Rookie fullback David Armstrong went a long way to saving the Knights' season in his top grade debut against the Dolphins. In a must-win game for Newcastle, the 23-year-old from Goondiwindi was outstanding, scoring a try, making several breaks and defending safely. With marquee man Kalyn Ponga set to miss many weeks with a foot injury, the Knights' season could have imploded if Armstrong didn't adequately fill the void yesterday. But the fact he played so competently in his debut has proved a massive boost for the Knights and he was a key figure in the upset win over the disappointing Dolphins.
