Greg Prichard writes: The Knights are in all sorts of trouble. They lost two in a row before their first bye, and then lost three straight coming out of it. Now they are coming out of their second bye. The Tigers won seven in a row before losing to the Roosters last weekend, when captain Robbie Farah was a late withdrawal following his mother’s death. Expect the Tigers to be very hard to beat here.
AAP writes: The Knights are experiencing one of the toughest periods in their proud history and a win any way they can get it will be a godsend. But they, including coach Wayne Bennett, look clueless as how to achieve that. The Tigers will be highly motivated to put a tough week behind them with an emphatic win and that will move Bennett closer to an almost unthinkable wooden spoon.
Key: Robbie Farah. The grieving hooker has asked to play but a final decision on his availability will be made closer to kick-off.
