Knights frontrower Pasami Saulo is likely to emerge from the NRL lockdown in better shape than when he went in. The young father has taken to life in isolation better than most… balancing football and fatherhood.

When two Knights fans took their obsession online, they didn’t expect their podcast would become a fan favourite. Now in its fourth year, The Joust continues to grow in popularity.

Knights fullback Kalyn Ponga has celebrated his birthday in isolation as players adjust to living and training under the one roof. But it’s not all serious, if anything there’s more time to stir up the opposition and let bromances blossom.

Newcastle faces a nervous wait with enforcer, Mitch Barnett, undergoing scans for a suspected bicep injury. He’s not the only Knight likely to miss round three, as the club decides whether it will contest a one-match ban for Kalyn Ponga.

Newcastle has made it two from two as the NRL season hangs by a thread, too strong for the Tigers at Leichhardt Oval. The Knights traded blows with the home side before a Mitchell Pearce solo try started a second half roll on.
