THE TEAM NEWS
NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
- Newcastle Knights suffered a third loss of the season as they went down to New Zealand Warriors last week, leaving them with just one success to their name so far.
- The Knights were not good enough with the ball in that clash in New Zealand and have reacted to that with Jackson Hastings coming back into the side at halfback which sees Tyson Gamble drop out.
Starting 13: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Thomas Jenkins 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Enari Tuala 6. Jack Cogger 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Jacob Saifiti 9. Jayden Brailey 10. Leo Thompson 11. Tyson Frizell 12.

Tyson Gamble 22. Thomas Cant
ST. GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS
- St. George Illawarra Dragons did what was required to avoid a third straight loss as they produced a solid display to defeat Manly Sea Eagles last week.
- The Dragons showed what they are capable of but their challenge will be to back that up consistently and they have made just one change here with Michael Molo coming onto the bench in place of Hame Sele.
Starting 13: 1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Zac Lomax 3. Moses Suli 4. Jack Bird 5. Mikaele Ravalawa 6. Kyle Flanagan 7. Ben Hunt 8. Francis Molo 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Jack de Belin 11. Luciano Leilua 12. Jaydn Su'A 13. Tom Eisenhuth Bench: 14. Jesse Marschke 15. Blake Lawrie 16. Michael Molo 17. Raymond Faitala-Mariner Reserves: 18. Hame Sele 19. Christian Tuipulotu 20. Viliami Fifita 21. Ryan Couchman 22. Ben Murdoch-Masila
THE PREDICTION
Newcastle Knights have not made the best of starts to the season but will be pinpointing a win in this clash with St. George Illawarra Dragons. The away side claimed a good win against Manly Sea Eagles last week but the Knights have lost just two of their last 11 home matches and that record gives them the edge in this one.
TIP: NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS TO WIN
