Playing the Cowboys in Townsville is never easy, but the Newcastle Knights managed to come away with the 2 points on Saturday night.
This was in no small part due to their efforts in defence, where veteran lock Jeremy Smith was at his best.
While other players grabbed the headlines with tries and attacking runs, Smith made a difference in the middle of the field where he was up against the likes of internationals such as Matt Scott, James Tamou and Jason Taumalolo.
