Melbourne Storm vs Newcastle Knights Preview

A genuine top-four test awaits Newcastle when it travels to AAMI Park to face a Melbourne side beginning to resemble its usual premiership-contending self. After enduring a difficult mid-season stretch, the Storm have won three of their past four matches, highlighted by a clinical defensive performance against the Roosters last weekend. Newcastle arrives with confidence after four consecutive victories, although the Knights were made to work hard against Parramatta and now face a much sterner challenge. Kalyn Ponga remains central to Newcastle’s hopes, while Melbourne’s electric fullback Sua Faalogo continues to grow in influence. History heavily favours the Storm, who have won 13 of the last 15 meetings and have not lost a home game against Newcastle since 2015. With both sides carrying momentum, this shapes as one of the round’s most significant contests.
