The Newcastle Knights will be looking to continue their recent good form while the Brisbane Broncos will be hoping to arrest their previous two losses in tonight’s Round 7 blockbuster at Hunter Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 7:40pm (AEST).

The Knights, who sit thirteenth on the ladder, will be looking to build on their recent victory in the nation’s capital and will buoyed by the mid-week resigning of Jarrod Mullen for a further four years.

The Broncos on the other hand, are coming off back-to-back loses and will be desperately trying to recapture their early season form which saw them win three out of their first four.

Last year the Knights ended the Broncos slim hope of playing finals football by beating them in their Round 25 clash 26-18. Prior to this in Round 21, both teams shared the spoils after an epic contest resulted in an 18 all draw.

Key match-ups tonight include the (Wayne Bennett appointed) NRL’s form forward Beau Scott up against Sam Thaiday, who has never looked as fit as what he does now compared to his previous seasons at Red Hill.

Joseph Leilua, who will be looking to continue the form which many good judges rate as Origin quality up against the incumbent Queensland centre Justin Hodges, returning in his third match back since rupturing his achilles.

Both sides will field close to near full strength outfits and this contest will likely be decided towards the back-end of the second half with either an individual player’s brilliance or (gulp) a refereeing error likely to decide the contest.

Can Newcastle string consecutive victories together for the first time this season or will the Broncos rediscover their resolve and bury the Knights on their home turf?
