Canberra Raiders and Newcastle Knights clash for the first time in over a year when they meet in NRL Round 3 action on Friday night.

Canberra and Newcastle do battle for the first time since Round 2 last year as the two teams look to improve to 2-1 starts to the 2019 season on Friday night in the nation’s capital.

Both sides have been pretty impressive to launch the new season, with the Raiders winning their opening game easily against the Titans, before running into a red-hot Melbourne outfit last week, while the Knights scored an opening round win over Cronulla, but couldn’t hold on as they slipped to a two-point defeat to the Panthers in Round 2.

Defence has been the big area of improvement for the Raiders, with the Green Machine not conceding a single point against the

 Titans, while a lot of other sides would have leaked more than 22 against last week’s Storm side.

Ricky Stuart has been forced into making a change this week, with Joe Tapine out injured for two weeks with a broken thumb. John Bateman slips into the back-row, with Ryan Sutton coming into the starting side and Hudson Young claiming a spot on the bench.

Nathan Brown has named an unchanged team from his side that narrowly went down to the Panthers, with David Klemmer quickly becoming a cult hero for Hunter side.

Klemmer ran for 198 metres last week, making 21 hit-ups and 34 tackles without a single miss, while he also leads the NRL in post-contact metres this season. If Klemmer can keep chalking up those numbers, it will allow Kalyn Ponga and Mitchell Pearce the space and time they need to work their magic in the halves.

Newcastle won their only clash last year 30-28, while their last seven meetings have topped over 48 points. However, with both sides having improve defensively, this could be quite a low-scoring contest. It should be a close battle, but I’m liking what I’m seeing so far from the Raiders in 2019. I think they’ll edge this one.
