In the Thursday night opener of Round 14 of the NRL Telstra Premiership, the struggling Newcastle Knights face the unpredictable Sea Eagles at McDonald Jones Stadium.
The Knights, once formidable at home, have only secured one victory in five home games this season, a 26-12 win against the Dolphins in Round 2.
The return of star fullback Kalyn Ponga aims to boost the team's competitiveness, but they currently hold the lowest scoring average in the league at just 13 points per game.
This puts pressure on them to make a significant improvement against the Sea Eagles.
On the other hand, Anthony Seibold's Sea Eagles are looking to achieve back-to-back wins for only the second time this season, following an impressive victory over the Broncos at 4 Pines Park.
