Knights coach Adam O'Brien is well aware of the attacking threat posed by the Gold Coast Titans.
His side has been on the receiving end of two hidings since he came into the job last year with the Titans racking up a total of 78 points in two humiliating wins.
One of those was in the final round last season - a 36-6 trouncing that cost the Knights a home semifinal against South Sydney.
But while conceding his side faces another huge defensive test tomorrow night on the Sunshine Coast, a renewed focus on improving the Knights attack has been at the heart of preparations this week for the game after a barrage of recent criticism.
"We've certainly done some work this week on what we want our attack to look like," O'Brien said.
"We don't want to lose our love for defence but I feel like we have certainly identified some areas where we can be a lot better with our use of the footy. We've done some work to get us all back on the same track and a bit more connected and less frazzled.
"I'm confident we'll see that this week."
Getting fullback Kalyn Ponga and centre Bradman Best the football in good areas has been part of the focus.
While his involvement was high against the Bulldogs last weekend, Ponga's brilliance was largely nullified and he rarely threatened.
"It was more to do with us then KP," O'Brien said. "It wasn't through lack of want on his part. He was trying to create something but we went away from the plan. We just have to be better at where we give him the ball and the same goes with Bradman.
"We've certainly been working on plans to bring them into the game in far better areas."
As expected, O'Brien named a largely unchanged side for the clash with the return of backrower Tyson Frizell from suspension cancelled out by the loss of suspended prop David Klemmer.
With Daniel Saifiti still sidelined, Jesse Sue has been promoted to the starting lineup in place of Klemmer with Brodie Jones dropping back to the bench to accommodate Frizell's inclusion.
The only possible change to the 17 could be the promotion of Jack Johns at the expense of Chris Randall.
"I'm waiting to see if Jack gets through with his shoulder," O'Brien said.
"He hasn't done very much contact after injuring his AC joint but if he's ready, he could come into contention for a bench spot. I just want to really consider what is the best make-up for our team before making a final decision. Either way, we'll put a team out there that's capable of winning, I know that. It's a big game for us and obviously, they are going to be right up for it because it's a big game for them too."
On the Titans attack, O'Brien said: "They have got plenty of trick-shots in them that we need to be aware of - we have seen them - so we need to be prepared for anything there.
"They'll shift it off a tap, they'll pass off kick-offs - they have a bagful of tricks and they can score points quickly if they are allowed to get on a roll."
