Well now, here we have the Dolphins squaring off against the Newcastle Knights. Looking at the past matchups between these two, we've clearly got ourselves a neck-and-neck race, with each team delivering fairly competitive performances. It looks like the Newcastle Knights have been the knights in shining armor in more of these duels than the Dolphins, but hey, not by much.
Speaking of knightly valor, let's jump to the regular season standings, where the Newcastle Knights are currently seated lower than ... well, just about everyone at #15, while the Dolphins are making a splash at #6. Now that's got to dampen your spirits if you're a Newcastle Knights fan, and makes you wonder – have they been selling their armor for scrap metal?
In this context, regular season records are equally revealing - with a rather dim 5-9 for Newcastle as against an evenly balanced 7-7 for the Dolphins. Good thing the Newcastle Knights don't play poker with that hand...
Now even though recent results point to the fact that Newcastle Knights have been performing as unpredictably as Britain's weather, the Dolphins, on the other hand, are coming in hot, turning all their opponents into sushi. They’ve been swarming all over the leaderboard like they’re on vacation in Ibiza.
So, after this absolutely scintillating discussion, my money is on the Dolphins. Folks might need a floaty for this one, because I'm predicting they're going to be the ones making the biggest splash.
