NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
- Newcastle Knights have produced a stunning run of form and booked their spot in the finals with an eighth straight win last week, accounting for Cronulla Sharks with another impressive display.
- The Knights have turned their season around in spectacular fashion and will aim to keep their winning streak intact but they must do so without key man Kalyn Ponga who is not risked after copping a shoulder injury last week.

THE PREDICTION
St. George Illawarra Dragons will be eager to see the back of this season but will want to end on a high having lost their last five. They face a daunting task against a Newcastle Knights side that come into this having won their last eight and will be full of confidence ahead of competing in the finals. The loss of Kalyn Ponga is a big one but the away side should have enough in reserve to get the job done here and claim an incredible ninth successive victory.
