THE PREDICTION

Newcastle Knights have endured a tumultuous season both on and off the pitch and having gone down to Gold Coast Titans last week, they have now lost their last three. It is just one win in eight games for Adam O’Brien’s side who look set to finish in the bottom four and things could get worse here as they host an impressive Cronulla Sharks outfit. The visitors have done brilliantly in Craig Fitzgibbon’s first year in charge and can secure second place with a win here. They nilled Canterbury Bulldogs last time out to make it five straight wins and having lost just one of their last 11, their quality should shine through here with them being capable of covering the -19.5 handicap.
