It's been a long time since McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle has been considered a rugby league 'fortress'.And, if anything, in the last couple of years rival teams have enjoyed the trip to the Hunter, more often than not coming away with the points.But things have changed in the last couple of months - and how.The Knights have won six of their past eight games at home and suddenly find themselves on the cusp of the top eight.Saturday night's upset 26-18 win over the Storm was all heart, with the Knights, spurred on by the near capacity crowd, simply wanting it more than their opponents.It was also a major psychological victory for the Knights - they had lost their last 11 straight games against the Storm in a horror run stretching back to 2015.
