Newcastle Knights vs St George Illawarra Dragons Preview

A potential top four spot is up for grabs on Sunday when the Knights host the Dragons from Newcastle.

Adam O’Brien’s side suffered one of the biggest upsets of the season last week in their loss to the Tigers, but that may have been the wake-up call the Knights needed as they look to secure a finals spot for the second year in a row.

That isn’t to say this week’s game will come easy against the Dragons, though.

After opening the year with a double-digit loss to the rival Sharks, the Dragons have steadied the ship to rattle off back-to-back wins over the Cowboys and Sea Eagles.

Now sitting fifth, the Dragons will be full of confidence heading into Newcastle, but they won’t hold particularly fond memories of this ground after losing 42-18 to the Knights last September.

To make matters worse, Kalyn Ponga is a chance at playing this week, while the Dragons have also suffered a serious blow of their own after Ben Hunt fractured his fibula last week.

St George fans have reason to feel optimistic this year, but it is difficult to read too much into a pair of victories over two winless sides.

Factoring in Newcastle’s 8-1 record at the line following a previous loss, the Knights really should be bouncing back here.
