having seen the game against the jets on the weekend, i think the knights are in for a good season in nsw cup. Filipo ran into gaps well, however i im not a fan of having second rowers as first receivers from the 5/8, as it starves the centre of possession, as second rowers rarely pass it.
I noticed the number 3 for newcastle looked and had a very strong game but was always cramped for space with the extra forward in the backline. Also the fullback looked dangerous.
The half played well and looked dangerous, however the 5/8 needs to learn some tackling technique as he kept rushing up and doing semi shoulder charges. Whilst the resulting slap sounds impressive often he fell off and failed to put the attacker on the ground.
Overall though was a good result.
