NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS VS PENRITH PANTHERS – SATURDAY 15 APRIL, 5:30PM, MCDONALD JONES STADIUM

The Panthers were involved in a series of low-scoring grinds against good opposition over the first month of the season, but they’ve opened their shoulders with sizzling wins over the Raiders (53-12) and Sea Eagles (42-12) in the past fortnight.

The Knights will be at home for the second week in a row and will be high on confidence following a tough 34-24 win over the Warriors, which ensured they finished Round 6 sitting inside the top eight.
