Best Bet

Sharks –17.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Sharks opened as –16.5 favourites, but we’re not surprised to see the line change in the Sharks’ favour.

They are the much better team in this matchup, and with the Knights extending their poor losing streak with a 46-12 loss to the Broncos last week, backing them comes with a stack of risk, and that’s not a risk we’re prepared to take.

The Sharks have four wins from their last five starts, including scoring 54 points against the Titans two weeks ago. They are fresh off a bye, and that should result in another big score over the hapless Knights.

Same Game Multi

Sharks –17.5, Ronaldo Mulitalo Anytime Try Scorer, KL Iro Anytime Try Scorer, Over 50.5 @ $6.25

Bet Now

Making the most of his opportunities is KL Iro, who scored in each of his last five games. That’s an excellent record, and punters get $1.89 for the Sharks player to score another try on Sunday afternoon.

We also fancy Ronaldo Mulitalo to score his sixth try from his last five games. He has two doubles over the last three weeks, including two against the Titans, and although it took him awhile to show his best try-scoring form, he’s relishing life now.

The final score could be around 44-10, so we’re backing the over. The Sharks should score most of the points, and we only need Newcastle to score a couple of tries to see the over cash.

Best Value Bet

Nicho Hynes Anytime Try Scorer @ $3.10

Bet Now

Punters get value odds for Nicho Hynes to score a try after bagging a double against the Titans.

His confidence levels have improved over the last few weeks, and it’s good to see. He started the year playing timidly, but when he attacks the line, he’s one of the best running halves in the NRL.

Include the $3.10 odds in NRL bets this week.
