Gold Coast Titans vs Newcastle Knights Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: NRL Round 11, 2024

The Gold Coast Titans take on the Newcastle Knights in the 11th round of games in the NRL on Saturday. This season has been rough on the Titans who are just a spot away from the bottom of the rankings.

They will look to beat the Knights at Suncorp Stadium to register their first back to back win of the season. The Titans have had some serious problems with consistency.

That isn’t just referring to their form. They have been unable to sustain momentum through the course of a match. That almost cost them their last match against the Cowboys, who closed the gap on Gold Coasts 20-0 first-half lead, scoring 18 points in the second half with no response from the Titans. The game ended with a 20-18 win for Gold Coast, who were no doubt relieved.

The Newcastle Knights have won their last three games. Jacob Saifiti will be making a comeback, which is great news for the Knights and a needed addition to their line-up. Meanwhile the Titans won't have four important players (AJ Brimson, Keiran Foran, Phillip Samia and Harley Smith-Shields).

This will be a low-scoring contest, and despite the Knights having a tough start to the season, their recent form suggests that they will be too much for the Titans and will secure a much needed victory.
