Newcastle Knights host the Penrith Panthers at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday, in what shapes as one of the most lopsided matchups of the round.</span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;" dir="ltr"><span

Knights have been one of the early-season surprise packets but fell apart in the second half against the Roosters last week, conceding 26 unanswered points in a concerning second half capitulation.</span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:12pt;" dir="ltr"><span

their Round 7 performance they lost Thomas Cant, which has left Justin Holbrook’s side seriously searching for depth for this clash.</span></p><p

Panthers scraped by the Dolphins with a one-point win in golden point thanks to Nathan Cleary’s heroics, and they welcome back Casey McLean into the side.</span></p><p
