It was a sloppy season opener for the Raiders as dropped ball cost them plenty of good attacking opportunities, and created plenty of pressure on their own line. The Raiders got off to a solid start against a stiff breeze at the Newcastle ground to score the first four pointer, but a failure to complete their sets of six tackles hurt the Green machine, as they went into the break down 10-4. It was almost one-way traffic for the first 20 minutes of the second half as the Knights extended their lead to 18-4 with 19 minutes remaining, before two tries to Adrian Purtell bridged the gap to just four points with 10 minutes left. But the Knights held their own to score two late tries and run away with the match and the first two competition points of the season.
