But back on home soil, that was a good performance by them.

Yeah, again, good early signs.

We saw it last season.

They started the season off in a different way.

They got points, but in a sort of rough and tumble way.

This time it was with a bit of quality, which is better to see, I think.

And, I mean, Justin Vidic, like you mentioned there, he's someone I'm going to keep an eye on over the rest of this season.

Last season... forgetting this that they lost four of their first five matches last season because i kept thinking last year they won the australia cup as it was a good start to the season it wasn't they then got on the winning run after that and you'll know mark millican very well he's already just saying he's not concerned at the moment they're very close just to getting things right and things clicking into gears so no alarm bells at newcastle yet but frustrating to have had two matches that they'll feel they should have won and they end up with a point from both matches
