The Knights and Raiders are reportedly feeling the heat as Channel 9 pushes for a change to the NRL draw, leaving their scheduled clash in jeopardy.

The free-to-air broadcast partner is seeking to swap the Thursday night game, snubbing Newcastle and Canberra in favor of a Sydney match-up.

This has caused chaos and uncertainty, with the NRL expected to listen to Channel 9's request and make a last-minute switch.

As a result, the Raiders are among several clubs meeting with NRL officials to discuss the situation, with the 2024 season fixtures at the forefront of the conversation.

The leaked draw has reportedly infuriated the NRL, adding more drama to the already tense situation.

It remains to be seen how the league will handle the demands from Channel 9 and the impact it will have on the Knights and Raiders.
