The Warriors and Knights are coming off of impressive victories in round one, with a consistent run of form now on the minds of both clubs. Expect a high scoring affair in this one, as the last two meetings between these clubs have resulted in a blowout. In round one last year, the Knights put 20 points on the Warriors without conceding in return, however; the Warriors would have their fun in round 16, beating Newcastle 36-6 in Tamworth.
