Newcastle Knights survived a late scare from the Wests Tigers with a 14-10 victory, their fourth win in 18 starts and just the tonic for a stiff past seven days | SMHsport
If the darkest hour comes right before the dawn, it’s likely this is neither for Newcastle.And the Tigers were thoroughly obliging hosts in Campbelltown, producing one of their worst halves in some time before threatening a 14-point comeback for the ages.
“It was a tough week and I’m really proud of the players,” a weary Adam O’Brien said after riding every mad moment in the coach’s box. But with none of the fuss or mistakes of Townsville, Adam Doueihi was correctly ruled to have knocked on a bomb in front of the posts, and Newcastle’s desperately needed triumph remained on track.That is, except for the frantic final set when the Tigers pressed the Knights’ line. Second-half tries to Brent Naden and AJ Kepaoa already had the visitors nerves fraying more and more with each passing minute.
Klemmer comes straight back into the Knights line-up, O’Brien declaring “we’re better for” the drama that engulfed his club all week, not least because a cumbersome HR reporting process has been fixed. The Tigers were more than happy to keep putting on a spread for the visitors though, coach Brett Kimmorley conceding as much afterwards.
