Dragons vs Knights NRL betting tips & same game multi | Round 6

The Newcastle Knights travel to WIN Stadium in Wollongong in what’s a must win match against the St George Dragons on Sunday afternoon. The Dragons started their season with a win against the Warriors, before losing four on the trot, forcing coach Anthony Griffin to wield the axe in recent weeks. On the flip side, Newcastle started their season by upsetting the Sydney Roosters at the SCG, smashing the Tigers, and losing their last three. At home, the Dragons have opened favorites, drifting from $1.55 out to as long as $1.71, while the Knights have been backed in from $2.50 to as short as $2.15 with the bookies.

The St George Illawarra Dragons may have the wood over the Knights in head-to-head matches, winning 28 from 41 games. While the Dragons may have won their last clash round four clash in 2021, the Knights won the previous two matches by a total of 57 points. The home ground advantage appears to have been heavily factored into the head-to-head market, making the Newcastle Knights incredible value to win paying $2.25 currently with Playup.

On what’s predicted to be a fast, dry track at WIN Stadium Sunday, there could be points a plenty on offer. The Dragons have been particularly poor defensively this season, allowing 144 points in five games. Factor into the equation the high score lines in games past between these two NRL clubs, and the total points margin being set at +39.5, the ‘overs’ looks a great play in this match.

Erick Lee has been named for his first game of Rugby League at the top level since he featured in the famous 2020 State of Origin win for Queensland. The high-flying winger can score tries by leaping over his opposing winger or busting through the defensive line. Lee represents excellent value to score a try at any time during the match, paying $2.40. This would be the fairytale return for Edrick Lee as a player plagued by injury in the past couple of seasons.

KEY MATCH UP: DANE GAGAI V MOSES SULI

In what could be one of the most mouth-watering match ups of outside backs for the season, the in-form Dane Gagai takes on one of the most powerful outside backs in the NRL on his day, Moses Suli. Suli will definitely have his hands full and need to be at the peak of his powers to stop Dane Gagai. In his return to the Knights, Gagai has scored two tries, assisted on three others and busted a mind blowing 26 tackles. The winner of this match up could go a long way to decide the winner if this game.
