Spooners to 2-0… but Knights rocked by $2.7m double injury blow in ‘insipid’ Manly thrashing
The Knights may be 2-0 after a thumping win over Manly, but it’s hard for their fans to celebrate too hard given they will be without $2.7m of their salary cap next week with superstars Kalyn Ponga and Dylan Brown both going off injured.
The 36-16 victory at 4 Pines Park continued Justin Holbrook’s dream start at the helm after they claimed the wooden spoon last season, but the coach will be praying for a positive result after his two best players suffered leg injuries.

The Newcastle Knights are counting the cost of a 36-16 win over Manly after superstars Kalyn Ponga and Dylan Brown both missed the entire second half at Brookvale Oval with injuries.
Ponga was cut down by a hamstring injury while scoring a 90-metre team try and tried to play on before succumbing, while halfback Dylan Brown suffered a left knee injury while setting up a try for Ponga's replacement, Fletcher Hunt, just before half-time.
"It's not ideal two playmakers going down, but the boys did the job for us massive," Ponga said.

Justin Holbrook loses another star Dylan Brown to knee injury
The injury toll for the Knightss continues to build up, as Dylan Brown suffered a MCL injury in the first half against the Manly Sea Eagles.
In the 25th minute, Ponga went down grabbing his right hamstring after scoring a try.
Dylan Brown was on the ground with the trainer shortly after, suffering an MCL injury while setting up Fletcher Hunt for a try.
He continued playing until the end of the first half, but the discomfort showed on Brown's face and the decision was called for him to leave the game.
The playmaker is most likely set to miss a month on the sidelines.
