Newcastle Knights vs West Tigers
While Jarryd Hayne was performing for the Eels, Darius Boyd finally shone for the Newcastle Knights as they took the title for biggest win of the round with a whopping 32 point difference. Akuila Uate scored a hat trick and new recruit Dane Gagai looked promising.
The Wayne Bennett effect might be starting to wear off on the Knights who are benefiting from a fresh season without the off-field drama. The Tigers however were disgraceful. It would be easier to list what the Tigers did well than what they did not in what was a game to be forgotten for Wests fans.
New coach Mick Potter will have a tough battle ahead if he is to get the Tigers from round one into a respectable playing unit.
