AAP writes: Newcastle coach Wayne Bennett is expecting far more from his side this year than in his first season in charge. Tigers opposite Mick Potter is under pressure to spark a side that underachieved last season and has lost a number of key players. But they still possess two of the most influential players in Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah.
The Knights are keen to make their home a fortress again but the Tigers have significant motivation of their own following the tragic death of Mosese Fotuaika.
