The Titans will host Newcastle in round two of the NRL Telstra Women's Premiership after a mixed start to the season for both sides in their opening hit-outs.
Gold Coast got off to a poor start against the Dragons in Wollongong with ill-discipline costing them dearly while the Knights had a night to remember, recording their first-ever NRLW victory with a win over the Broncos.
A seven-day turnaround awaits for both sides with the Titans in particular out to ensure they bounce back and give coach Karyn Murphy her first win at the club.
Meanwhile, the Knights will want to make sure their round one result wasn't a one-off with an away trip to Queensland providing the perfect chance to test their resilience on the road.
Both these sides met earlier this year with the Titans escaping with a 14-10 victory in the final round of the regular season.
Only six players remain in Newcastle colours from that afternoon, showing the recruitment drive the Knights have undergone since April.

Key match-up
Lauren Brown v Jesse Southwell: A tough start for Brown at the Titans sets up an intriguing battle against Southwell, who stole the show in Newcastle against the Broncos. Brown will be better for the run after her first attempt in the halves but overall the Titans will have to be on alert for Southwell and her right step that has everyone talking. Southwell's best asset at 17 is her ability to control a game. She showed glimpses on debut and expect that to continue.
Stat attack
The Titans (66%) and Knights (69%) had the worst completion rates in round one while they conceded nine and eight penalties respectively in discipline areas both coaches will want to correct on Sunday. Newcastle still managed 34 points in attack, showing their ability to not only throw the ball around but defend their errors.
