With both sides claiming just one win from the first three rounds, this is a big clash as the Knights and Dragons bring a close to Round 4 on Sunday night.
Newcastle easily could have been 3-0, but they lost by a combined margin of just nine points to the Panthers and Raiders over the last fortnight, following from their opening round win over Cronulla.
The Kalyn Ponga five-eighth experiment is over for the time being, with the supremely talented young gun moving back to his more natural position of fullback, meaning Mason Lino comes into the halves alongside Mitchell Pearce and Kurt Mann drops back to the bench.
Most Knights fans are in favour of Ponga shifting back to the No. 1 jersey, while Pearce will now be allowed total control of the halves.
Meanwhile, the Dragons surprised nearly everybody with their lightning quick start against the Broncos last week, racing out to a 12-0 lead at Suncorp and hanging on for a 25-24 victory as Corey Norman slotted over a last-gasp field goal.
It was a much-needed first win of the season for the Dragons, who can now get their season rolling as they look to keep pace with the top eight. Paul McGregor has been forced into one change, with the injured Gareth Widdop replaced at fullback by Matt Dufty, while Tyson Frizell could be a late inclusion after being named in the reserves.
The Dragons have won seven of their last eight meetings, but I think Newcastle have the edge at home in this one. Ponga will be much more dangerous at fullback when he can pop up when he pleases instead of having the responsibility of needing to create. It will be close, but I’m backing the Knights to get the job done.
