In an exciting match-up, two undefeated teams face off, though injuries have impacted both the Knights and the NZ Warriors.
Newcastle's captain Kalyn Ponga is out for 6-8 weeks due to a hamstring issue, while Dylan Brown is sidelined for about a month with an MCL strain.
Fletcher Sharpe's anticipated return was also delayed late in the week.
Despite these setbacks, Newcastle triumphed over the Sea Eagles last week, and coach Justin Holbrook hopes his team can maintain that fighting spirit in their inaugural home game against the Warriors.
Key uncelebrated players like halfback Tanah Boyd and Dally M leader Jackson Ford have stepped up, giving the Warriors a chance to secure second place with a win.
Last week, they showcased resilience after losing Kurt Capewell and Chanel Harris-Tavita early, delivering a strong performance against the Raiders.
As they embark on their first road trip of the season, Andrew Webster's squad aims to harness their previous momentum.
