AI match recap

Newcastle return home with the market’s underlying edge, recent head-to-head success and an attack that made an immediate impact on opening weekend. Wellington arrive with a win already on the board and a coach demanding a hard-running, confrontational performance. The central battle will determine whether the Jets can turn possession into repeated wide entries or whether Wellington can feed their two forwards on transitions. Neither side has a confirmed absence, so the published line-ups should be close to full strength.
