Newcastle Knights vs New Zealand Warriors Preview

Since their Round 4 clash, the Knights and Warriors have seen shifts in form and lineup. The Warriors, once strong contenders, now struggle for consistency after two disappointing losses, while the Knights rebounded with an upset win over the Dolphins. Both teams made changes, with the Warriors welcoming back Capewell and Afoa, and the Knights staying unchanged despite injuries. Home advantage has been crucial, with the Warriors yet to win against the Knights in Australia in their last four attempts. Despite this, the Warriors are favored on the road. To succeed, they must maintain their platform and address defensive issues, while the Knights seek another strong effort for back-to-back wins.
