The Sea Eagles had an impressive performance in Round 1, trouncing the Cowboys with a dominant display.

Led by Tom Trbojevic, they ran for almost 600 meters more than their opponents and scored seven tries in a 42-12 victory.

The lethal edge of Haumole Olakau'atu, Reuben Garrick, and Jason Saab was instrumental in their success, contributing six line breaks and over 400 meters between them.

On the other hand, the Warriors suffered a defeat against the Raiders, with a lack of direction in attack being a major concern for coach Andrew Webster.

Brailey, who is currently on contract with the Knights until the end of the season, has been given permission to negotiate with other clubs since November 1.

The hooker has reportedly been informed by Newcastle that he will not be retained, as the team looks to address their salary cap situation and has made roster changes that have pushed Brailey down the pecking order.

The signing of Matt Arthur and the promotion of Phoenix Crossland have further reduced Brailey's chances of staying with the Knights.
