Hastings opens scoring
Newcastle are over.
Jackson Hastings has crashed over after an excellent run from Bradman Best put the home side on the attack.
It was all a little too easy for Hastings, a former Rooster, in the end.
Knights lead 6-0 after as many minutes.
Jenko leads Roosters out
Talk about an act of a defiance.
The Roosters have ignored all the negative headlines about then letting Michael Jennings return to the game after a very public court case involving his ex-wife.
The club made sure he led the team out for his 300th game.
Marzhew is back
Greg Marzhew is back from a broke injury in a big boost for the Knights.
Wasn’t this bloke meant to be out for up to two months. He was only out a few weeks. One tough hombre.
Welcome to Newcastle
Evening, footy fans.
So who wins tonight?
The Knights completed well in awful conditions in front of an excellent home crowd last week.
The Roosters are without James Tedesco ,Sam Walker and the suspended Dominic Young.
The Bondi boys have a brilliant roster. They should be performing a lot better.
For what it is worth, I like the Knights by four points.
Gamble responsibly.
Jenko 300
Michael Jennings has generated plenty of headlines about his 300th.
Michael Jennings celebrates 300 games.
The 35-year-old will need to be at his best if the Roosters are to win.
A huge car convoy has started in Mt Druitt to celebrate ‘Jenko’s’ milestone. A lot of Tongan fans have gathered to start driving around and tooting their horns as part of the celebrations.
