Newcastle Knights target back-to-back wins at home to launch the 2019 NRL season when they play host to Penrith Panthers in Round 2 action on Saturday.

After their prized scalp of the Sharks last week, can the Knights start the season with consecutive wins on their own turf when they square off against the Panthers on Saturday?

It wasn’t the cleanest of performances by any means, but the Knights showed they can dig deep and scrap out a win as they conquered Cronulla by a 14-8 scoreline.

Cronulla had just beaten them convincingly in a trial match a couple of weeks prior, so it was a nice response from Nathan Brown’s side.

David Klemmer was especially impressive in his debut for Newcastle, running for 218m off 20 hit-ups and racking up 33 tackles – if he can produce those numbers again, it will allow halves Mitchell Pearce and Kalyn Ponga to work their magic.

Penrith meanwhile were determined to let their on-field work do the talking after a nightmare off-season, but they were disjointed and all over the place as they were defeated 20-12 by rivals Parramatta.

The Panthers got off to a slow start last season and they will want to avoid playing catch-up again in 2019 as they set their sights on a top four spot.

The battle of the halves is the most intriguing sub-plot of this clash, with NSW incumbents James Maloney and Nathan Cleary coming up against current Queensland rising star Ponga and former Blues half Pearce. Cleary and Ponga in particular is a rivalry that could dominate inside the NRL and Origin arena for the next decade.

Penrith have won three of their last four games between the teams, but Newcastle prevailed 20-12 in their last clash in Round 23 in 2018. This Newcastle team is much improved from years gone by, and after the respective displays from both sides in Round 1, I think they’re favourites for this one. The Panthers were far from their best and struggled for any kind of rhythm, while the Knights impressed while also knowing they have another gear to go to. At home, I’m backing another Newcastle win on Saturday.
