Our best bet for Sunday’s NRL Semi-Final between the New Zealand Warriors and Newcastle Knights is the Warriors -6.5 \/ Over 44.5 \/ Young to Score Same Game Multi at $7.50, with New Zealand winning their last four straight against the Knights and both sides averaging well over 44.5 points in their recent meetings.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Warriors look to bounce back from a tough loss last week as they host the Knights at Eden Park in the second NRL Semi-Final this Sunday.<\/p>\n

New Zealand Warriors vs Newcastle Knights<\/h2>\n

After coming within a whisker of securing the Minor Premiership, New Zealand are now teetering on the edge of disaster after losing their Qualifying Final against the Dolphins last week.<\/p>\n

They do receive some notable reinforcements for this match, with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Leka Halasima returning, though Jackson Ford has been ruled out.<\/p>\n

The Knights kept their hopes alive by executing an upset of their own last week, tipping over the sixth-placed Rabbitohs to earn a crack at the Preliminary Finals here.<\/p>\n

Leg 1 – Warriors -6.5<\/h3>\n

These two sides played in the penultimate round of the regular season, with the Warriors coming out on top 46-32.<\/p>\n

This was in line with the recent Kiwi domination of this head-to-head, where New Zealand have won the last four straight, including 38-12 earlier in the season.<\/p>\n

The Knights did well to scratch past the Rabbitohs last week, but look largely spent this season. A remotivated Warriors side desperate to avoid embarrassment in front of the sold-out Eden Park should put them to the sword.<\/p>\n

Leg 2 – Over 44.5 Points Total<\/h3>\n

Conventional wisdom says that finals footy will be low scoring, but not when these two are involved.<\/p>\n

Their two meetings this season have seen 78 and 50 points scored, while each side had crossed the 44.5-point line in their four matches leading into last week.<\/p>\n

Neither club has rock-solid defence, yet both are laden with attacking threats, exactly the recipe for a high-scoring clash.<\/p>\n

Leg 3 – Dominic Young to Score<\/h3>\n

The Warriors have had leaky edge defence in the latter half of the season, something the Dolphins capitalised on in their victory last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Young is a clinical finisher, having scored 21 times in 24 appearances this year, including six tries in his last six starts.<\/p>\n

Given this clash is shaping up to be high scoring, the Knights’ winger crossing over at some stage is to be expected.<\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/h2>\n

Warriors -6.5 \/ Over 44.5 \/ Young to Score = $7.50 <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Value Bet<\/h2>\n

Watene-Zelezniak has been sidelined since Round 25 with a broken collar bone, and will be chomping at the bit to return and help get his side into the Preliminary Finals.<\/p>\n

He’s been brilliant in the matches he has played, scoring 20 tries from 21 matches, including in his last two.<\/p>\n

The Warriors’ winger thrives on the big stage, so expect him to turn it on for the home crowd and come away with a brace.<\/p>\n
