THE TEAM NEWS

NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS

  • Newcastle Knights avoided a third successive defeat as they got the better of the Dolphins on the road last week to earn a much-needed success.
  • The Knights were without talisman Kalyn Ponga for that game with David Armstrong impressing on debut and it is little surprise that an unchanged 17 will take to the field for this one.

Starting 13: 1. David Armstrong 2. Greg Marzhew 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Enari Tuala 6. Tyson Gamble 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Jacob Saifiti 9. Jayden Brailey 10. Leo Thompson 11. Dylan Lucas 12. Kai Pearce-Paul 13. Adam Elliott Bench: 14. Phoenix Crossland 15. Daniel Saifiti 16. Jed Cartwright 17. Brodie Jones Reserves: 18. Mathew Croker 19. Jack Hetherington 20. Jack Cogger 21. Thomas Cant 22. Thomas Jenkins

NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS

  • New Zealand Warriors are now without a win in three matches after suffering a second loss in-a-row, going down to Gold Coast Titans in disappointing fashion last time out.
  • That was a first win of the campaign for the Titans which only highlighted what a poor result it was but Kurt Capewell returning here provides them with a timely boost for this trip.

Starting 13: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Rocco Berry 4. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 5. Marcelo Montoya 6. Te Maire Martin 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Wayde Egan 10. Mitchell Barnett 11. Jackson Ford 12. Kurt Capewell 13. Tohu Harris Bench: 14. Dylan Walker 15. Tom Ale 16. Jacob Laban 17. Bunty Afoa Reserves: 18. Adam Pompey 20. Zyon Maiu'u 21. Edward Kosi 22. Taine Tuaupiki 23. Tanner Stowers-Smith

THE PREDICTION

Newcastle Knights will be desperate to make it back-to-back wins as they host New Zealand Warriors with a victory here putting them right back on track for the season. The Kiwi outfit have fallen by the wayside with no win in three and the pressure will be mounting on them if they fail to win here. This is a tough encounter to call but if the Warriors play to their capacity, they are favoured to come out on top.

TIP: NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS TO WIN
