Gold Coast Titans vs Newcastle Knights Preview
Gold Coast is only ahead of Wests Tigers on for-and-against and will be eager to control its own destiny in the wooden spoon battle. The Titans received a reality check after their season-best 44-24 win over Manly that ended a 10-match losing run, suffering a 46-26 loss to St George Illawarra last Sunday.
While defence remains the Titans’ Achilles heel, it has been heartening to see their attacking strike return – they have averaged 27 points in their last five games.
Brian Kelly comes back from a knee complaint to replace the injured Patrick Herbert. Klese Haas will make his NRL debut off the bench with Jarrod Wallace out of the side.
Newcastle, 14th on the ladder but four points clear of the Titans, showed plenty of spirit in the wake of a bad news week to almost roll a Canberra side that simply had to win. Piling on five first-half tries, errant goalkicking proved crucial as the Knights’ 22-8 lead faded to a 28-22 loss.
Tex Hoy had a big game at fullback and Dane Gagai enjoyed one of his better club performances of an underwhelming 2022.
NSW forwards Tyson Frizell and Daniel Saifiti return for the Knights, with Mat Croker and Jacob Saifiti dropping back to the bench.
Edrick Lee scored a club-record five tries as Newcastle whipped Gold Coast 38-18 at home in Round 16. But the Titans are on a six-match winning streak against the Knights at Cbus Super Stadium.
The Knights are a surprisingly passable 4-7 away from Newcastle this season. The Titans are just 3-7 at home. Neither side can be trusted, but a points-fest does seem highly likely.
