RESULT / MARGIN
* Despite Newacstle's recent dominance over the Sharks (The Knights have won 8 out of their last 11 games against the Sharks including 6 out of their last 9 games at Hunter Stadium) it's hard to see them even getting close in this one, Sharks H2H is a safe bet
* Over 31.5 is pretty safe too, The Knights are the worst defensive team in the NRL and the Sharks have the 3rd best attack plus games between these teams average 37.42 points a game
* 13+ seems the most likely margin for the Sharks, The average winning margin in games played between these teams is 12.59 points but when you factor in the Knights defence and Sharks attack this should be a one sided game
TRY SCORING
* Jack Bird has 3 tries in 2 games against the Knights
* Dane Gagai has 4 tries in 6 games against the Sharks
* Ben Barba loves playing the Knights, He has 9 tries in 12 games against us and is the Sharks leading try scorer this year with 6 tries
* Valentine Holmes is the Sharks 2nd top try scorer this year with 5 tries
* Nathan Ross is the Knights leading try scorer this year with 4 tries
