Sunday, May 31, 4.05 PM, Round 3 Campbelltown Stadium, Penrith Panthers take on Newcastle Knights NRL Match Preview
The Panthers and the Knights head into this one undefeated, both teams started well this season with the Panthers beating the Dragons and Roosters showing a lot more promise in attack, the Knights showing promise in attack and defence this season beating the Wests Tigers and the Warriors.
There are lots of positional changes that might impact the outcome of this game, never the less it will be very entertaining and competitive.
