Round 10 Preview: Knights vs.
Titans
The Newcastle Knights are aiming to build momentum after recently ending a five-game losing streak by defeating Souths.
They now face the Titans in back-to-back home games at McDonald Jones Stadium, where they have only won one of three matches this season.
Coach Adam O'Brien's squad is eager to deliver a strong performance and reward their loyal supporters following a revitalizing showing at Magic Round.
Young talent Fletcher Sharpe shone with a hat-trick at Suncorp Stadium and will look to impress again against the Titans' quick players, including Alofiana Khan-Pereira, AJ Brimson, and Brian Kelly.
Meanwhile, the Titans are struggling with five consecutive losses and have had significant defensive issues, conceding 192 points during this streak.
Despite their troubles, the Titans managed to defeat the Knights in Round 3 and will aim to replicate that success.
However, with newfound confidence, Knights players like Kalyn Ponga, Greg Marzhew, Bradman Best, and Sharpe are poised to take advantage unless the Titans can resolve their defensive shortcomings.
