Newcastle Knights vs Sydney Roosters Preview

The Knights return home to Newcastle on Saturday night for a crucial game against a Roosters side looking to make a push for the top four.

Now sitting 10th, the Knights find themselves with plenty of work to do on the ladder after suffering a a mighty 24-6 loss at the hands of the Panthers last week.

The Roosters returned to the winner’s circle with a win on ANZAC Day over the Dragons, although this does look to be another tough test with fullback James Tedesco in some doubt after suffering a nasty concussion last week.

Even so, the Roosters hold the wood over the Knights after rattling off back-to-back double-digit victories in their last two meetings.

The tri-colours have scored more than 40 points on both of those occasions, and the scoreboard could be in for another workout with Edrick Lee, Tex Hoy, Hymel Hunt and Mitchell Pearce still on the sidelines for the Knights.

Roosters head coach Trent Robinson will also sense the importance of this game with his side having lost two from three on the road this year.

McDonald Jones Stadium is a tough away trip for even the best sides, but the Roosters still appear a safe enough bet against this wounded Knights squad.
