Last week the Knights were hammered by defending premiers the Roosters, while the Dragons copped a flogging at the hands the Raiders. Newcastle will need to bounce back and will be out to win their two remaining games before the finals, whilst the Dragons players will be looking to impress new incoming coach Anthony Griffin and show why they should remain at the club after an average season.
