Newcastle made the finals once again in 2024 and only narrowly missed out on progressing through to the second week when they went down to North Queensland.
Kalyn Ponga was often the star of the show for the Knights but the club's talisman hasn't been able to save the side this time around after he was struck down by injury midway through the campaign.
Adam O'Brien has come under increasing pressure in the Hunter and will be desperately trying to avoid a rotten run home as a potential wooden spoon looms large.
The Sporting News takes a look at the Newcastle Knights' 2025 NRL draw below.
