THE TEAM NEWS
NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
- Newcastle Knights were too good for St. George Illawarra Dragons in biblical conditions last week as they made it two wins from their last three matches.
- Jackson Hastings returned to the side at halfback and did enough to retain his spot this week with no changes made to the 17 that got the job done against the Dragons.
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. Dylan Lucas 12. Kai Pearce-Paul 13. Adam Elliott Bench: 14. Phoenix Crossland 15. Daniel Saifiti 16. Jack Hetherington 17. Mathew Croker Reserves: 18. Jed Cartwright 19. Brodie Jones 20. Tyson Gamble 21. Will Pryce 22. Greg Marzhew
SYDNEY ROOSTERS
- Sydney Roosters almost pulled off an incredible comeback against Canterbury Bulldogs last week but their poor start and ill-discipline ultimately cost them.
- It was a second loss in-a-row for the Tricolours and they must deal with the loss of James Tedesco and Sam Walker here while Dom Young is banned following his red card last week.
Starting 13: 1. Joseph Manu 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Michael Jennings 4. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii 5. Fetalaiga Pauga 6. Connor Watson 7. Luke Keary 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Brandon Smith 10. Lindsay Collins 11. Nat Butcher 12. Angus Crichton 13. Victor Radley Bench: 14. Zach Dockar-Clay 15. Naufahu Whyte 16. Sitili Tupouniua 17. Terrell May Reserves: 18. Egan Butcher 19. Lewis Murphy 20. Benaiah Ioelu 21. Hugo Savala 22. Siua Wong
THE PREDICTION
Newcastle Knights will believe they have shown enough in their last few outings to suggest that they can go on a good run but this will be a real test for them as they take on Sydney Roosters. The Tricolours were disappointing last week as they fell to a poor loss to Canterbury Bulldogs and while there was plenty of character on display after some in-game strife, those issues could be evident again with some key men missing so side with the hosts to clinch the victory.
TIP: NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS TO WIN
