The upcoming match between the Dragons and the Knights is generating significant interest, especially as the Knights look to build on their recent success.
Coming off a morale-boosting victory against the defending premiers, Penrith, the Knights are eager to secure two consecutive wins for the first time since the start of the season (Round 1-2).
Despite missing key players like Kalyn Ponga, Bradman Best, Greg Marzhew, and Jacob Saifiti, the Knights showcased their capability by racing to a 24-0 lead against Penrith within the first 25 minutes of the match, effectively sealing their triumph early.
On the other hand, the Dragons are riding a wave of confidence after their impressive win over the Broncos and having a bye in Round 12 to regroup.
The competition between the two sides is tight, with only two points separating them on the ladder.
However, their previous encounter last year resulted in a considerably larger gap, as the Knights celebrated a dominant 30-10 victory in Newcastle.
As the match approaches, both teams will be determined to leverage their recent performances, making for an exciting clash in Dragons territory.
