A crucial 2 points are on the line for the Knights and Wests Tigers in Newcastle. This is how to watch.
Newcastle and the Tigers are jockeying for positions around the bottom of the NRL's top eight. So this is a huge clash at McDonald Jones Stadium. A win for the seventh-placed Knights would give them some breathing room and keep them in touch with the top four.
The situation is becoming more critical for Michael Maguire's 10th-ranked Tigers. Win this match and they could be in the top eight by round's end. But a defeat could have them struggling to keep pace with this year's play-off contenders.

Who will win Newcastle Knights vs Wests Tigers?
It's turning into yet another season of frustration for the Tigers' faithful. Last week's capitulation against the Warriors means the joint-venture club is facing an uphill battle to end a long postseason drought. As usual, they can beat anyone on their day and then lose the matches they are expected to win.
The Knights are also on a two-game losing skid that has left them vulnerable in the top eight. Playing on their home deck, we expect Newcastle to take the points in this one.
