Wests Tigers vs Newcastle Knights - Round 6, 2026
The result
Wests Tigers put this one away early, racing to a 24-point lead at halftime after Sunia Turuva crossed inside four minutes, and never looked back in a 42 to 22 win at Campbelltown Sports Stadium. The Knights' best comeback effort after the break still left them 20 points adrift.
How it unfolded
Wests Tigers ran for 2177 all run metres to the Knights' 1313 and led the line break count 10 to 4, doing the bulk of the attacking work all night. The Knights held the edge in completion rate, 82 percent to Wests Tigers' 76 percent, but it barely dented the flow of the game.
Against projection
Jock Madden ran out 80 minutes at halfback and put up 54 points against a break even of minus 3, while Terrell May got through only 68 minutes off the middle but still returned 73 points with a try. Fonua Pole's night was cut shortest among the forwards, finishing with just 45 minutes on the field.
Price moves
Alex Twal's price rose $47,000 after a score of 70 against a break even of 29, while Jahream Bula climbed $41,000 with 67 against a break even of just 26. On the other side, Alex Seyfarth fell $45,000 after managing only 10 against a break even of 46, and Fletcher Sharpe dropped $41,000 with 27 well short of his break even of 65. Dylan Lucas also slid $25,000, scoring 38 against a break even of 63.
Ownership outcome
Dane Gagai, a commonly held centre, delivered 69 points with a try and a try assist, comfortably clearing his break even of 6 and adding to his price rise elsewhere in the round. Adam Doueihi's 63 points from three try assists came from a role that plenty of coaches lean on week to week, giving them a reliable return rather than a surprise.
