Live: Knights pushing for top four spot against Titans
Newcastle will look to stay in the top four hunt when they host Gold Coast in the first of two NRL matches on Sunday. Follow live.
The New South Wales Knights are making a strong push for a top four finish in the National Rugby League (NRL) season as they prepare to host the Gold Coast Titans on Sunday. The Knights' performance so far has been impressive, with a 6-0 lead over the Titans after just two minutes of play. Lock James Smith has been instrumental in the Knights' early success, securing crucial tackles and set pieces to drive the team forward.
The Knights' star forward, Adam Mooney, capitalized on a break to score the first try of the match, putting the home side ahead by ten points with less than a minute on the clock. This dominant start has given the Knights confidence heading into the remainder of the game, as they aim to secure a vital victory in their pursuit of top-four honors.
The Titans, on the other hand, are fighting for pride in their match as they prepare to face the Wests Tigers later in the day. With two key changes to their backline - the return of Bradman Best and the introduction of Jaylen de Groot in the wing position - the Titans are looking to end a difficult run of losses and potentially avenge their shocking defeat against the Dragons earlier this year.
As the action unfolds on Sunday, fans can expect high-quality rugby with both teams pushing for a positive result. The Knights remain determined to secure their place in the top four, while the Titans aim to end their losing streak and make a statement in their upcoming fixture against the Tigers.
