The Cutters currently sit third on the ladder following their 40-24 victory over Newcastle last week and can build an important three-point buffer on the fourth-placed Jets with a win on Friday.
They also sit just one win adrift of equal competition leaders New Zealand who they play after a bye next weekend.
The Cutters will be high on confidence heading into the clash following their win over the Knights.
The Knights led 12-0 after just eight minutes on the back of tries to Chanel Mata’utia and David Bhana before Hame Sele took back momentum with his 23rd minute four-pointer.
Sam Coster’s first try levelled things up at 12-all before Kiti Glymin’s long-range effort took the lead on the stroke of halftime.
Levi Dodd , Shannon Wakeman, Quinlan and Coster all scored in the second to claim the 40-24 win.
