The Newcastle Knights mid-season revival stretched to back-to-back National Rugby league wins after disposing of a lacklustre Parramatta Eels 20-12 last night.
Backing up from Monday night's upset win over Wests Tigers, the Knights scored three tries early in the second half to put the Eels away - their run without consecutive wins stretching to just less than two years.
Having gone to the break locked up at 6-6 following James McManus' fifth-minute try, the Knights blew the Eels away with three tries in the space of 17 minutes after the restart.
Parramatta gave their fans some hope of yet another late comeback when Ken Sio scored to reduce the gap to eight points with eight minutes remaining, but they failed to convert half chances over the closing stages.
