Sunday, 28th of March, 4.05 pm, Round 3, McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle, Newcastle Knights versus Wests Tigers, NRL Match Fixture
Newcastle has been on a roll thus far in 2021, demolishing the Bulldogs in round one and getting the job done in round two in large part due to their impressive forward pack. The Tigers on the other hand are yet to win a game this season, after a tough first two games up against competition heavyweights the Raiders and Roosters. A win for the Knights in this one will see them emerge as early-season premiership contenders and the Tigers drop down to possible wooden spooners.
