Knights vs. Wests Tigers Predictions

The NRL continues with Round 17 action between the Knights vs. Wests Tigers on Sunday, June 28 at 4:05pm at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Bringing a close to the round are the Knights and Tigers, where the Knights look to continue their march up the NRL leaderboard.

Best Bet

Knights –6.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Tigers have lost 20 of their last 22 away games with a rest disadvantage, and that could prove too much for them to overcome. They lost 36-22 to the Dolphins last week, and they haven’t shown enough this season.

It has been a tough year for Tigers fans, and although they’re still in striking range of the finals, we can’t see them making it.

Beating Newcastle should prove too tough, given the Knights’ recent form. They bounced back from a loss to Melbourne with a win over the Dragons, and the loss to the Storm came only by two points in a 32-30 thriller.

Their schedule is about to get much harder following the Tigers, which is why scoring a comfortable win on Sunday is important. Take the Knights to run wild and cover the –6.5 spread.

Same Game Multi

Knights –6.5, Dominic Young Anytime Try Scorer, Dane Gagai Anytime Try Scorer, Over 51.5 @ $10.50

Bet Now

Dominic Young hasn’t scored in his last three games, but that’s set to change. He had five tries in a two-game span earlier this year, and when the Knights are playing their best, he tends to cash in. The $1.66 odds are good to boost payouts.

Dane Gagai isn’t a noted try scorer as he does most of his work in the lead-up, but he’s our pick to score. The Knights could score plenty of tries, and at $2.85, we’d love to see him crash over for a four pointer.

The Knights could score close to 40 points, which should see over 51.5 come through for punters.

Best Value Bet

Fletcher Sharpe First Try Scorer @ $12.00

Bet Now

We had Fletcher Sharpe to score two tries at $7 last week, and we’re not about to jump off his back after that performance.

He scored the first try against the Dragons before scoring another try just minutes after. He has a knack of finding the line, and he could score the opener on Sunday.

The $12 odds are generous, so include him in NRL picks this week.
