Scouting Report
Knights
Knights don't have an obvious attacking tendency — they're comfortable playing multiple ways.
Their boot work has been tactical and varied. No single pattern to predict.
Cause for concern: struggling to put points on the board.
1 player unavailable (1 injured, 0 suspended). Manageable.
3 players showing fatigue (fitness below 60) — could be rested or underperform.
Playing at home — should feed off the crowd.
Hawks
Hawks are a well-rounded side who change their attack based on the opposition.
Their boot work has been tactical and varied. No single pattern to predict.
Edge over the opponent: outscoring opponents comfortably.
1 player unavailable (1 injured, 0 suspended). Manageable.
Tactical Battle
Neither side has an obvious style to exploit. This will come down to execution on the day rather than tactics.
Matthew Ridge (Fullback) has been one of the form players of the comp. But Mason Lino (Halfback) won't be far behind. This head-to-head will be fascinating.
Where to Target
The Prop role is where Knights look most vulnerable. Hawks will have done their homework.
On paper, Hawks' Wing stocks are the weakest link. That's where the damage could be done.
Scoring
Hawks' goal kicker is in outstanding form (83%). That 2-point difference adds up over 80 minutes.
Momentum
Knights desperately need a win to stop the rot. Expect them to come out fired up.
