The Knights came within three minutes of equalling a 30-year record in their stunning 20-6 win over the Roosters at the SCG on Saturday afternoon.The Knights hadn't held the Roosters tryless since way back in 1992 - and came oh so close.A desperation crossfield kick saw Paul Momirovski score for the Roosters in the 77th minute - but it mattered for nought as the Knights totally out-enthused their fancied opponents in a major upset.Newcastle have laid the foundations for a great season, with new buy Dane Gagai giving them much more strike power out wide.Few clubs in the NRL can match the Knights for clout out wide, with Gagai on the right edge and the dynamic Bradman Best on the left.New halfback Adam Clune played like a seasoned veteran and his combination with talented five-eighth Jake Clifford was a highlight of the win.It was a special day all around for the Knights - they had never previously won a match at the old home of football in Sydney, the famous SCG.
