Knights aim for third straight finals appearance, facing tough Raiders after recent close wins.
The Knights have breathed life back into their season with heart-stopping wins in two of their past three games and will look to make another statement this weekend against the high-flying Raiders.
With home games against Canberra, Melbourne and the Warriors across the next month, Kalyn Ponga and his men have a gilt-edged opportunity to take some big scalps and give the Newcastle faithful reason to believe a third straight finals appearance is a realistic goal.
Standing in their way is a Raiders outfit that sits comfortably in second place on the ladder and still has two byes up its sleeve to bank four more points and rest weary bodies.
