The Newcastle Knights are set to take on the Sydney Roosters at the McDonald Jones Stadium in Round 15 of the National Rugby League (NRL) season.

The Knights have had a rather disappointing season so far as they have only managed to take five wins so far from 13 games in the home-and-away season. Two of those wins have come in their last five games however, and they are looking to have a strong second half of their season with the fight for top eight looking really difficult, as they are currently sitting 15th on the ladder.

The Roosters also had a similarly poor start to the season as they only managed to take home one win through their opening five games. However, through their last seven games they have managed to grab four wins, to push themselves up into 10th place on the NRL ladder.

The Sporting News is on hand to bring you all the latest TV, scheduling and live streaming information ahead of this match.
