The Newcastle Knights and Wests Tigers are desperate for a win after consecutive losses, but one team will win at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday April 13 at 4:05pm.
Both teams have made a series of changes, so it should be a cracking way to close out Round 6.

Knights vs. Wests Tigers Predictions
—
Best Bet
Tigers +2.5 @ $1.90
It’s never easy to back the Tigers, but they get Jarome Luai back in the team and that should give them a much-needed boost following consecutive losses.
The potential is there for the Tigers, as they showed when beating the Eels and Dolphins. Losses to the Warriors and Broncos followed, but this team was always going to need a few weeks to find their groove.
Newcastle hasn’t been playing well, scoring just six points in its last two games. That’s the biggest reason for backing the Tigers +2.5, and the Knights have also lost Jack Cogger, Jacob Saifiti, and Jack Hetherington, so they are struggling to field their strongest team.

Same Game Multi
Tigers +2.5, Sunia Turuva Anytime Try Scorer, Starford To’a Anytime Try Scorer, Total Match Points Under 44.5 @ $22.75
We are surprised by the $1.99 odds for Sunia Turuva to score a try. Bookmakers expect a low-scoring game, but we expect the Tigers to do most of the scoring. Newcastle could struggle to score two tries, which is why we’re backing two Tigers players.
Turuva is a known try-scoring machine, having scored six already this year. He scored a try last week in the loss to the Broncos, and we thought his odds would have been around $1.70 to score. Punters also get value odds for Starford To’a at $3.75. He boosts NRL same game multis at those odds, having scored a double last week.
We expect the Knights to struggle offensively, so we’re including under 44.5 points. Their offensive woes are at an all-time low, and we struggle to see where their points will come from. Therefore, the final score could be around 20-12 in the Tigers favour.

Sunia Turuva First Try Scorer @ $9.50
We’re sticking with Turuva to have a big game, and he’s our best pick to get the scoring started on Sunday afternoon.
The Fijian winger knows how to score tries, and he showed that when playing for the Penrith Panthers. His experience winning premierships is a bonus, and he is one of the most prolific scorers over the last couple of years.
He’s not being respected with NRL odds, so take the value.
