Newcastle Knights vs Sydney Roosters Preview

A reasonably full-strength Newcastle Knights take on a depleted, but also out of form Roosters side first up on Saturday afternoon.

The Knights have been typically unthreatening more often than not in 2023, but their recent form has been something of an improvement, and included wins over the Titans and Sea Eagles in their last four, as well as a hard-fought loss to the Broncos.

They are without Tyson Frizell this week, but the likes of Ponga, Gagai and the Saifitis will suit up.

I can’t put my finger on why the Roosters just haven’t been able to have an impact this season, but there’s little doubt it’ll be even worse when they step out without the likes of Teddy and Lindsay Collins this week.

I totally understand why the market is skewed as it is, but it’s hard to imagine the Knights truly putting another side to the sword.
