- Glamour club upset at home as Knights score four tries to one
The Newcastle Knights have spoiled the return to the SCG party for the Sydney Roosters, handing them a convincing 20-6 defeat and restricting the glamour club to just one try in their NRL season opener on Saturday afternoon.
The Knights scored four tries themselves and if it hadn't been for a late four-pointer to the Tricolours' Penrith recruit Paul Momirovski it would have been a complete humiliation for Trent Robinson's men.
