The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and Newcastle Knights currently sit in the bottom half of the NRL ladder, so both teams will be desperate for a win on Sunday.

Bulldogs vs Knights tips and prediction
On paper, these teams are a fairly even match, so it is not an easy one to pick.
The Bulldogs have only played two games at home this year, but have won both of them – an impressive victory over the Roosters and a thumping of the Titans.
They were also very impressive against the Storm last week, nearly snatching two points in Melbourne.
While the Knights are a talented team when they click, consistency has been a problem in 2024.
The new halves combination of Jackson Hastings and Jack Cogger has helped in that department, it is hard to have full confidence in Newcastle just yet.
Our prediction: Bulldogs by 4 points
