An upset loss to Manly last week was a long time coming for a Newcastle squad that has been up for a while now.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0no coincidence the Knights appeared flat in a week where Bradman Best and Jacob Saifit returned;\u00a0they\u2019ve\u00a0done well to cover key absences for extended periods but now have something close to a\u00a0full strength\u00a0squad for the approaching finals series.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A matchup against New Zealand at home here\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0quite as\u00a0timely.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wahs have built their 2026 NRL campaign on a brutal, physical brand of football through the\u00a0middle\u00a0and the Knights must expect to cop some punishment in this one. How Newcastle\u00a0handle,\u00a0absorb\u00a0and\u00a0respond\u00a0to that pressure this week will be a good indicator of their chances in September.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction<\/strong>: New Zealand Warriors (-7.5)<\/p>\n

Anytime Tryscorer:<\/strong> Leka Halasima<\/p>\n
