    Whether Blues coach Laurie Daley goes with two Eels, one or none on Sunday night, Zac Lomax and Mitch Moses will be content they did all they could as Parramatta put a hapless Newcastle to the sword 28-6 at McDonald Jones Stadium. In a stunning return from a six-week absence recovering from a broken foot, Lomax monstered the Knights with two tries, four goals and 271 running metres in what was effectively an 80-minute Origin audition.

    On face value, Newcastle’s 34-14 loss to Cronulla at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday looked a lot like their 20-4 defeat by Wests Tigers at the same ground seven days earlier.

    Sharks prop Oregon Kaufusi would prefer to let his actions speak for him. And if words are necessary, the 25-year-old Samoan international is happy to let Cronulla hooker Blayke Brailey, coach Craig Fitzgibbon or captain Cam McInnes be his mouthpiece. Kaufusi crashed over to score the first try in Cronulla’s 34-14 thumping of Newcastle at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday, then his sharp short pass helped set up their second for fellow front-rower Addin Fonua-Blake.

    It was four years in the making, but Wests Tigers centre Starford To’a has finally tasted success against the club where he began his NRL career. Toa scored a try, set up another and even spent 10 minutes in the sin-bin after a squabble with Dane Gagai in his team’s comprehensive 20-4 victory over an under-strength and out-of-sorts Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday.
