NRL: Sydney Roosters v Newcastle Knights At The SCG

This particular fixture has become one of the most anticipated clashes of the year since several high-profile former Roosters headed up the highway to become Knights.

Mitchell Pearce, Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Aidan Guerra all won premierships with the tri-colours but now call Newcastle home, adding plenty of feeling to this important match-up.

Roosters halfback Cooper Cronk will rise to the challenge as he goes head-to-head with the man he usurped at Bondi Junction, Mitchell Pearce, and is aware the Knights will hold nothing back in their search for victory.

Inspirational hard-man Jarrod Waerea-Hargreaves will have his hands full with new Newcastle recruit David Klemmer in a must-watch battle of the forwards, while Kalyn Ponga trading blows with James Tedesco from the respective fullback positions will be something to watch.
