40‘ – Second half underway with the Dragons receiving the ball and making good metres to start.

Cannot believe that was called forward, Pearce was away for all money. That would have made things interesting heading into the second half.

Half Time
40‘ – The Dragons are firing in both attack and defence and not doing too much wrong. The Knights need to fight back and tighten their defensive screws, that would be the focus of Nathan Brown at half time.
Look to Newcastle to give the ball to the likes of Ross and Ponga more in attack. Herman Ese’ese needs to find his front more with Slade Griffin hoping to pave the way for the Knights forwards in the second half.
Dragons should go on with it in the second half on the back of plenty of support play. Look to them to continue to isolate Brock Lamb. Dragons should score another three, however if Newcastle are the next to score, this game will be very intriguing.

Penalty Goal
36‘ – Dragons with a penalty and penalty goal after Newcastle had the chance to score.
Widdop now 4/4. Brock Lamb looks very flat and Newcastle would be better looking to Ponga for more attacking options.

The Dragons are rolling here. The Knights need to complete a set to stem possession, too many errors. Dragons are attacking with their defence.

Update on Tautau Moga with a possible ACL injury. He will not return and looks as if he will be gone for the season for Newcastle. A bad weekend for ACL injuries in the NRL after yesterdays game with the Sea Eagles.

Could not agree more, the signing of Ponga will surely lure more star power to Newcastle in further years to come.

5‘ Try – Kalyn Ponga weaving some magic off the penalty, offloading to Tautau Moga who crosses the line for the Knights. Big first points and the Dragons right side defence looks in trouble early. Moga is injured in the process and heads straight to the shed.

With Ben Hunt’s form, should he be considered an option for QLD?
