The Newcastle Knights prepare to play the South Sydney Rabbitohs this Friday in a pivotal NRL finals matchup. Newcastle enters the game with a depleted roster due to season-ending injuries to Dylan Brown, Dylan Lucas, and Trey Mooney, alongside the suspension of Jacob Saifiti. Despite these absences, the Knights see the return of Tyson Frizell and Phoenix Crossland to the lineup. Coach Justin Holbrook must adjust his game plan against a South Sydney side featuring a strong middle rotation of Tevita Tatola, Keaon Koloamatangi, and Cameron Murray. Success for Newcastle likely depends on the performance of wingers Dominic Young and Greg Marzhew, who have historically influenced results when exceeding 150 running metres each.
