Newcastle Knights vs Canberra Raiders Preview

Despite a 36-20 loss against the Dolphins, the Newcastle Knights displayed a courageous effort, leading midway through the second half even with an injury-plagued roster. Lachlan Miller shines at fullback, but the 1-2 Knights struggle overall, and missing key players Kalyn Ponga and Jacob Saifiti doesn’t help. Jayden Brailey and Kurt Mann return, while Tyson Frizell could make a late appearance, and Dom Young is replaced by Greg Marzhew.

Canberra, after close losses to North Queensland and the Dolphins, secured a crucial 24-20 win over Cronulla. Standout performances by Corey Horsburgh and Matt Timoko contributed to the victory. The Raiders bring in Zac Woolford and Josh Papalii for their first appearance in 2023.

In 2022, Canberra narrowly defeated the Knights twice. The Raiders’ defense has yet to allow over 20 points, while the Knights average 15.3 points per game. With their first win of the season, Canberra is poised to triumph over the struggling Knights on the road.
