Market:: Total Score
Tip:: Total Match Points Under 38.5 @ 1.91 (bet365)
Tip Result:: Loss

The New Zealand Warriors will go a long way towards securing a finals berth if they can walk off Hunter Stadium after 80 minutes with two competition points in their back pocket.
But if they are to pull off that required win then they will want to play much better than what they did against the Sharks last week when they only just managed to scrape through with a win off the back of a sloppy performance.
Konrad Hurrell has remained in Auckland and obviously won’t be taking any part in the match which sees Ben Henry move into the centres and he’ll no doubt be wreaking havoc on the Knights’ edge defenders.
You all have probably heard by now of the Knights’ amazing after the siren win against the Storm last week which will have them convinced they can beat anyone on their day when they apply themselves, and also apply discipline to their game.
There’s no doubting the Knights have become a better team in the latter half of the season than their 14th place on the ladder suggests although their improvements are in vein as they can no longer make the finals.
With nothing but pride to play for, I still think the Knights’ will still give the Warriors a push and with a very high chance of rain playing a part, the wet conditions will keep the Knights close throughout the contest.
The rain is also likely to keep the scoring to a minimum and I would suggest getting on the ‘under’ option before the line of 38.5 in the total points scored market drops any further.

Mike’s Tip: Warriors
Mike’s Best Bet: Total match points ‘Under’ 38.5 @ $1.91 (Bet365)
