The Knights end a solid first set with fullback Will Pryce getting away a kick on the last tackle. Pryce is standing in for fullback Kalyn Ponga, who may do plenty of general play kicking himself this season as the Knights try out yet another new halves combination.
Parramatta look more threatening in their first set, a Dylan Brown bomb forcing an error from Newcastle.
And from the resulting scrum – TRY! And of course it’s that man Brown. The star five-eighth gets the ball on the left of a midfield scrum and has enough space to barge his way through the defence from 10 metres out. Parramatta halfback Ronald Volkman converts.
Eels lead 6-0 after five minutes
