Wests out to keep touch with Newcastle Rugby League top five - Newc...

If there’s one thing Wests can take into their clash with leaders Maitland today it is the confidence of knowing they’ve already beaten the Pickers this season. In fact, the Rosellas remain the only side to defeat the two-time defending premiers in 2024. But that’s where the challenge now appears to lie. Since their 36-30 win in round three, which remains the only match Wests have played at Harker Oval this year, Maitland have built towards the type of form that resulted in them knocking-off…

Newcastle will unleash English playmaker Will Pryce as coach Adam O’Brien looks to spark his side’s attack against a struggling Parramatta outfit on Saturday.

Ex-NRL player Nathan Ross' close to return for Wests Rosellas - New...

Wests coach Rick Stone expects former NRL player Nathan Ross to make his first start in the coming rounds but “probably not this week”. Ross, who made 60 appearances for the Knights between 2015-18, has been recovering from a pre-season hamstring injury that required surgery. He is yet to feature for the Rosellas, who he linked with late last year. “He is working towards it. He is back at training,” Stone said. “Probably not this week, hopefully next week. “He was back to full training this…

Knights face Penrith minus Cleary in crucial NRL clash - Newcastle ...

IT was a performance that earned them a rousing “New-cas-tle” chant after they were beaten in golden-point extra time. Newcastle’s 16-15 loss to Penrith at McDonald Jones Stadium last year was the closest they’d come to beating the Panthers since a 14-14 draw at Campbelltown during the COVID-impacted 2020 season. It was also the closest they’d come to defeating Penrith at home since their last victory in 2015. Indeed, the Knights have beaten the Panthers just once in their past 13 games - at…

The Newcastle Knights look set to welcome back big-name Bradman Best and Daniel Saifiti for Sunday’s clash with the Penrith Panthers.

It will be Mapapalangi’s first match in the top grade since making the second of his two consecutive career appearances at the back end of the 2022 campaign.

Ponga’s father and manager, Andre, is understood to have raised issues with the deal and met with the NRL in recent weeks. The Sydney Morning Herald reported on Monday night that Ponga was potentially out of pocket a six-figure sum. But the N…
