Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2600050, member: 1899"] Newcastle 36 North Queensland 28 Newcastle finally break their 7 game losing streak with a comfortable win over the Cowboys. Final scoreline won't show it, but it was 26-6 with less than 20 to go and the Cows just scored a couple of late and controversial tries to shorten the gap. Game will mean little come September but nice to see the Knights rewarded for trying out new combinations and to be fair, the win was overdue. They should have beaten the Tigers really but just found a way to lose it. Cows were busted and it showed. Just too soft in defence and lack the combinations and personnel in attack. They may have scored 28 points, but the first try was a gift and the rest was really just a combination of a devil may care attitude and the Knights switching off something fierce towards the end. That and inept refereeing as per usual. I don't know if you can really say the Knights turned a corner or anything at the end of the day. I suppose there were some improvements, but I saw them put in a similar if not better performance against the Tigers and just fall short. The difference tonight is the quality of the opposition. Cows would have struggled against Cronulla tonight. [/QUOTE]
