2019 Jersey Flegg Cup

10-4 after 20 minutes

The Thunderbolts got a 12-12 draw against the Warriors in NZ. Massive result for them to draw with a top 8 side after we thrashed them by 50 last game.
 
14-6 to the Knights after 27. Toby Marks get his second for today and 4th in 2 weeks.
 
Knights have interchanged all 3 middles, so Maá, Sheppherd and Baker are on for Ticehurst, Cameron and Watene
 
second row Hamilton is off for HIA - Watene back on the field after 2 minutes on bench.
 
20-6 to the Knights at halftime. second row Ben Talty scored with 1 minute to halftime.
 
Moon comes on with 3 minutes to go - maybe the nippy little guy can pinch a try, or maybe they just want to give him some game time.
 
Fulltime
28-16 win to the 6th placed Knights over 7th placed Souths.
We should go up 1 place by jumping over whoever loses between Penrith and Roosters, but we are only a few points off second place with a really crowded top of the table.
 
3rd placed Raiders have lost to 9th placed Wests, so we jump over them and probably should jump into the top 4 when the round is finished.

The Newcastle Knights Jersey Flegg side have defeated South Sydney 28-16 at Redfern Oval.

Ben Talty and Toby Marks stole the show with two tries each as Scott Dureau’s men continue to climb the ladder with their seventh win of the season slotting them into third place.

Completing at 79 percent, the Knights were rock solid.

The Rabbitohs showed defensive steel to start the game before going close to scoring through Ky Rodwell, only for the prop forward to be held up.

With the home side missing an opportunity, the Knights struck first with Jack Cameron crashing under the posts.

They continued the momentum with a left-hand shift resulting in Toby Marks adding his name to the try scorers list.

The home side responded through Lachlan Ilias but their joy was short lived.

Capitalising on the Rabbitohs’ errors, the visitors crossed again through Marks who extended the lead 14-6 after 24 minutes.

Minutes before the break, Ben Talty crossed to give the Knights a handy lead.

A break in play for the Rabbitohs led to a try when Nicholas Mougios hurdled his way over the line.

With 53 percent of possession, the Knights responded just minutes later when Talty secured his double.

Knights No.7 Cameron Davies nailed a penalty goal to kick four from six for the day.

Rabbitohs five-eighth Bradley Zampech sliced over with 10 minutes remaining but it was too little, too late for the home side.
