Knights vs Warriors Preview & Prediction

New Zealand were shown up at home last week against the Titans and will now be on the road on Sunday afternoon in Newcastle.
McDonald Jones Stadium is one of the more hostile stadiums in the NRL and, despite the Knights being outsiders at home, the Knights have their last nine straight in Sunday afternoon games at home.

Given that they’re coming off a win against the Dolphins as well, an upset could be on the cards here.

It looks like it’s no Ponga, no worries for Newcastle.

David Armstrong impressed for the Knights last weekend on debut and even scored just eight minutes into his first-grade career.

The Warriors are missing a lot of firepower at the moment. No Kurt Capewell, Freddy Lussick, Jazz Tevaga, Chanel Harris-Tavita or Marata Niukore this week. It’s a long list of injuries in NZ and Bunty Afoa looks set to return off the bench this week from a hamstring injury.

The Warriors have not covered in five of their last six games and, given it’s a very short 4.5 points this week, an upset is the play.
