.

Best Bet

Knights –12.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Knights have been playing excellent footy, and although they lost their last match to Melbourne, it was a thrilling 32-30 contest.

That followed a string of wins, including victories against Souths, Gold Coast, and Parramatta. It’s much better form than what the Dragons have produced, and despite being Brisbane in Round 13, they didn’t show much against the Sharks.

The Knights and Dragons played in Round 10, where the Knights won 44-10. That was a big victory for Newcastle, which is why the line is –12.5. They should have too many attacking weapons for the Dragons to handle, and the line could be covered by halftime.

Take the Knights –12.5 before money comes for them throughout the week.

Same Game Multi

Knights –12.5, Greg Marzhew Anytime Try Scorer, Fletcher Sharpe Anytime Try Scorer, Under 49.5 @ $8.50

Bet Now

The odds are short for Greg Marzhew to score at $1.47, but he’s likely to score against a tired Dragons’ defence. He has 10 tries in his last five games, and after not scoring against the Storm, he should bounce back in fine style.

Punters get value odds for Fletcher Sharpe to score at $2.35. He has three tries from his last three games, and he often goes under the radar in try-scoring markets. Include him in NRL SGM bets to boost payouts.

We have the Dragons scoring under 12 points, which should be enough to cash the under. Our final score prediction has the Knights winning 36-10.

Best Value Bet

Fletcher Sharpe 2+ Tries @ $7.00

Bet Now

Sharpe is a confident player, and he puts himself into the attack every chance he gets.

He scored a double against Gold Coast, and with the Dragons defence unlikely to show much aggression, he should have many scoring opportunities.

Punters get $7 for Sharpe to score a double, and those odds are better than expected. He has a knack for finding the try line, so include him in NRL picks this week as a value bet.
