North Queensland Cowboys vs Newcastle Knights NRL Elimination Final betting tips. Our expert NRL tipster previews Saturday’s game at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
The Knights are flying to Townsville as they face the Cowboys on Saturday night at Queensland Country Bank Stadium. The Knights squeezed into the finals after breaking Wayne Bennett and the Dolphins’ hearts last week, while the Cowboys are coming off a very impressive win against the Bulldogs down in Sydney.
Prediction: Cowboys to Win
The Cowboys haven’t beaten the Knights since way back in 2021. Newcastle have struggled on the road this season, winning just five games. The Knights also have the weakest attack of any team in the top eight, scoring just under 20 points per game.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, score over 27 points per game. North Queensland has a very dynamic attack led by Valentine Holmes, who leads the entire NRL in points scored and Kyle Feldt, who has scored 22 tries this season.
Line – Cowboys -6.5
The Cowboys blew out the Doggies 44-6 last weekend, and we’re predicting them to cruise past the Knights. Expect Valentine Holmes to be laser-accurate with his boot, just like last week when he slotted eight goals without a single miss. We also don’t see how the Knights can keep out Kyle Feldt, who has been scoring a try a game. It looks like the Knights will be in for a long night, and the game could be over by half-time!
