Newcastle Knights vs New Zealand Warriors Preview

The Warriors have shown promise this season, even in the games they have lost. That said, their enthusiasm wears off quickly, like the NRL game against the Titans where they kicked things off with an early 12-0 lead but were unable to sustain their momentum and lost a game that was right in their palm.

The Warriors are the better team on paper and haave had their glorious moments this season. But they just can’t seem to carry their skill and enthusiasm through out the game. They’re prone to falling short in defense and are poor at handling errors. This could be a problem when they face the Knights, who have a solid defense and keep strictly to their gameplans.

Newcastle pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season, beating the Dolphins 18-14. Their home advantage will give them an edge, and they should be able to defeat the Warriors convincingly.
