In the great clash, the Knights seek to solidify their top-eight standing against the struggling Bulldogs on Sunday. Newcastle's finals aspirations seemed bleak not long ago, but a five-game winning streak propelled them to seventh place.

A commanding 66-0 victory over the Bulldogs ignited this streak, and the Knights aim to replicate that performance. Last week, Newcastle narrowly secured a 30-28 win over the Dolphins, highlighting the need for improved execution under Adam O'Brien's guidance.

On the other side, the Bulldogs are gradually regaining their full roster after battling injuries all season, albeit belatedly. Canterbury has claimed two wins in four matches since their 66-0 defeat to the Knights. Toby Sexton's presence at halfback bolstered their attack, while Viliame Kikau aims to make a comeback from a pectoral injury.

With a bye week behind them, the Dogs, fresh from a 23-22 triumph over the Dolphins, are ready for the challenge.
