THE TEAM NEWS
CANTERBURY BULLDOGS
- Canterbury Bulldogs were unable to build on their shock win over Sydney Roosters as they produced a very lacklustre effort in their clash with Canberra Raiders last week as their struggles with the ball reared their head once again.
- The Bulldogs were limited to just four points in that clash and ahead of this round 10 clash, they are still yet to surpass 16 points in any game so far this campaign with the pressure on their pivots to produce here.
Starting 13: Dufty, Naden, Averillo, Schoupp, Addo-Carr, Burton, Flanagan, Thompson, Marshall-King, Vaughan, Waddell, Pangai Jnr., Jackson – Interchanges: Biondi-Odo, Stimson, King, Patalo – Reserves: Seumanufagai, Cook, Topine, Wakeham, Okunbor, Faitala-Mariner, Alamoti
Unavailable: Matt Doorey, Jack Hetherington, Braidon Burns, Corey Allan
NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
- Newcastle Knights’ dreadful run of form continued as their second half capitulation against North Queensland Cowboys last week saw them fall to their seventh consecutive loss which ensured that they continue to prop-up the ladder.
- The Knights held a four-point lead at half-time in their clash with the Cowboys but they conceded 24 points without reply in the second period but they will hope the return of Adam Clune and Mitch Barnett can aid their cause as they bid to end their losing streak.
Starting 13: Ponga, Lee, Tuala, Best, Young, Hoy, Clune, Klemmer, Randall, D. Saifiti, Barnett, Fitzgibbon, Thompson – Interchanges: Crossland, J. Saifiti, Saulo, Croker – Reserves: Sasagi, Sue, Musgrove, Purcell, Mapapalangi, Rugless, Talty
Unavailable: Bailey Hodgson, Hymel Hunt, Jayden Brailey, Tyson Frizell, Brodie Jones, Kurt Mann, Jirah Momoisea, Dane Gagai, Jack Johns, Dylan Lucas, Chirs Vea’ila
THE PREDICTION
The NRL Magic Round gets underway with the two teams rooted to the foot of the ladder going head-to-head as Canterbury Bulldogs take on Newcastle Knights. Both teams have claimed just two victories apiece so far this season in what has been an extremely underwhelming start to the campaign. The Bulldogs will hope to extend the Knights’ losing run to eight games but in a game that is very difficult to call, it is best to back this to be a low-scoring game at Suncorp Stadium with a deluge of rain unlikely to aid what was already expected to be a contest lacking quality with under 36.5 points the pick.
