Newcastle Knights made it two victories in three games with their recent victory against New Zealand Warriors, but this will be a genuine test when they face league leaders Penrith Panthers.
The Knights will need to be more consistent if they are to challenge for a berth in the top eight this season, and while they are heavy underdogs in this game, they will be bolstered by the return of Kurt Mann, who will sit on the bench.

Ponga, Lee, Gagai, Tuala, Young, Milford, Clifford, Klemmer, Randall, J. Saifiti, Frizell, Fitzgibbon, Barnett – Interchanges: Mann, Sasagi, Thompson, Croker – Reserves: Saulo, Momoisea, Hoy, Johns, Crossland
Penrith Panthers Team News
The Penrith Panthers defeated the Canterbury Bulldogs last week, despite the fact that the defending premiers were without a number of players due to State of Origin call-ups.
That group will all return and are expected to back-up as they look to put their disastrous performance for New South Wales behind them, but they will be without crucial player Isaah Yeo, who was ruled out following Wednesday's game.
Squad
Edwards, May, Tago, S. Crichton, To’o, Luai, Cleary, Leota, Koroisau, Fisher-Harris, Kikau, Martin, Yeo – Interchanges: Kenny, Sorensen, Eisenhuth, Salmon – Reserves: Jennings, Smith, O’Sullivan, Hopgood, Leniu, Staines, Falls
Expert Betting Tips
Newcastle Knights will be looking to set the tone for the remainder of the season as they take on current leaders and premiers Penrith Panthers. The Knights have won two of their past three games, but this will be a much tougher challenge, and they will need to be at their best to keep up with the Panthers. The visitors have won four in a row, and with their Origin contingent back on the field, Penrith should be able to win this one quite easily by at least eight points.
