Penrith Panthers vs Newcastle Knights Preview

The Newcastle Knights face a daunting challenge this Sunday as they travel to Penrith to take on the second-placed Panthers, led by Nathan Cleary.

Penrith has returned from the Origin period in strong form, with Cleary scoring a golden point field goal and a hat-trick in their last two games. Despite missing James Fisher-Harris due to injury, Penrith remains formidable with Isaiah Iongi making his debut at fullback.

The Knights, struggling with just two wins in their last seven games, are at risk of dropping out of the Top 8. They’ve been inconsistent, with heavy losses before the bye and a recent reshuffle in their lineup, including dropping Jackson Hastings and returning Jayden Brailey to the starting hooker role.

Newcastle’s poor record against Penrith—losing their last six encounters—coupled with a trend of conceding high scores, suggests a tough road ahead. The Panthers are primed for a big win as they aim to secure a top-two finish.
