Newcastle Knights vs Gold Coast Titans Preview
The Newcastle Knights will be chasing back-to-back victories when they host the struggling Gold Coast Titans at McDonald Jones Stadium on Friday night. The Knights snapped a five-game losing streak with an impressive 30-4 win over the Rabbitohs in Magic Round — a run that, notably, began with a 26-6 loss to the Titans back in Round 3.
The Titans, currently sitting 16th on the ladder, will be eager to break their own five-match losing streak and put an end to a six-game skid in Newcastle. They receive a boost with the early return of Jayden Campbell, who steps in at halfback for Tom Weaver after Weaver was sidelined due to concussion. Jojo Fifita also returns, pushing Tony Francis back to the reserves.
Meanwhile, Knights coach Adam O’Brien has named an unchanged 17 as his side looks to build on the momentum from last week’s dominant performance. With both teams desperate to turn their seasons around, this clash shapes as a pivotal moment in their campaigns.
