Sunday, July 26, 2.00 PM, Round 11, McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle, Newcastle Knights take on Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs NRL Match Preview

Bulldogs travel to Newcastle to take on the Knights and despite all the latest changes with the club and coaches the Bulldogs have won the last five against the Knights at home but is history enough to stop a Knights train this year? the Knights have been travelling well putting in fairly consistent performances whilst stepping up to teams that would normally run over them this history may be remembered today and the Knights should be too strong for the Bulldogs.

LAST TIME THEY MET

The last time these two teams met the Knights at home lost to the Bulldogs 14-20. Previously, in earlier years and most recent form, 37 matches played between the Bulldogs and the Knights favour the Bulldogs winning 19, all other statistics indicate the Knights score more points and defend a lot better on an average.
