Knights vs. Roosters Predictions

The NRL continues with Round 21 action between the Knights vs. Roosters on Friday, July 24 at 6:00pm at McDonald Jones Stadium.

One of the biggest games of the week is the Knights vs. Roosters, who look to bolster their chances of getting a good spot on the NRL ladder before the finals.

Knights @ $2.13

The Knights look to turn their form around after consecutive losses to Souths and Cronulla. They should have beaten the Sharks last week, but some misguided conversion attempts from Kalyn Ponga were the difference.

It’s all about defence for the Knights, who don’t need to score big totals to win. They defeated the Tigers with 12 points scored and the Dolphins with 13 points scored. If they can limit the Roosters to less than 20 points, they should get it done.

They need to play much better, particularly in the second half, than they did in their last meeting in April. They had a 24-12 halftime lead, but the Roosters put on 26 unanswered points in the second half to win at Allianz Stadium.

This game being played at McDonald Jones Stadium is a big help for the Knights, so we’re diving into the $2.13 odds. The Roosters are due for a loss, and this game should mean more to the Knights.

Same Game Multi

Knights H2H, Bradman Best Anytime Try Scorer, Dominic Young Anytime Try Scorer, Under 45.5 @ $8.40

Bradman Best doesn’t always score tries for the Knights, but he has recovered from a bruising State of Origin series, and he should be tough to stop on Friday. He is a good runner close to the line, and the Roosters’ defence could buckle under pressure.

A different threat for the Knights is Dominic Young, who is an aerial threat. He should be targeted throughout the game, and we fancy his odds of scoring a try. He has also improved in other areas of his game, which adds to our confidence, so include him in NRL SGM picks.

Under 45.5 points is a good multi bet pick. We’re relying on the Knights’ defence to step up, and our final score prediction has the Knights winning 24-16.

Best Value Bet

Knights 1-12 @ $3.20

Bet Now

It’s unlikely the Knights win by 13+ points, so we’re snapping up the added value for the Knights to win 1-12.

Most of their wins have been close games, and the Roosters are playing well enough to make it a close game, even if the Knights play their best.

There is value with the current odds, so include it in NRL picks this week as a value bet.
