AAP writes: Both of these sides chalked up impressive first-round wins, with the Knights racking up the biggest victory since Wayne Bennett's arrival with a 42-10 crushing of the Wests Tigers.


Manly were comfortable victors in Brisbane, but will face an altogether bigger test in the first home game of the year. Akuila Uate, Dane Gagai and James McManus had a field day against the Tigers and will be a huge test for the Sea Eagles.


Key: Brett Stewart is the best defensive fullback in the game, and he will need to be at his best to curtail the threat of a rejuvenated Darius Boyd, who looked back to his best in round one.
