In the lead-up to the Round 14 clash between the Knights and the Sea Eagles at McDonald Jones Stadium, the Knights face significant challenges.
Historically, this venue was daunting for visiting teams, but in 2025, the Knights' struggles have made it a favorable matchup for opponents, particularly Manly.
Reports from nrl.com.au indicate that despite Manly's recent strong performance against Brisbane, they won't underestimate the Knights.
The Knights have only secured one win at home this season, with a 26-12 victory against the Dolphins in Round 2, but have since suffered eight losses, the latest being to the Dragons.
The team's offensive issues are stark, averaging only 13 points per game, the lowest in the NRL.
The return of star fullback Kalyn Ponga is expected to bolster their competitiveness, but concerns remain about their ability to generate enough scoring to challenge the Sea Eagles effectively.
