Show Preview
The Newcastle Knights are at home to the Parramatta Eels and will be happy to focus on football after the re-signing of Kalyn Ponga this week. Join The Roar for live scores from 2pm AEST.
In their four-game losing streak over the past month, Newcastle have been asleep to start matches.
They have scored just 10 points in the first half of those games and they looked particularly clueless last weekend in Wollongong against the Dragons.
The return of Adam Clune from a knee injury will help give them cohesion in attack.
For the Eels, Ryan Matterson has been hampered by concussions and leg injuries the past couple of seasons but Matterson has gone from a NSW Origin squad member to a fringe starter at the Eels.
Brad Arthur played him 56 minutes off the bench on Monday against the Tigers and he produced a season-high 158 running metres and 30 tackles so the talent and output is still there, he just needs to string a few of those kinds of games together.
Junior Paulo is back from suspension at prop, Marata Nikuoke (leg) is out while Reagan Campbell-Gillard is hopeful of overcoming an ankle problem.
Kick-off: 2:00pm (AEST)
