The Newcastle Knights are gearing up for a crucial clash as they hit the road to take on the Raiders in Round 18 of the NRL.
After two electric sell-out games at McDonald Jones Stadium, the Knights will be looking to carry that momentum into this away game.
Fresh off a nail-biting victory against the Eels in front of a roaring home crowd of over 27,000 fans, the Knights are ready to tackle the back half of the season head-on as they push towards the finals.
With both teams sitting on 18 competition points and only nine games left in the season, this match is a must-win for both sides.
The game will mark a special milestone for Tyson Frizell, who will be playing his 250th NRL game.
Fans can catch all the action live on Channel Nine, 9Now, Fox League, and Kayo Sports.
This game is set to be a classic showdown between two fierce competitors, with a history that dates back to 1988 and a total of 57 games played between the two teams.
The Knights will need to bring their A-game and show their true grit if they want to come out on top in this clash.
It's going to be a battle of epic proportions, but the Knights are ready to fight tooth and nail for the win.
