NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS VS CANBERRA RAIDERS – SUNDAY 26 MARCH, 4:05PM, MCDONALD JONES STADIUM

The 36-20 final scoreline against them didn’t reflect Newcastle Knights’ gallant effort for the first hour against the in-form Dolphins, leading midway through the second half despite a shocking injury and suspension toll that forced them to name three debutants on the bench.

The Raiders hold a 21-20 head-to-head lead over the Knights since 1998 – a record the Green Machine have reeled back in the past decade after Newcastle held a dominance in the early days.
