NRL Round 14 Best Bets - Panthers to continue NRL dominance

The Knights come into their 13th match of the season on the back of eight wins and just four defeats. With the exception of the Panthers at the summit, the Knights boast one of the best records in the league, only bettered by New Zealand Warriors (three defeats). With 16 points collected so far, the Knights are four short of the Warriors in second after a solid campaign. 

On the road, the Knights have won their last two, while they have four wins in six away from home this season. The Storm also boast wins in their last two against the Knights, and I predict they will notch yet another win as their excellent season goes on. 

The Panthers arrive as the best side in the competition after losing one of their opening 12. Their 11 wins have enabled the side to move to the top of the ladder with 24 points, four clear of the Warriors in second. Having downed the Warriors last week, the Panthers underlined their claim to the trophy once again. While their only defeat of the season came on the road against the Bulldogs on April 9, they have won the other five, scoring 179 points and conceding 88. Clearly, the Panthers are the best in the business right now, and they will be hugely confident heading into this one. 

Against the Tigers, the Panthers boast three wins in their last four meetings, while they have won seven across their last 10. Generally, the top side in the NRL has proved far too good for the Tigers, and I predict that this will be another example of this as they storm to another win.
