In a disappointing result for the Green Machine, they were unable to contain the relentless attacking prowess of the red-hot Newcastle Knights, suffering a 28 - 6 defeat on Saturday afternoon.
Despite the valiant efforts of seasoned winger Jordan Rapana, who showcased his skill with two impressive line-breaks and a try, it was not enough to secure victory for the Raiders.
The Knights wasted no time in asserting their dominance, with Kayln Ponga expertly setting up Lachlan Fitzgibbon to score in the sixth minute.
