On the other hand, the Newcastle Knights have experienced frustration as they reflect on missed opportunities in recent weeks. Despite closely contested matches against the Broncos, Roosters, and Panthers without their Origin representatives, the Knights were unable to secure victories. If they had emerged victorious in just two of those encounters, they would find themselves in the conversation for the finals. However, their current position in the bottom four leaves them at risk of being overtaken by the Bulldogs if they suffer a defeat in their upcoming Sunday clash.

📋 Players to watch:

• In the last five games where the Knights have been considered favorites, Dominic Young has scored a try in each of those matches. This suggests that Young has been in good form and has consistently found success in scoring tries when the Knights have been expected to win.
• On the other hand, Josh Addo-Carr has an impressive record against the Knights, scoring eight tries in his last ten games against them. This indicates that Addo-Carr has been a formidable opponent for the Knights, consistently finding the try line and showcasing his scoring ability in previous encounters.
• It's worth considering these statistics when assessing the potential performance of Dominic Young and Josh Addo-Carr in their upcoming match against the Knights. However, it's important to note that past performance is not a guarantee of future outcomes, and various factors can influence individual player performance and team dynamics in each game.
