In this week's Rookie Report, we take a look at the nib Newcastle Knights pathways teams in the Knock-On-Effect NSW Cup, Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership and Jersey Flegg Cup.
After a week off last round, the two men's teams travelled down the M1 to take on the Dragons while the NSW Women's Premiership side took on the Saints last Saturday.
See how each team fared:
NSW Cup - Knights 27-20 Dragons
The NSW Cup side returned to the winner's circle with a seven-point victory over the Dragons in Round 11.
Fielding a strong line-up and returning NRL players including Jake Clifford, Jack Johns, Sauaso Sue, Jirah Momoisea, Brodie Jones, Simi Sasagi and Tex Hoy, the team ran in five tries to the Dragons three.
Honeti Tuha scored a double on the wing while Sasagi, Brayden Musgrove and Heath Gibbs scored the other four-pointers.
Halfback, Dylan Phythian, converted a late field goal to cement the two points.
The result lifts the team up to eighth spot on the ladder with their fourth win of the season.
The NSW Cup side will take on the Penrith Panthers next round this Sunday at St Johns Oval, Charlestown.
