THE PREDICTION
Canterbury Bulldogs have an exceptional record against Newcastle Knights having won eight of the last ten meetings but that will count for nothing based on their miserable form this season. The Knights won the reverse fixture 32-16 at the start of the season after losing their last eight in a row and sitting rock bottom of the NRL ladder, it is hard to make a case for the Bulldogs here. they have a series of injury concerns which is not helping matters and with motivation, form and team news all negative, the Knights should canter to a comfortable win here.
