Nick meany the fullback GE he’s been super impressive in every opportunity he’s had it’s kickoff here and you’re right Al Tong they’ve gone for the short one and so Lawler it is that’s come down with it again we’ve seen that last week he’s got a crystal ball already Alan

Tong Knights are going to really chance their arm at the back end of this season now Stone has the football 12 M out great opportunity starting the game for the nights to go straight on the attack Starling creative atad back to coger on to me and now gets to the side of Henry

Pen with the football Knights have got plenty of strength in their centers and the battle of the Titans KN up against the knights in the centers alone will be a highlight now Zack hosking with the football plays it 9 M out Knights are spread out to the open side on the left

Butterfield plays it back and the Knights have quick moved it quickly to meany who is a strike weapon for them fifth tackle now the KN to be looking for a repeat set of six in better than that out they get a penalty oh well we’ve gone a short kick off for shift

For a shift the knights have come to play some football and now Big C burnard just trying to hold that momentum down with a Newcastle Knights quick tap taping in here now Knights are want to they want to play some uptempo loves the TR line big Butterfield come off the

Bench last week Todd Larry said he was his best front rower and he started him today Starling now gets the ball away Robson turns it back up to Coga me quickly onto pen pen to the outside good defense there by the go Coast Titans and WRA up there in John Olive using that

NRL experience hos resetting it for the nights they spread out to the left hand side a wobbly I’ll play the ball kogan now gets it on to the 58 and Newman and Newman just trying to get him go forward here for the knights trying to set up on

Both sides of the rck through Butterfield he wants the ball again Newman now he’s got it quickly onto Stone and the contact you can hear there very good from the 58 in Rogers it’s again a bit of ill discipline they’re saying that there was a lifting tackle bewildered some of the Titans but

Referee Phil Henderson says that that was a dangerous tackle and more pressure for the Titans yeah didn’t look like there was too much in it but in that dangerous position as you spoke about and and another set of six for the Gold Coast Titans once again the penalty this time

Breaking the ball out that the Titans haven’t spin the footy at all where 2 and 1/2 minutes in you would think when you’re receiving from a kickoff you’d get some early possession but you not for the Titans today and the kns continue to put the pressure on Butterfield still pumping the legs he

Plays it a meter out just next to the upright good setup play for the nin back behind the rck chance here at the line it could be the lock forward I think in Robson jeez dangerous near the line the Titans did a good job to drag him down

But they’re a bit stripped to the right hand side Knights just got a little out of syn then with Henry pen getting in front of mean so they’ll have to seed to the tackle reset to the center field now Amy with the football let him out today between

Himself and Koga they lead this team around the park here’s Starling flat pass to Butterfield the nephew of the great Tony Butterfield staying on his feet they did a good job to slow it down there though the Titans fifth tackle Koga goes to the line grabbes it in behind fantastic play

There by AJ brimson good in attack and particularly good in defense on this occasion his positional play was fantastic he didn’t want to put his side under any more pressure there and now they get a relieving penalty the Titans well they’ve had four sets of six on their TR line there tackling and

Tackling and finally they get the football great positional play as I spoke about with AJ brimson he juggled the football but he just held on to it at the back end and now much needed penalty coming out but you can see just that breeze there kicking for the touch

Line from the goal Coast Titans M possession that they’re facing at the sff Breeze tough start beautiful sunshine here in Newcastle but real bite to the breeze and as you said it’s going to be a factor aiding the knights in the first half and in the first half of the Titans

It’ll be a bit of a battle now here’s Big Bernard there’s plenty of rum stake out there with now football out to Josh Rogers turning it back inside Titans going down the middle of the field there f with the ball he’s 38 m move to the left hand side this

Combination between the Rogers and brimon look how quick he is still going flicks it back inside and the TR scorer triple last week first to score today is the halfback in Josh Ralph well how quickly it can turn around the Newcastle Knights had all the possession down the

Other end of the field and couldn’t crack this defensive steel of the goal Coast Titans a half opportunity brimson he had plenty of work to do he bounces out of Henry pen he made a couple errors there last week defensively and back on the inside Josh Ralph we spoke about in

His in the pregame about how important he is a player to watch and in particular his support play and how well he is doing in that area of his game he always finds himself in and around the football he gives himself the best opportunity to get his hands on the

Footy and what an opening play here from the goal Coast Titans their real first real set of six was pretty much straight through the middle until AJ brimson injects himself in the backline Josh Ralph great support play back up the middle that’s the opening Point Al you’ve given

That crystal ball a really good scrub you’ve put him down as you player to watch and you said AJ brion’s the danger and it was the halfback and Josh Ralph puts it down he’s been a tric scoring machine he even had the windscreen WIP was going after he put it down we’ll

Have to get you to give us an update on what that post-t TR celebration is there the extra two points is added as well so it is the Titans they’re under enormous pressure for the first 5 minutes with the Knights putting all the heat on how quickly as you say how quickly it

Changes and that’s a real big blow to the kns yeah it is and and I’ll be interested to see again do they go with a short kickoff or what’s their mentality I know they want to throw the football around I think it’s getting set up here like they are going to go short

And they do again why not they’ve gone to the well and it’s brought dividends before this time the Titans are well and truly onto it in MA Christian flies High comes up with the football got such height as well not only soaa but Cory Dennis tall lanky player for the knights

Titans now just got it back into the grooves back over the halfway line that’s the problem with the short kickoff gives the opposition opportunity to get into your half now Rogers dancing around some spiders on them at the moment a couple of the Titans players brimson and Rogers Knights need to

Improve their first Contact pass was forward yep the touchd to a wonderful job to see that there was just that temptation to hit flat at the line from Bernard a couple of erors early starting normally coming off the bench again not completing the set of six after Point

Yeah and just overrunning the mark there you can see in the touches they got it right he ran straight over the top of young Tommy Starling Kurt Bernard he’s done a wonderful job coming off the bench he’s he’s 120 odd kilos played in the junior keyways this year he’s

Provided plenty of impact Off the Bench he probably hasn’t played as many minutes I think as what coach Benwolf would like but a big start needed bring him into the starting side but been basically defending the whole first six or seven minutes of this game so we

Haven’t got to see too much of him with the ball in hand big Kurt bur tell you what he’s from the Altona roosters a little Club down there in Victoria in Melbourne also got tanoa brown coming off the bench they can produce some football as the Altona Roost as they be

Listening in down there this morning now the knights just trying to reset it through Sam Stone step back into some heavy traffic from Titans defense Starling now he’s the creative one for them back to Koga straightening the attack and he gets an offload he’s meany off the back of that offload looking for

Space on the left hand side their second phase foot is good tonight when they can get a little bit of momentum with that they make a difference Butterfield screaming for the foot he wants to go forward now he gets it quickly moves it to Koga good play Here by Starling who

Readjusted to the outside cuz he SE some space H playing in the far right hand Corridor fifth tackle now the knights down the through Coga decides to run and see some space kicks it back inside it Ricochet AJ brimson eventually got onto the footies opportunity there for Canoa

G they run the footy chanting their hand again n paid off for them yeah once again they’re just they’re looking to play some football but giving away a penalty they did this last time and Ralph and bson they they cut them to Pieces down the other end of the field after a

Penalty defensively they need to be much better but once again they’re trying to play some footy last play running it there the football bouncing around like a pinball but once again brimson in great field position to get that footing might have to get you to slip down at

Half time and replace the whistle very busy early the referee wanting to lay down the discipline here’s Bernard with the footy also through Glenora as a junior Glenora to the Altona roosters there’s a heap of him over the halfway line now the Titans Keen in in defense

Butterfield chasing out of marker to put some pressure on now they come to the right hand side move quickly F strong also with footy in hand they go back to the open side big Mach King with the footy grandson of the great Johnny King Australia’s great TR scorers goes right

To the line the Titans tried to thread the needle to the outside I think he might have skewed a little off the side of his boot there Rogers and in the end it was very dangerous trickled into touch yeah well was a right play actually he took the football right to

The line it’s a tough kick when you’re you’re charging at the line that hard and then trying to get a soft kick on the back end of it it’s a it’s a hard kick to execute but if he had have got it right Christian M he was right on the

Money there too so Josh Rogers and and Josh Ralph the two halves are really troubling the nice defensive line early Glory Dennis with his first touch of the afternoon brings in that NRL experience very good last week the battle of the centers will be a beauty today other Knights just trying

To reset in the middle of the ground Skipper Amy plays at 35 M out Starling whenever there’s one marker he’s out of there and putting pressure on Titans defense knew it jumped out quickly to shut down any opportunities turning the ball back inside to Henry Penn interesting to see if Henry Penn’s

Done some contact work this week last week he was in good position defensively but he just come up with a few errors with his first Contact and they’re able to get a few tries down that side Starling now plays it on the fifth tackle with another Dart plenty of time

V Newman despite some kick pressure puts it up in the bright sunshine and tests his arm brimson come up with an error and Newman’s got the ball back and here’s another opportunity for the knights there’s space on the left hand side the Titans are strung out they got

To move it quickly good Vision By Me gets it to Cory Dennis who just needed a catch and pass in the end he does the job and barges his way over and the Knights strike back through Cory Dennis well he just holds that football out in

His left hand arm there you thought he might have even got the offload away at the back end but too much strength at the end to get it across well they’ve had so much possession and football down this end of the field they needed to get

Some points on the back of it this was the error from AJ brimson you see the referee he restyled The Tackle count mean he knew straight away that the space was on that left hand Edge and Cory Dennis was the man soap all was on

His outside he didn’t need to use him at the back end great work from meany the fullback to get his eyes up and see the space on the outside great strength by Dennis and a great hit back from the Newcastle Knights no doubt about it and you can

Imagine how much mty soala was screaming at him he loves the try line himself gory Dennis he backed himself he’s been a revelation this year with his rugby league he’s comes from Lakes United the mighty Lakes United here on in Newcastle I don’t imagine he thought he’d be

Playing six NRL games and in his first game in the NRL come up with a double and has continued to have good form despite a little bit of injury he’s the Prototype big long strong lanky type player and he’s delivered on number of occasions to soala on his outside that

Big left hand offload he is really hard to tackle soola scored 14 tries so far this season I dare say that Cory Dennis would have provided about 10 of those try assist to him as well so not only can he score them he can set his outside

Men up as well bradden Robson has the ball placed he’s going to have to start it in the field of play and use this Breeze to bring it from right to left did none of that unfortunately started it to the left and it stayed there so it’ll remain Titan six over the

Night’s four both of these sides have got that in them if you give them an opportunity they generally are good enough to make make your pay yeah and and just on that occasion AJ brimson he fumbled the football and they just couldn’t get back defensively their line

In time to do that if you look at some of the stats tackled in the opposition 20 Newcastle Knights have had 15 to the goal Coast they’ve only had the one opportunity and they lead on the scoreboard so uh they’ve had plenty of time down that end of the field and

That’s a credit to the the Titans defense as well especially early on they had plenty thrown at them they held strong but they just couldn’t on that occasion once again you can see the knights last week they shifted the ball from the kickoff two and three sets of

Hands they’ve done it again here in their first opportunity with a kick restart from the kickoff here’s Butterfield beating them at the advantage line good battle up front too King and Watts up against Butterfield and Amy Stone playing on that left hand Edge that lead line for them and gives

Them opportunities to play the back or at the line his ay resetting forward once again metting good defense could have promoted the footy but the tackle from Roberts was strong enough here Starling at of dummy seen some opportunities he’s had an air swing though I think it might have been Rogers

Jumped out and put some pressure on just maybe over playing the hand a little bit there Tommy yeah and this is the mentality when you you come to throw the football around you can get caught up in this in a couple errors you don’t usually play that set structure he’s

Been fantastic I thought he was the best last week this time comes out bit of an air swing there nearly KN he swung out at that bit like my golf swing that was oh I can’t imagine I’m sure you’re silky like everything else you did out look at the

Titans Shifting the ball quickly from left to right right to left I should say to that left hand Edge ni defense they were good in fact they were that good they’ve turned the football over and we’ve spoken about this battle going on on that far side there with Henry Penn

And also John Olive they’ve gone to that side on a number of occasions the Newcastle Knights and this time the Titans they come up some good contact Canoa gudon in there Fred Keel as well so that far side of the field there’s there’s been plenty of attack

And defense run through that edge he might have been a little lucky there Canoa G and I think he had a fair go at that football and you could see that Fred Keel he was quite polite when he got up to the referee but I think he

Thought she’s been a bit hard done by here play on play on now the knights once again happy to just push the foot around a little bit from the scrum this time it’s Henry pin the right hand center coming to the left hand side and going back center field they’re trying

To get some ball over to the other Center in Cory Dennis and he now gets the football and the tri scorer for the knights gets up bit of a push there too so some feeling already it’s nice to see energy put into it once again we’re seeing some pushing

And shoving as the playing the football Starling at the back to kog K I think he lost the football too so a little bit of ill discipline from both teams just looking as Jack Cog is straightening up the attack there I think if he can look to have meany back

On that inside there may be some space because He commands respect with the football he’s throwing plenty at the Titans defensive line there you can just see that football just comes free and again just not securing at the back end it’s something that they’re going to

Need to to really get a handle of too many errors the co Titans they not going to go away they’ve got plenty of strike right across the and you give them too much football they’ll make here’s the double last week to Sammy once again just hands on the

Football they’re trying to slow it down the the penalties already it’s three a piece but it feels like it’s been 10 penalties already yeah well only 17 minutes into the game so there have been a number of penalties and and a few errors now from both sides as well so

It’s got a little bit Scrappy I’m sure the Titans want to do something about that and the chief playmaker Rogers has the football at the back to Ralph and eat throws a Speculator it’s been play on thought that might have gone forward John Olive gets the ball on the outside to Fred

Keel and Fred Keel goes to the try line he’s come up with a try referee signaling six to go points to the spot for chus opportunity there or a forus bounce thought the pass was questionable refet play on yeah we’ll need to have a look at this as they go

Across field here you can see the ball comes out the back there from Josh Ralph goes backward how often do you see it when the ball hits the deck the defensive line just all stop everybody halts but not the goal Coes Titans they swooped on it as quick as they could

John Olive and he picks the football up and Fred Keel on his outside he had plenty of work to do showed slick pair of heels to race away from Nick meany who’s got a set of wheels on him himself he drags down right at the back end

Tommy Starling in there as well trying to stop the try well I think that’s okay I think the pass who did you pick today I picked the Titans but the points are on the board the referee said play on that’s certainly what the goal Co Titan did and Fred K

Two tries this season you’re right he certainly showed some good speed because Nick miny’s got some real pace and great to see Tommy Starling we talk about it so much honest it was easy to drop off there almost got there and saved the try couldn’t do it Fred Keel comes up with

The points and now Josh Rogers he’s already kicked his first this one much more difficult from out in the sideline he’s got good purchase on it’s up in the air you can see the strength of that breeze held it up extra two points won’t be added Titans 10 Knights four that

Breeze is getting stronger down there yeah you could just see that cuz he’s a fantastic kicker of the football there and just holding up in the win and and with that in the back of their mind and and Coach Ben Wolf thinking of that too

If they can hold on to this lead or if they can go into the break they know that they will have that Advantage coming home in the second half are we going to see a short kickoff again AL the way he’s stepping back like that only two or three steps it suggests that

They will absolutely I think they will and he’s hit it well too it’s just going to get over the 10 oh we might not have made it be a penalty on the halfway line only cenm in it go through gee that was close and I’m not sure about that I know

It worked for them last week so you don’t want to go away from that and they got that confidence out of that big win over the Panthers but you’ve got a big Breeze at your back why not utilize it um and drive the ball down deep into

That other end of the field and we know that they’re a big pack Kurt Bernard into the starting side as well make them do the hard stuff out of their own end of the field remember that ball only has to go over the line of the 10 m line it

The 40 m line it does doesn’t actually need to touch the ground anyway the referee said it’s a penalty and they’ve come up with the right result now the knights are under pressure because as you said Al They kicked it into touch and they’re well and truly down the

Other end of the field good exchange of passes back on the inside this is where you see Josh Ralph take control and he’s commanding the ball now he gets it skimming across field in a flat pass to the big front row in Max King there’s another Beauty for the

Titans plays it a meter out flat pass to Bernard can he get over the line I think he might have no good defense by the knights take it straight out there have held him up that’s a huge effort by Knight the knights defense and a big

Effort from that man too Kurt Bernard he thought he’d scored the try he got up but it’s play five here what can they do here can they force a repeat they had to do so much defensive work no video referee in the holding cup competition here’s a little chip kick

Over soap a LA’s head and bounces back inside and he had to have two goes at it because ma almost got the football back smart kick got a nice bounce so did well in the end as well and that’s really hard to defend there you can see Josh

Rogers he really takes the football right to the line you don’t know whether he’s going to kick the football or not and he puts it on the toe just at the right at the death right at the last minute there it’s it takes amazing touch

To be able to control it but it’s really hard to defend against and that’s a huge Dropout with the eight of that breeze yeah Nick mean it was he got good purchase on the football ball now the knights driving the Titans backwards try to insire their teammates it was Robson

Feeling in that one as well he Titans just struggling to play struggling to get back to his feet now he’s got the football a big front rower so he’s been busy a flat pass on the edge good hands by the back rower there for the Titans Sam Swift and now we’ve seen another

Forward pass that ill discipline once again is the brze playing any sort of factor in these passing in this passing well I think it would play play a small factor in that though too but they play flat the halves play really flat in particular Josh Ralph and you can see

He’s charging on the football trying to get his team on the front foot which is a great thing to do but he’s just overstepped the mark on that occasion and Ethan Roberts who’s got his opportunity to start in the hooking position a couple of those passes from

Dummy half just a little bit too much on them too much out in front but it’s hard because your players are really charging onto the ball there too yeah he certainly needs to be a bit bit quicker out of there out of dummy half I think

Robertson needs to get the footy to his Runner tell you what Josh Ralph looks like a young fch whether it’s Brett or Troy his brother earlier Troy Lov to get a mention Brett’s the more famous One of course but he looks like a young Finch when he came through this age both

Newcastle boys as well yeah Val Valentine Aliana they came through let’s hope he’s got no one near as much lip as the finch boys now the nice shift the ball to the left hand side Newman steps back inside wishes he didn’t he got smashed by Bernard back on the

Inside now the knights will need to go forward again been all Titans 104 the night to be reasonably happy considering it could have been a lot higher this the scoreboard here’s a bombman a good Take On The Edge there by ke once again need to work out how they’re going to factor

In this Breeze and a relieving penalty again against the knights yeah this is the third time that it’s happened to the goal Coast Titans that that they’ve been on their own Tri line there doing it really tough then all of a sudden the Newcastle Knights have come up with some

Ill dist and to give away this penalty and they’re running into a big Breeze um and they’re getting these relieving penalties it is certainly hurting the Newcastle Knights chances here and you can see that run of penalties there to the go Coast Titans Absol Lely started

All nights and then it’s been all Titans since the referee’s had a busy day with plenty of penalties here’s the Titans going forward look at starling’s energy that he’s putting into defense plays it smack in the center of the halfway line they go to the left hand side the combination with the two

Joshuas particularly Ralph and brimson is the real attacking weapons for the Titans now they come back center field Titans on the fifth tackle thought he might have dropped that then the lock forward AA on the field here’s a bounce the favor Josh Ralph Johnny on the spot

He’s got a double after a treble last week I just thought it to play the ball that he might have knocked the football on so the Titans have chanced their hand once again and they’ve come up with the right result ah he’s a real footballer isn’t he just charging at the ball there

He just wants to be in and around a great kick by AJ brimson showcasing his skills the fullback there on the left boot chips it back across Josh Ralph charges at the footballer bounces up nicely for him but I think you can put that down to the Penalty down the other

End of the field that ill discipline has really cost the Newcastle Knights and it’s some nice attacking pieces here that have got the points at the back end but some real ill discipline is really hurting the Knight scores it’s funny to speak about that because the Titans actually lead the competition off tries

Start restarting from penalties so they take the advantage that’s a indication of a very good team looking back at that replay I think he just held on to the footy so it was the right decision by the referees and the Titans the little chip kick back into space and the honest push forward

By Josh Ralph comes up with points and now the other Josh he’d be pretty pleased with the another relatively easy kick right in front you can still see that breeze having a fact of the ball as it goes up under the hill here at Hunter Stadium the Titans have skipped away 164

4 to go in the first half yeah and Coach Ben Wolf has made a couple of changes as well Jordan Scott who was named in the hooking position he’s put back to the bench he’s now come in and Ethan Robin’s off as well Mig K Berard is gone for his

First spell on the sideline Too Short kickoff again here what do you think you’d imagine so why not now you got to chase in some points they’re going to do it absolutely and he’s got this one right too can soap laa get up and oh bounc a touch that’s a great result as

Well yeah Christian mik he needed to have a play at the ball I know that he didn’t probably realize how close a sideline there was to him he just got himself in a position to to get his hands to the football but I think he was

Just he just he just didn’t really know what to do there Christian ma he’s got to be a relation to con ma when you look at them they look identical for a Newcastle Knights player here’s a chance and once again we see the knights set up there’s not a player

In 40 m down the short side lall so it’s the scrum and then the Winger is the first player you’ll see and they’re going to shift the ball they’re going to kick it from the restart oh shanked it that looked like one of your golf shots

H was probably a little stra than mine but you’re right they had numbers on that out outside there they needed you know if they’re going to come up with those plays they’ve got to execute the kick there like you said sh off the outside of the boot there and they’re continuing

To chance their arm KN got some fresh legs out there as well Cameron King and Jermaine Tano Brown on the field both coaches using some interchange now we’re seeing the knights back under pressure again and the Titans have had all the footy will they make the knights pay once

Again down the short side AJ brimson little kick back to the inside Nick meany well positioned come up with the football quite easily yeah they still had to tackle up their sleeve as well the goal Coast Titans and they eled to kick and kick short there too so I think

If AJ bson had his time over again he might want to run that football and set up a little bit better little error there on on Fifth play but it just shows AJ brimson he traditionally does play in the halves he’s played all of his footy

Or most of his football in the halves in the younger grades so he’s got amazing touch on the football as a fullback and the KN they try to shift the ball to this left hand side haven’t used the breeze at all that it’s quite strong fifth tackle this time they’re in

A difficult spot to kick from Newman Under Pressure that kick Chase came through wonderful pick up on the fingertips there by AJ brimson and he’ll pick the he’ll bring the foot back to the 40 m line with that strong Breeze the knights haven’t been able to use it

At all in that set it’s one of the risks you take when you’re running the football on play four and you get caught on a sideline there the pressure that you put your halves under or the kickers that you put the pressure you your kickers under and they did that on that

Occasion and it was a slow play the ball as well so nothing in favor of the Newcastle side Henry pens first Contact there on John olival need to be better he’s a experienced Center who’s dangerous and now the Titans there center field 15 M out on the attack

Moving the ball quickly good interchange here between the big boys the knights defense had to aim up on that lead Runner fifth tackle now they’re 10 m out out of dummy half little kick kicking behind a little bit too hard from Scott it’s his first real opportunity Jordan Scott unfortunately

Just a little too heavy he’s the nephew of Scotty Satler in actual fact so uh good blood lines yeah you’re exactly right he had the opportunity there he did the right stuff he got him on the front foot after that quick play the ball I think you look back at the video

And probably think I need to take them on myself there was there was enough space there I think to run the football he took the harder option in the kick but didn’t come off this time but still some good sign out a dummy half for Jordan Scott the

Knights had love to be the next to score before half time 10 minutes to go in this first half oh King got rock by good solid contact there by the Titans Sam Stone back on the inside from M Newman M dear on the bench today gives

Him another option in the half to bring on here’s a quick play the ball cuz the Titans left with no numbers and Starling makes them pay dangerous look at the footwork on the little fell just couldn’t quite come up with a pass at the end of it soon as there’s no markers

Or one marker Tommy starling’s India now they go to the right hand side Coga looking for space to get the ball to Henry Penn Penn a little kick come off the legs of olive it’ll be knocked on on the far side there by Canoa gon just a little bit disjointed there

Al yeah Tommy Starling he set that up didn’t he the great little dart out of dummy half there some footwork and like a little back in the Box isn’t he every opportunity he gets he tries to take them on but once again that execution

Just at the back end of the set so on their big plays that they’re just lacking that polish there whether it’s been the cross field kick or sometimes a short kickoff so they big their big moments or their big plays that they want to keep coming up with they just

Not coming off for them at the moment yeah absolutely you know you hope being a relatively little fell yourself who end up playing in the hooking position you hope that Tommy starling gets an opportunity to keep going forward despite his size cuz I just love what he

Does on the foot he brings so much energy doesn’t he he’s probably about 5 Seconds Qui around 100 met of me too so he’s got that up his sleeve he’s he’s Dynamic out of out of the hooking position he’s he’s a real little guy I think he was their most creative player

Last week up against the penth Panthers and he’s still only at high school too so he’s got plenty of time to to develop so hopefully some good signs ahead for him and the Newcastle Knights and now the Titans shift the ball just got in front their Runner there Sam Swift it

Was who just got ahead of the ball player there and couldn’t quite link him link up with him here’s brimson little chip kick once again he skewed it back to the inside Nick meany he’ll eat them up all day but he’s knocked the football on there’s the commentator’s curse as

Soon as I said he’d eat him up uncharacteristic error there by Nick meany yeah there’s been a couple of signs today that we we weren’t expecting whatsoever after that big win over the penth Panthers last week the confidence that we thought they would have taken out of that it probably just hasn’t been

On display as much as we thought some little costly errors and some ill discipline is hurting no surprised to see Josh Ralph in there soon as he caught the foot he putting the pressure on speaking of pressure Cory Dennis up and in he knew that he had to shut the

Ball down come in quickly to shut down AJ bromson the Titans come through Sammy surrounded by Knights players eventually wrapped up 10 m out go back to the center and reset and they do that through Big Max King also super impressive in 2016 he plays it a meter out Titans on the

Attack flat pass that looked forward solid defense there by Zack Hoskins come down and also Jack Coga and Tom Starling now they got space to the left hand side ball back inside oh there’s a big shot King it was Cameron King who put a shot

Back on the inside on AJ brimson now the two Josh’s combined and kick to the in goal Knights have to knock a dead through Nick meany repeat set of six well some good rugby league all round throwing the football from side to side the goal Coast tight some really strong

Defense from the Newcastle Knights you’re right with that forward pass there I think you might have been watching Aaron Woods in the passing style there the big front rower in Nathan Watts there it looked a little bit forward but some really strong defense but they forced a repeat set so

The back ends to the sets have been much better and it’s been the between the two sides now the Titans have another opportunity Nathan wats who is commanding a bit of attention for through some NRL clubs I’m led to believe play two they’re only 18 M out

Good setup they can go to the open side Max King with the football barging his way down field backing his way down with knights Defenders all over him he’ll play center field 3 m out set up left and right this time they come to the right Rogers with

The football a short pass pass on the outside Knight’s defense is equal to the task they wrap up Sammy fifth tackle that decide to run it ball bounced Sam Swift’s got the foot and hosking did a wonderful job to jump on him straight away and wrap him

Up and the Knights defense quickly onto that opportunity you mentioned it before often when you see the ball hit the ground the defense relaxes and that’s when it becomes dangerous good energy there and good awareness by the knights yeah I think they learned from their mistakes in that first

First time when the ball hit the ground this time there was no mistake whatsoever they just kept charging at the football and he just couldn’t get the ball away there Sam Swift and they’d be disappointed with that back end of the set there the goal Co KN have got

About just under 5 minutes to see if they can do something about this 12-point deficit toaa Brown dummying then he met with good defense NOA was a big Defender there short pass little interchange back inside the from Koga Koga trying hard see if he can create a

Bit he seees some numbers that are short in front of him goes to the line inside roll here starling’s got it can they get the pass back Starling still scrapping good kick on the end of it here’s the chance for Canoa G one on one hander did

He get the ball down I think he did referee points to the spot we talk about Tommy Starling and Jack coger Koga just challenging that tight spot back inside to Starling and he had plenty to do well you spoke about it before Frankie that he was taking on really

Squaring up the line he did that exactly this time with a big right foot step and then with the offload away to the dynamite Little Hooker in Tommy Starling and he put the after burners on he took off he spun out of a tackle he summed it

Up beautifully and he puts the football on the toe there and kicks it away Canoa gudgeon he just needs to get downward pressure he does that he finishes it nicely and they were searching for those those points it was they were desperate for points just before halftime and

They’ve got them it just keeps them alive in this game right at the back a back end of this game but some great work by their key Playmakers tell you what he had a lot to do still there he did a wonderful job Canoa gudon running at full Pace the

Ball bouncing back to the inside as a left-handed put down one-handed really good fantastic effort Wingers these days now we we’ve got a newfound respect wi haven’t you we certainly do yes they they uh they’re just amazing and the amount of work that they do out of their own end just carrying the

Football is is remarkable what what the Wingers have to do now you can see the breeze there with the referee shirt flapping in the breeze behind them this will be a tough kick for Robson he’s going to have to start it infield and hopefully bend it back and he’s done

Exactly that that’s a brilliant kick and a much needed one by the Newcastle Knights Titans still leading 16 points to 10 just on 2 minutes out till halftime they had to be the next to score the nights yeah you’re right and that was a great kick from the sideline Braden

Robson I’ve seen a lot of his football playing in the centers but he’s made that transition into the lock forward position he’s a big body there with that great speed he’s been in some good form just of late too this is his third year

In the NYC so he needs to take his game to that next level and continue his quest for an NRL spot we’ve seen the knights thr the football round plenty of times in their own end and they look like they’re set up to do the same again Koger getting his players

To move off him and he’s happy to shift it quickly the king in fact I think he might have liked to do a second man to the short side to Newman who’s now parked himself on that short to but they’ve gone to the open through Koga he’s starting to get some Authority out

There now Jack Koga wonderful little player he’s going to be a beauty for the future of the nights he’s got the football damy second man play to me he’s got space and he’s called it a obstruction unlucky there the night you can see there was definitely some sort

Of runner in the middle and I had I would have loved to seen Nick meany be able to pin the ears back yeah just going through there Zack Hoskins oh he just holds him up ever so slightly there’s not too much in it I’ve been quite interested to see that they’ve

They’ve continued to go to Jack Koger on that right hand side you know with that ability of Cory Dennis so his TRC scoring ability on this left hand side they haven’t really seen any football ever no you’re right you’re right on both fronts I think that could have

Easily been played on I think the pass at the back was on the other side of the lead runner from hosking in the meantime the Titans are on the attack and they’ve got some foot in them here’s a long pass to Sammy who stepped back inside he’ll

Be hard to stop from here Sammy puts the head down good defense by the knights Starling and tanoa brown drag him down half a meter out oh the dummy halves had a crack here Scott the knights have done well in defense but they he went back to

Say he was held up the referee said it’s Fourth now the Titans a little bit lost in attack and Ralph had no options so just succumb to the tackle 2 m out on the fifth brimson has the football dummy to run it come off legs and kns he might

Be off side there yet I would imagine with 10 seconds to go the only option is to take the two but we are in Holden cup he has to take two surely but you’re right just it’s unfortunate just in that offside position there and almost just that

Natural reaction just to dive on the football but the go titans they built on a number of occasions they’re good defense by the Newcastle Knights but they’re playing flat and they’re playing fast and they’re playing to their edges and and to add to that as well Jordan

Scots come on and he looks dangerous in around the dummy half position AJ brimson with that great kicking game that he does have just ball ricochets off and into that offside position but if they can just take that eight-point lead in the halftime knowing that they

Going to have the breeze at their back coming home in that second half that’ll be a huge Advantage kicking at 70% Jack Rogers he’s already two from three today one of the more relatively well it’s not a straightforward kick there’s a fair bit of Breeze to deal

With he’s a quality kicker we’ve seen the strength of that breeze when he tried to do the last conversion from the sideline and he kicks the ball high meaning it’s a factor for him it’s difficult SOA went to bring the ball in but it goes dead that’ll be halim go

Coast Titans 16 lead the Newcastle Knights 10 they’re facing a really tough Breeze as well for the go Coast Titans they need to just continue on what they are doing playing flat and fast at the line the big men are doing great work in around the middle laying a great

Platform oh we see the kickoff here and it’s a deep one oh and it’s knocked on by Jack coger it would look like it was dangerous from the start big Breeze at their back be a goal line Dropout the referee has said he knocked it on in his end

Goal and he’s getting a bit of feedback here from some of the opposition we’ve seen the knights they didn’t use the breeze in the first half at all their short kickoffs they paid dividends from the very first kickoff in the game ever since then they didn’t use it at all

Well you think it’ be a better tactic to do into the breeze in the second half there um to hold it up a little bit but you’re right they didn’t use it as much but anyway the goal Coast Titans a fantastic uh opportunity here in the opening moments of the

And now they get that opportunity first play the ball will be only 22 M out we’re seeing the debutant and Thomas mly in the on the field brisban Norths jior making his debut here’s a good run as well Titans putting a real D this time it’s the lock forward no oh he might

Have dropped that footy the referee said play on very lucky there Titans just scheming across real through their half back in Josh Ralph you heard Alan Tong say 11 tries in the last eight games he is a tric scoring machine and they’re trying to burrow their way in with the

Big F forwards around the rock King will play only half a meter out they going to have another crack at it moly this time and the referee like he did in the first half said obstruction this time it’s against the Titans able was his second touch there Molly as you spoke about

He’s on Debo but just holding it back up on the inside it was Sam Swift the man the edge back rower there with his head bandaged and the referee spotted that straight away and that there from Jack Koger there was being relieved without a s relief with that penalty coming to his

Side and that was the right decision there by the referee Phil Henderson spot on now the knights they’ve quickly got down over the way over the halfway line into this bruise the kick was quite good once again this time we see the knights it is that get the penalty we’

Seen those seven penalties in a row to the first three to the knights then seven to the Titans and now once again the penalty relieves the pressure the kns get an opportunity on the other end of the field yeah too much in that tackle there from NOA but I’ll tell you

What I’ve been been really impressed with his first up contact just too much in the tackle that occasion here’s another penalty this time hand on the football you wonder how long they let this go for until they give someone a bit of a spell the knights want to get

On with it and they’ve got the ball robs him with a bit of footwork back inside the debutant Moy he’s almost got to the line he may even be held up I think his head’s over the tri line but the football is just short he plays it under the sticks they go to

The left hand side tanaa Brown did well to catch the footy cuz he wasn’t ready for it spinning P wetting his way around but he didn’t go too far and the Titans have wrapped him up half a meter out just dummying to play the football Starling clever able to let a runner go

Through Koga wants his Runners back on the inside the knights very disjointed in attack you can see he’s frustrated there too Jack coger now they go forward through T around little exchange of passes to King who presented the football instead he backed himself he might have come up with a

Try referee’s going to look at it no video ref to go to and he points to the spot Phil enderson and says that’s a try to King wonderful determination yeah great work after that error from the kickoff there from Jack koger’s turned it around they’ve got down this other

End of the field some strong carries there and Cameron King the nice interchange of passes from Jermaine to no Brown there got the football on the king his defense was out standing in that first 40 minutes he had plenty of work to do he spun out of the tackle

There of Josh Rogers plenty of attention coming across AJ brimson involved there but the two big men and some nice skills shown as well from the big front rowers in The Interchange of passing but it’s his first try his first try this season in his career so he’ll be happy with

That oh good on you Cameron King nothing more enjoyable and you can see a little smile coming on the face these nights front rowers don’t mind a try Amy and Butterfield they’ve got a few throughout the year Butterfield six tries so far this season so you’re right and just that ball movement really

Really caught the goal Coast Titans off guard there and got a one-on-one play up against Rogers there and did enough Cameron King to spin out of it and use his determination to get that football down despite being fairly close this is a difficult kick for Robson nailed a

Beauty in the first half from the sideline with plenty of Breeze to speak about this time you’ll need to hit it a lot flatter there you go he’s tried to just thread the needle there inside the post and unfortunately for him he’s hit the post meaning that it’ll remain

1614 Knights first point scorers in the second half didn’t know who I was calling with there whether it was Daryl hallan the kicking coach Franky Barrett there it’s great well you got it all worked out here but you’re right the breeze is really tough to handle and and

Sometimes when you probably don’t strike the ball as hard as you like sometimes doesn’t go as well as it could in that occasion but that breeze is really causing Havoc here this time Koga takes it no problems once again they’re happy to spread the ball very quickly right

Across the TR line and King the tric scorer he’s got some wind under the sails now let me assure you with the goal kicking Department chooks very safe I’m more like Kenny kick chase the bler catches the footy and kicks him back to people at training wasn’t give a kicking

LIC now here the knights go through Sam Stone spinning his way down field it’s going to be a wonderful football of Samone going to grow into that big long body of his here’s Koga at the line once again showing inside short ball on the outside Brave Line run by

Robson and the Knights get to the halfway line Koga once again trying to square it up this time mean on that inside shoulder keeping the defense a little bit more honest he’s been busy Koga in a better position to make that kick on the fifth and ke had to just do

The fingertip juggle a little bit kick Chase quite good that’s a better constructed set of six by the night well it’s more traditional set we just haven’t seen it from the Newcastle side in the last couple of weeks but it’s a right thing to do to get through you

Know get some good go forward and and get to the end of your sets and put a good kick and kick Chase on the back of it it’s a right way to play I think but they’re living by the sword at the moment remembering they passed four

Times across their Tri line to start it so they’re you’re right though that’s that’s that balance they’ve got to get love to see some more ball out to Cory denn as you mentioned it in the first half and now the Titans it is off their own

End big strong Breeze at their back they lead by two points rip a game here in the holding cup Fifth Fifth tackle now AJ brimson he’s taking on the kicking duties on the fifth a lot of little chip kicking this time he’s kick for space and it’s

Bounced and Henry Penn is under pressure did very well calm and controlled that’s the right that’s the right execution too get the ball up in the air it was it was more of a punch St kick but if they can get a torpedo bomb with this Breeze at

Their back and swirling in the air too that’ll be really tough at the back and you can see even just with that traditional kick there really struggled at the back there meanie looking forward to seeing what speaking of Punt kicking what Jared Hayne might produce today

With that big booming bomb of his as the H plan arrives in the hunter here at Hunter Stadium later on today here’s SOA it’s getting limited opportunities with the footy bounced up easily been penalized here the Titans they said he was trying to milk it fair enough Starling out of dummy

Half with some space down the short side Koga inside out beautiful ball to Cory Dennis back inside back outside once again to Sam Stone that is fantastic football by the Newcastle Knights well some real razzled Dazzle down that left hand side we spoke about we want to see the football in Cory

Dennis’s hand Tommy Starling he started it all off though in and around that rck he some eyes up and played what was in front of me he saw a man down he took off Jack Cog he had plenty of work to do on the outside it was great work drawing

In Christian ma got the ball on to Cory Dennis some interchange of passsing Robson in there as well but big Sam Stone finished it off the great football Do or Die rugby leag from the Newcastle NS and they’re coming up trumps at the moment real question

Mark over the Coga gory Dennis pass you can hear in the sound effect microphones the Titans players screaming out that it was forward I think the Titans players might be right in the end wonderful work there good composure by Robson as you said third year of Holden cup just

Summed it up beautifully took his time back inside back outside and Sam Stone he’s always honest pushing up on the football and a worthy result is a try for him now the knights back in front or in front in front for the first time today it’s quite amazing up after the

Kickoff that Jack hoger dropped there and then all of a sudden we thought well the goal Coast Titans are going to run away with this and they’ve hit back quite quickly Cameron King the opening try there of that second half and now Sam Stone well I agree with you too he

Looks like he’s got some real potential there and still plenty of growing left to do as well for that young man here’s another opportunity for Robson needs to startle inside that post he’s done a wonderful job he’s bended back into the breeze you could see him threw a little

Bit of grass up to see what that breeze was doing I was concerned that he’ started it too far to the right but he bent it in look at the crowd enjoying the sunshine here in Newcastle they’re loyal 132,000 last week still turned up wonderful to see him out here early supporting the

Newcastle Knights as we’re seeing some um interchange here some fresh legs going on the field in Heath Gibbs be interesting to see where they play him he might play in the back roow today yeah we saw him come on last week with the inclusion of Dennis and Pen coming

In he went back to the the bench last week usually plays in the center position but he fill in on that edge what a great run by Jermaine TR tooa Brown here spinning out of the first tackle now the knights really got a bit of momentum going and it’s the Titans

That are under a bit of pressure kingle PL 35 M out hosking’s been wonderful for the nights getting better each week Zack hosking Starling all the creativity on the king since he scored the try got it all going on now King now Koga once again showing inside going to

The outside starting to set it up nicely Gibs it as it’ll play the football on the fifth down the short side Koga beautiful ball to Henry pen can he link up with his wing or he can’t yet now he does oh great kick by Canal gon into the

In goal and he’ll bounce him back into the in goal canel gudon fantastic work there great set of the six after points wasn’t it for the Newcastle side but they’re really getting some momentum through the middle of the Ruck now this wasn’t happening in the first half they

Played too lateral and didn’t earn the right to shift the football they’re really going forward well now and you’re right Canoa gudge and he had plenty of work to do AJ bson he found the ground as early as he could but just couldn’t get the football back into the play and

Another set of six they’ve got to defend now on their own loan the Titans Titans are gone for a short kickoff with a big Breeze it their back it must be contagious chaning your arm out amazing wasn’t it there was a half opportunity though they just the execution once

Again has let them down Josh Ralph was right on the mark but do you play the percentages and launch it long oh I love the holding cup the noers AR there’s two of everything now the knights are on the attack Zack hosking dummies to one side

And he’s held up there in solid defense and they did a good job to slow him down eventually now the knights king turns the ball back in here’s Stone wanted to short run on the outside SP and goes himself eventually Sam Stone is dragged down a meter out knights in good field

Position Newman got the ball on to King can he get a double flicked it out to hosking and in the end great defense by the Titans desperate TR saving defense Sam Swift as a man that trving tackle fifth tackle under the post the knights looking for aeat set of six Koga knocked

Down by the Titans six to go and Henry Penn has the football more pressure the Titans line go to NOA Brown will go center field hosing there pushing up looking for some football Starling and Newman looking to combine here with coger on the other side of the rock here’s hosking the man that

Scheming everywhere he’s got very close and unfortunately held up I thought he might have lost the football really starting to understand this game Zack hosking he’s he’s going to have the toughness of his all man the mule David hosking but also little bit more leg Yeah great work once again

Though by AJ brimson and Sam Swift in there some desperation in their defense now the kns they go to the left hand side through Newman Runners inside and out they got a big set up to the right hand side staring got away to King King done a good job under pressure once

Again trying to back his way to the tri line he’ll play it standing up meany wants the football quickly on to Koga Koga wants to run it dum is the inside kick him behind they said not played it ball out to now canaa G to the sideline

Can he get there just goes into touch sideline and the Trine with the factors he had to deal with you’re in the middle that put him into touch I thought he might have been a little bit too deep to be able to get there yeah can guding he

Had plenty of work to do he’s taking out the corner post and the cameraman there too I think on his way through he’s got the hand out there the football just that right foot you can just see it just goes into touch there ever so close oh

Now the Titans have turned the football over that was inch close just put his foot on the line otherwise it would have been a marvelous try unfortunately for the Titans Christian Ma has turned the turned the footy over once again it’s the knights putting on the pressure to

The Titans defensive line and you can see the energy in the side at the moment as we have another look at Canoa gudin going for the line there’s only about a centimeter in that arms around boys commitment by the cameraman he was happy to stay there right till the death he’s

Taken one on the lifea of bread he’s caught one in the head with the camera commitment by a cameraman fantastic whatever it takes to bring you the pictures on Fox Sports here me way to Dennis they got to get some more foot at to Cory Dennis he’ll be a

Handful this BL also SOA scheming can find the TR line good field position for the knights now there’s plenty of finger pointing there’s traffic cops every everywhere the ball gone backwards mean he’s picked it up on the bounce he’s dangerous in this Broken Field play good defense there by the Titans

Not Tommy Starling back to Koga short pass to hosking promotes the footy for King he’ll get a double the big boy wonderful football there by hosking The Interchange to passes to King got his first now he’s got a double on the same day well he can’t believe it can he

And what a great pass there by hosking had heaps of work to do kog here plays the short ball gets the arm free and big Cameron King his second career try and second today quite amazing but it’s all the momentum is a Newcastle Knights favor at the moment a big error there

From the Titans when they finally got the football but you can see they’re jumping they’re happy and a double to Cameron King and we spoke about this ladder around the eight I mean it’s the knights need to win every game to be a chance to do it

And if they can win today they’ll jump the Brisbane Broncos so it’s a vitally important one and look at Cameron King he’s he’s joining these front rowers in the tric scoring department and loving it and you look at the Newcastle kns they’re a couple of weeks ahead as well

They play sou at home here again next week uh so that’s that’s a huge advantage and then the dragons in fine form they play them away in round 26 that’ll be a really big challenge for them but they need to focus obviously just on the here and now at the moment

But just having a look at their run home for the Gold Coast Titans in that same boat they play the Panthers at home next week no doubt looking to bounce back as the try is converted before the Cowboys away so a couple of tough road trips for

The Gold Coast Titans absolutely it is and in both the NRL and in the Holden cup competition Newman adds the extra points wow these games Spin and change complexity very very quickly all of a sudden we’re seeing the knights that have kicked clear it’s quite amazing it’s a side that’s

Actually running into the breeze we thought that with that halftime lead to the goal Coast Titans with the eight of This breeze at the second half they would just really control the football and run away with this but it’s it’s been quite the opposite here’s Butterfield back on the field look at

This play he did look like his Uncle Tony then kicking off the the signs at the back of the field Knights they’ll be looking to complete this set of six and the Titans be Keen to get down the other end of the field they’ve had very little field

Position with the football in here here’s hosking once again playing the ball just short of the 40 m line ni working there their own in Tommy Starling second half possession have a look at the Newcastle Knights 79% to 21 so much football there and it’s and it’s really hurt the energy

Levels of the go coas TI I don’t think it’ll be too long before we see a couple of changes and maybe even Kurt Bernard back into the action here because they’ve just got such a great roll on through the middle at the moment Newcastle kns all the energy all the

Momentum and all the points coming their way fantastic to see there more conventional set of six just to see Jack coger getting in taking control interesting he there’s a lot of talk that Jared mull will be out of today’s game but will Piel will be going

Up instead of C pushing through so they they want him to play in this grade with his teammates and and you know do his trade good decision and I think he’s had a a few tough losses there so to be able to come back and maybe get a couple wins

Under his belt build that confidence back up to he’s such a young guy you don’t want to burn him too early here’s a chip kick over the top of it look at Tommy Starling he could have easily just bunded off then decided that he’d make the effort turn around and bring the football

Back with wax lyrical about him but what would he’s a little Ripper yeah he’s fantastic he’s been in absolutely everything it hasn’t just been his attacking game it’s been the little little areas of the game the little 1 percenters exactly like that which have been so impressive the cleaning up with

The loose kick there all those TR saving tackles and the chasing at the death really really good to see a good footy on the edge here as well Sam Stein showing a bit of ball work and here’s some play to the edge and some space for the kns Newman’s backed himself he got

To the outside of Oliver Chas and eventually wrapped up the 58 now Koga at the line damming inside and outside he like his time again I think but they’ve got away with it Mr consistency Tommy Starling there this time he’s put it on a dime beautiful kick to the sideline

We’ve seen his kicking skills in the first half to Canal created a try but he’s just got some real football smarts about him he knows what to do in the right moments Henry pens in all sorts of trouble here at the moment he looks like he’s doing a yoga move in the background

But I don’t know if he’s cramped or if he’s had a head knock no I think he’s had a head knock unfortunately could be a bit of both but it certainly needed some trainer and trainer probably needs to get to the referee and stop the game when he can there’s a

Penalty here for Milking for the Titans which might give them an opportunity to he’s going to come to the sideline Henry pen he was look like he’s in a fair amount of distress there yeah and I’m just having a look too because I can’t I think it’s looks like a lower leg injury

But you’re right the way he he almost looked dazed when he got up from the field there but he looks like he’s in some real real problems there with the lower leg injury there so that’ll be a concern for the Newcastle side there’s going to be a shuffling of places around

They have got that luxury of Heath Gibbs who he’s actually you know played a lot of his football in the centers there so he can shift out wide you got the Titans through their 58 in Rogers he needs to come into this game lost to go forward referee saying

He tried to go forward he bit of acrobatics there as well it could be just severe cramp for Henry Penn I tell you what it was nasty cramp it looked like his legs had been broken there on stage but Rogers has come up with a mistake and just again

Relieving the pressure on the nights yeah it’s it’s a really really crucial error there from Josh Rogers just getting back into this game there’s still plenty of time and they’re only 10 points behind as we get some vision of Henry pen still having some troubles in

You’re right it it just looks like it is cramps he’s having some problems with a oneon-one strip here called play on the knights have turned that over mik has got the football he be had to stop in fact they can’t stop him it’s a game of opportunity at the

Moment the knights turned it over through Cory Dennis SOA Lula couldn’t pick it up Ma picked the football Up and Away he went big and strong with a fend was from the scrum good hustle there by Josh Rogers who then picked the footy up got a one handed away and Christian M

Backed himself and scores in the corner yeah I’ve got some real question marks on the Josh Rogers strip here whether it’s it’s come forward off him or not the referees play play on call play on so we can’t go back there’s no problems here but we’ll just have another look

Here you see Josh Rogers when the ball comes free spot on yep I think it’s a knock on they’ve given it away Tommy Starling in there once again but Christian ma the big don’t argue there puts it out and gets the ball down in the corner yeah your spot on Al I think

They might just be keeping it entertaining for us that’s what we think might happen still plenty of time to go 17 and A2 minutes this is a crucial kick for Josh Rogers we’ve seen Braden Robson nail one in the first half from out here there’s lots of factors to deal with

Danny badis on the hill there look at him enjoying the sunshine bright socks on too these young ones there the big marcuse’s ball last night the big black tie ball and his beautiful wife Chris is one of the key organizers that Dan might need a little bit of

Sunshine just to drw himself out a bit today I’m sure he was responsible well under the mar use Foundation here’s a big kick for Josh Rogers right on the sideline hit it well the breeze is going to be a factor and will’ll push the ball

Just to the other side of the post and it’ll remain a six-point Gap the Knights 26 over the Titans 20 yeah an opportunistic play there we think it was a knock on but they score in the corner you can hear the thump on that football how well he strikes the ball out wide

There but with that huge Breeze now here we go short kickoff surely not surely not drive it long but here we go well it’s a it’s a three quarter kickoff and a chance I think me has knocked the footy on as well oh that’s a big call

Once again I thought it might have gone through the net and knocked on there was just a little too long to be a short kickoff but it was a very short long kickoff here’s the Titans now here’s some space for AJ brimson he gets theall ball away to Olive Tackle by Gibbs who

Has moved to the centers that severe CR for Henry Penn taking him from the field Sam switched now with the football two Sam Sam Stone and Sam Swift this time it’s Swift for the Titans fi with the football dummy simion will play 22 M out fifth tackle

You would think they go to the air to put some pressure on here little chip kick to space meany had to get on his bike did a wonderful job use that speed to get there take the ball in the full and put his body on the line right I

Thought they might have went to the air to put a contest on on the back of it but they’re happy to play the percentages there and put the pressure on the Newcastle side they just don’t want to give away a penalty here the Titans they want to maintain this

Momentum that they’ve just finally G the pendulum continues to swing either side and one of the key factors or the key factor has been the penalties throughout the game and both sides have been critical of it the Newcastle side they did this in the first half coming

Out of their own end the Titans they gave them away some really cheap penalties and some piggybacks down the field and now the Titans are returning favor and doing that in the second half to the Newcastle Cory Dennis leading but he actually lost the football and I

Think this time Rogers gave it back to him he knew he would have been penalized so smart play there by the 58 now Sam Stone with the footing son of Rick Stone plays at 38 M out look at Starling putting pressure on in the end they

Didn’t SC for the dummy and a good tackle by the big front rower Nathan Watts Koga second man play to mean beats that first tackle more often than not plays a 25 M out Butterfield going forward for the knights good charge by the big front rower on the fifth giving

The knights the perfect setup play for a fifth tackle kick option Koga goes to the line probably just went too far in the end run out of space and had to kick it straight to AJ brimson yeah he took the football right to the line tried to

Sum up his options but brimson once again his positional play at the back has been fantastic you’re the big boy you thought that the Titans need to put back in very shortly and Bernard is back on the field must admit he only ambled out there he’ll need a little bit more energy but

He’s about to get his first as the Titans are 35 M out here he is it’s a good charge it’s a good time to bring him on by Ben Wolf the Titans on the back of that got some go forward Sam Swift up into the line had some numbers on the outside if

He could have just looked up the attracted the Winger in can gon fifth tackle brimson moves the ball to Rogers Rogers puts it up in the sunshine and the big Breeze look at the breeze take it mean he did a wonderful job to get back almost into the in go and now he

Hooks up with Matt SOA he’ll be hard to stop here Matt SOA he’s a TRC scoring machine oneon-one with brimson over the halfway over the 40 and a great Tackle by brimson brings him down the knights have got big numbers to the right because the Titans haven’t yet

Got back on side Tom Starling got the ball moves it quickly to this outs oh hosking the ball slightly behind him and it’s a penalty because the Titans never got back on side yeah and Sam Swift in particular he’s way out of breath at the moment the Newcastle I trying to play

Some Up Tempo football now if Koga not allowed to take that fast Qui tap there if he could have taken that tap Titans hadn’t got their composure back together at all in fact it looks like the knights coming home harder than the Titans they look a bit

Busted a little bit tired at the back end of this game Starling with a flat pass on the outside to Robson who thought of doing the little flick pass third year in the holding cup experience said put it under your jumper couple of meters out now Newman who’s been good

For the knights he’s just given them some good direction showed him back to the inside and Nick plays it a meter out Co kogar will want the football he gets a dummy from Starling he was screaming for him but Starling happened to go forward in play next to the right and up

Right 5 m out this will be a penalty you take the two when you lead by six hang on he might get some time in the bin here eventually Bernard it was I think he might have given a little bit of feedback well let’s listen in here and see

What completely different he’s all over the ball comes out that’s what the penalty is for and then he’s giving me a spray that’s why he’s in the B we’ve had the meeting we’re going what are you doing tapping it I explained it Josh he’s off going to have a shot well

There you heard it all through our sound effects Mike there obviously a bit of frustration there there from Big Kurt Bernard penalized for being offside and then a little bit of feedback for the ref didn’t help yeah and that’s going to really hurt his side here down to 12 men

And as you spoke about the Newcastle Knights are really coming home got some great energy at the moment they’re going to do it really really tough here and they’re going to try and extend this to an eight-point lead so they’re going to have to score two tries to win this game

And Kurt burnard he done he just got back on the field as well the big Junior kiwi and he had a couple of good runs it’s a m discipline there has really hurt him and hurt his side just taking him into the dressing sheds he obviously can’t stay on the

Sideline Bobby Lanahan the ground managers onto it part of the learning curve for these young BLS Robson now with a relatively easy kick oh Mara the commentator’s curse that upright hasn’t been good to him at all and now What’s happen and knocked on by the Titans seriously this commentators curse

Thing is amazing like well if you actually look at the the goal post they’re still actually swaying a fair bit in the breeze and moving about it’s quite the wind that’s going on here at the moment is playing all sorts of havoc in particular with the goal kickers I

Think it’s a full moon at the moment as well Al that could be a factor as well you know what full moons and breezes do they send people a bit mad robs Ja Jack key opportunity there but the knights have had a bit of luck once again because they’ve got the

Football back and they’ll get a set of six I’m sure a try would be much more much better the two points but it looked like it was a gift to show was never a gift in the holding cup Newman now moves the ball quickly to mey meany on the outside to

Cory Dennis big and strong he gets there good defense by Sammy drags him down so la backing himself but he’ll come up with a try he loves the TR line he’s certainly a TRC scoring sneak Matthew soola you would imagine that is the blow the knights needed to come up

With good dent put in by Cory Dennis and then pretty poor defense by the Titans well he scored a hatrick in round one against them he’s got plenty of confidence up against the Gold Coast Titans and he showcases that there some poor defensive work there from the the

Titans in and around the marker play there they should have been switched on especially with this guy who’s a noted TR scorer he picked it up he scooted away that’s 15 tries for the season he was a leading TR scorer in the local competition here last year and he backs

That up on the outside there great combination with Cory Dennis this time he does it all on his own spent a bit of time in the intra super Premiership as well which I think he might have scored a few tries up there as well so yeah just starting to really understand this

Craft I don’t know even if I should mention this kick for Braden Robson if I say he’s no chance he’ll probably drill it he throwing the grass up in the air to work out what factor the breeze is playing often look too far into the breef first half we thought Knights

Didn’t use it enough and Titans look good second half it’s been the reversal neither team has used the advantage of the breeze Brighton Robson has the ball placed pulls it to the left hand side meaning that there’s still a chance for the Titans there they can get two converted

Tries they can come up with a victory the first thing they need to do is get the ball down the other end and defend and defend that end and come up with some good field position yeah there’s that or they go for the short kickoff they play they play the Newcastle

Knights Theory here and try and get that football back so we’ll just see I think you’re on to something here Al the crystal balls out has he got it to go 10 it’s going to be a beautiful kick the knights have done very well in Heath Gibbs has come down with it Titans

Probably needed to compete in the air a little bit there though they had an opportunity the kick was absolutely spot on there it actually used the breeze to to get it to that 10 m Mark that they needed to get to but nobody just attacked the football remembering the

Titans are down to 12 men just to make it that little bit more difficult big Kurt Bernard sure how much time he left on the clock by the time he’s up he might he might be in the early shower already the knights 42 M out they lead by 10

Points just on seven minutes to go there’s that inside pass this time it’s the big front rower that gets it Butterfield from Koger who backs up now and goes to the line drills it into touch good controlled finish to that set of six by Jack Coga yeah well you think

That the Titans are R probably going to have maybe three sets of six if they if they’re fortunate enough here to score the tries and they’re going to have to score in in two of those sets so really important work here by Koga to slow the

Clock down really you know use that to their advantage and put the pressure on the opposition not only on the scoreboard but also with the Tim keeper as well do you have a cracker a 4020 with this bruer back up oh look I don’t think they will I think they’ll keep

Trying to throw the football around in some second phase play I think or what they do they won’t die wondering both their centers got a double last week and also their half back Josh Ralph who scored those 11 tries in eight games including a treble last week and two

This week you got to get the hand ball in their hands here’s a good run by Ma bounces out of the Butterfield tackle and keeps it going downfield eventually he’s dragged down by three Knights Defenders now they go center field brimson trying to get his hands on the

Foot he and create something needs to get to the edges the Titans they going down the middle Braden Robson called out there did really well in the end good refereeing as well to call him out off the side now there’s one marker so the Titans can get up in

Behind the tight spot for the knights out they’ll need to come up with a footy if they can they’ll bomb it if you would think and here’s the bomble he scared it it’s more of a a 54° wedge in the end he didn’t quite get a hold of that and this time the

Knights once again canow gudon put his body on the line got up carried the here’s a good carry from Heath Gibbs in one side out the other over the halfway line dummying to No One In The End he’s spinning around like he’s in a f Booth Knights have put some pressure on

They want to go to the left hand side Newman on to Koga good ball to Cory Dennis he nearly caught linked up again with Koga who’s parked himself on the short side meaning Koger will step back inside this time he’s linked up with Cory Dennis

1 Dennis plays at 15 M out Knights are attacking the Titans line through Stone this will be the kill of BL they come up with a try here Koga wants it gets it little kick in behind great field positioning there by AJ brimson now the Counterattack Rogers that was brilliant by AJ brimson

And now John Olive trying to create something they need him to come into the game his positional play has been fantastic brimson he attacked the football and took off and all of a sudden give a glimmer of hope here you can see they’re just down on energy because the Newcastle Knights have had

So much possession in this second half they’ve got to find something somebody’s got to step up brimson has done some great work Ralph or Rogers who’s this going to be some second phase helps brimson and is the man the youngster is still only 1 he looks like he puts on weight every

Couple of weeks going to be a hell of a player out a dummy half now Jordan Scott might be the one who can create it we’ve seen last in recent times he’s come up with tries try a couple of weeks ago to win it for the Titans here some space

Brimson with a beautiful ball on the outside was knocked down by the knights when I say beautiful ball was in the right space Olive was tempted to pick it up on the bounce yeah they want a race to pack their scrum here the goal Coast side as

Well it was he summed it up beautifully brimson the ball just gets touched there at the back end goes to the ground and you’re right I thought John ol might have had a crack at picking that up he lets it go over they’ve stopped the clock here now the Titans their Seasons

It’s on a nice Edge it sure is with and Kurt Bernard’s got about just under two minutes to go in we get back out there for the last 90 seconds can they have a late rally the Titans short pass on the outside good defense by the night Sam stain made sure

That lead runner in brit Stratton was knocked over KN concede a penalty been a consistent theme throughout the day the penalties that’s now 109 the knights just in front on the penalty count here’s the Titans trying to attack in behind the rock I think they’ll hold him up in the Ino which is

Probably the worst case result for the Titans Nathan wats it is who plays it don’t play it yet you wait time’s off set up on both sides a little short side setup as well but they’re going to come to the open Max King’s got the footy good offload here’s some space and

Danger but the Titans good defense by the knights wrap him up through Braden Robson set up deep on the left hand side here’s a chance the ball out now can they get over the trial on the Titans have done I think it’s Fred Keel who’s got himself into the TR line over

The TR line I should say and into the in goal there is where there’s still a chance the Titans are always going to fight for every inch well there’s a pulse at the moment in in the Gold Coast Titan season at the moment it’s only

Faint but it is there and a big kick from the sideline but Fred K he goes over right on the edge there some good second phase by Ethan Roberts but a huge kick out wide rushing this kick he knows there’s no time left Josh Rogers under 2 minutes they’re about to

Get their full compliment they did well to score with 12 men as well he need to start it to the right hand side in fact he does the opposite and it bends back into the breeze I’m taking my goal kicking license back again I’m heading it back

In Alan Tong the best they can come up with as a result of a draw is the best result they can come up with as we look at this replay here good strength shown there by Ethan Roberts to get the football over the top hosking was dirty with himself he got

There come up with the contact but he was big and strong the Winger in ke great work Ethan Roberts had plenty of work to do to keep that ball free and here we go short kickoff now what reck surely it’s not a short kickoff is it no

Way surely not they’ll kick it long and on try and defend the last moments of this game Nick meany had to go and Google that to find out what it was a long kickoff he’s done well though he’s boun it into touch maybe that’s something that could have been tried

Earlier oh this Holden cup it seriously can produce all sorts of football wonderful kick by Nick meany into a strong Breeze he bented like murly Duran it went sideways and bounced into touch for the knights we could see a win against the feet in the scrum here who

Knows anything could happen here but they kick long they get a result from it only 40 seconds left there’s disappointment there and they come up with another try the night let’s go I’m sure mty so la would like another one but he’s 15th for the year they

Might go the shorts side to Cory Dennis they thought about it here’s soola with the football comes up with the offload Jack coger will be had to stop from there and he scores knock backwards by Matt so ller and a fitting reward after a very busy well orchestrated win by the Newcastle

Knuts on the back of this man Jack yeah he’s been great and also Tommy Starling their little combination in and around the middle and and you’re right there was a it was a Titans hand coming around the football there referees called play on Jack Koger he does a rest

He’s right on the mark there it’s been a good battle between the halves Josh Rogers and Ralph up against coger and Nick Newman he’s been good as well in the 58 position for the knights and they’ve done enough to hold on and and win the other thing we’ve actually

Worked out is Jack COG is the skipper today we have a bit of trouble working that one out and the big front rower in the skipper and well he’s also part Skipper we think Tyrone Amy is out of the extra two points that’s fulltime here in the Holden cup the Newcastle

Knights 36 have defeated the Titans 24
