In an exciting matchup, the Knights will face the Warriors, who are feeling optimistic after recent victories.
After a lackluster performance in Round 1, the Knights rebounded impressively with a 26-6 win against the Cowboys, showcasing their defensive prowess from the start.
They will need to maintain this momentum as they host the Warriors at home for the first time since 2019.
The Warriors also displayed their strength in a solid 14-0 victory over the Eels, managing to keep their opponents scoreless.
Key players like Michaela Brake, known for her tackle-breaking abilities, and playmaker Patricia Maliepo contributed significantly to their success.
The team's depth was further highlighted by the experience of Harata Butler and Laishon Albert-Jones, who played pivotal roles in the win.
A notable subplot to the game is the return of former Knights coach Ron Griffiths, who previously led the team to back-to-back premierships.
He now faces his former club alongside players like Albert-Jones and Emmanita Paki, who were part of the Knight's successful past.
As both teams gear up for this crucial encounter, the stage is set for an intriguing showdown between these two competitive squads.
