Rookie Report: Flegg side come from behind to down ladder leaders

In this week's Rookie Report, we take a look at the nib Newcastle Knights pathways teams in the Knock-On-Effect NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg Cup competitions.

In Round 22, the NSW Cup side travelled down to North Sydney Oval on Sunday to take on the Bears.

Meanwhile, our Jersey Flegg Cup team played the Sydney Roosters in a top of the table clash on Sunday in Sydney.

See how both teams fared:

NSW Cup - Knights 4-60 Bears

The NSW Cup side has gone down by 56 points to the North Sydney Bears on Sunday.

Nicholas O'Meley scored the Knights sole four-pointer as the Bears posted 11 tries on their way to victory.

The NSW Cup side remain in ninth spot and the result rules them out of finals contention.

They will take on the Canberra Raiders in Round 23 next start in a curtain-raiser ahead of the NRL and NRLW fixture.

Jersey Flegg Cup - Knights 22-14 Roosters

In a huge result for our Jersey Flegg Cup team, the side toppled the ladder leading Sydney Roosters by eight points on Sunday in Sydney.

The Roosters were fast out of the blocks scoring three tries in the first half.

Knights centre, James Johnson got across the line to give the red and blue a boost heading into the change of ends.

The Knights put on the attacking flair in the second half with Fletcher Sharpe showcasing his speed to race 40 metres and score under the posts.

Two barge-over tries from Noah Nailagoliva put the Knights in front while the team was good enough to hold the Roosters to nil in the second half to claim the win.

The result keeps the Knights in second spot on the ladder with 13 wins for the season.

Looking to solidify a top two place, the side will be back at home to take on the Canberra raiders this Saturday at No.2 Sports Ground.
