The Knights look to solidify their place in the top eight when they take on cellar-dwellers St George Illawarra in Newcastle on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Newcastle Knights vs St George Illawarra Dragons<\/h2>\n

Newcastle come into this match off the back of a bye, before which they lost a close one to the Melbourne Storm.<\/p>\n

They’ll still be pleased with their recent form overall, having won four in a row prior to that and climbed to seventh on the ladder.<\/p>\n

No such feelings for the Dragons, who have just one win from their last 17 matches in the NRL. Most recently they were put away 34-12, and also had a bye last week.<\/p>\n

Leg 1 – Knights 13+<\/h3>\n

These two sides met in early May and the result was a 44-10 hammering, where the Knights raced out to a 32-0 half-time lead.<\/p>\n

Little has shifted for either club over the last six weeks, so a similar result can be expected.<\/p>\n

The Dragons still have the most porous defence in the competition, while Newcastle have continued to sharpen their attack and improve since then.<\/p>\n

Leg 2 – Over 49.5 Points Total<\/h3>\n

This is a match that screams points, and it’s not just because their last meeting produced 54 of them.<\/p>\n

The Knights have scored an average of 36 points a game over their last five outings, while the Dragons have leaked 28 or more points in all but two fixtures this season.<\/p>\n

Pair these two trends, and a high-scoring encounter beckons.<\/p>\n

Leg 3 – Fletcher Sharpe to Score<\/h3>\n

In a one-sided match like this, players who see plenty of ball are a good bet to score opportunistic tries, particularly when they have the pace of Sharpe.<\/p>\n

Expect the Knights’ five-eighth to run himself in during the latter stages of the match, as the Dragons attempt to shut down Newcastle’s more high-profile backline threats.<\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/h2>\n

Knights 13+ \/ Over 49.5 \/ Sharpe to Score = $5.50 <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Value Bet<\/h2>\n

Young has two hat-tricks already in 2026, against the Bulldogs in Round 4 and the Titans in Round 11.<\/p>\n

The last time these teams met, he nearly picked up another, ending on two tries.<\/p>\n

Facing the weakest edge defence in the competition, Young should finish off plenty of the Knights’ attack.<\/p>\n
