Still no rub of the green for Newcastle's red and blue

WELL, Ashley Klein has done it again, refereeing the Knights in Canberra. Two penalties in the last five minutes completely took the game away from them ('Final blow', Newcastle Herald 20/6). The bunker was not far behind in some of the rulings they made, and it would appear that the Knights are a long way off getting the rub of the green.

After all that, on occasions, the Knights were their own worst enemies; not backing up a break by Ponga and Randall, who made a couple of decisive runs but also was forced to go to the ground. I think the wingers for the Knights should be wearing the 8 and 10 jumpers for the amount of times they had to run the ball out of the 20-metre zone.
