It's a simple equation for the One New Zealand Warriors' New South Wales Cup side today - they have to beat the Knights in their final regular season clash to make the playoffs.
The home side goes into the contest level on 34 points with the Sydney Roosters but sixth on points for and against differential.
The Roosters have ended their campaign with a bye leaving the Warriors in control of determining whether they make the top five.
It will be a challenge, though, facing the third-placed Knights.
The Warriors also have a changed lineup with regulars Luke Laulilii, Jett Cleary and Luke Hanson all turning out for the club's NRL side against the Knights.
Harry Tauafiafi comes onto the wing for Laulilii with Maui Winitana-Patelesio and Jack Thompson the new halves pairing.
