Newcastle Knights vs Nth Queensland Cowboys Preview
One of the better contests of the round is slated for Saturday night, and both the Knights and the Cowboys will be eager to and confident of getting the win in Newcastle.
The Knights are another side who have failed to live up to their roster and billing, and with several key injuries continuing to plague their season, it’s tough imagining them making the eight.
The Cowboys on the other hand have had every right to be awful, and while they certainly were that at the beginning of their campaign, they have continued to improve noticeably as the season has progressed.
Given they are still without plenty of key players, I think the Knights are unders, and I’m backing the Cows for the upset.
