Johnson from first recieve at the scrum base... Pompey through and SCORES... although he BARELY got it down inside the dead ball line.

Both sides through those first couple of sets without issue.
KICKOFF. Warriors first use, Addin Fonua-Blake takes the first hit-up.
Newcastle now out there in their home jersey. Decent crowd on hand at McDonald Jones.
The Warriors wander out in their away jersey, which is really just their home jersey with a white mid-section and back (do better guys, it's next to pointless).
The Knights are 1-17 with one exception, Johns is benched with Croker starting at lock; meanwhile the Warriors lost captain Tohu Harris to a knee injury during the week. Tevaga starts lock, along with Curran starting second row and Sironen dropping to the bench. Tuaupiki is the new face on the interchange.
Not far off a start in this penultimate game of NRL Round 6. Easter Sunday night footy takes us to New Lambton, the lands of the Awabakal people for Newcastle Knights v Warriors.
