The Knights average an extra try against lower ranked defensive teams this season and when the numbers are broken down to bottom 4 it is two tries. The expectation here is that the Knights will tire out the Titans early in the game with grinding defence and rolling middle running. 

From previous weeks we know that the Titans have fallen away late in games, it is here that Newcastle will turn it up and kick out to a sizeable lead to win the game. Despite the narrative that Newcastle will win 13+ the Total will stay Under thanks to the inability of Gold Coast to score.

  • Newcastle average 24.8 pts per game this season against teams ranked in the bottom 8 for scoring defence and 30.4 pts against bottom 4 ranked teams.
  • Gold Coast average only 14.5 pts per game against top 7 defences.
  • 5 of the last 6 Titans games have been decided by 13+ points.
  • Kalyn Ponga has scored a try in 6 of 8 games played against the Titans.


Head to Head 


The Knights and Titans have met on 9 occasions since the beginning of the 2019 season. Newcastle hold a narrow lead in the head to head record with 5-4 which is reversed to 4-5 ATS.

The Over has hit in the Game Total in 6 of 9 games including the last 4 in a row. The Winning Margin has exceed the 13+ in 6 of 9 games but only 2 of the last 5.

A trend has emerged for the Knights this season with hot and cold performances against top and bottom ranked teams. Over just the past 4 weeks the Knights put a combined 70 points on the Tigers and Rabbitohs but managed only 32 combined points against the Sharks and Panthers. 

One thing that has remained solid over much of the season though is their defence where they allow 22.27 pts per game on average to their opponents.

The Titans were in the game against the Roosters last weekend for the first 25 minutes or so but a flurry of opposition tries in the 10 minutes preceding halftime put the game out of reach. Gold Coast were stuck in their own half for most of the game with only 388 Kick Metres and 15 Errors. 

They are now on a 3 game losing streak, the most since their 0-6 start to the season.
