Greg Marzhew equalled a club record with five tries as Newcastle posted its biggest win of the season and handed the Dragons a 13th straight loss.
- On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Newcastle Knights defeated the St George Illawarra Dragons 44-10 at WIN Stadium, with winger Greg Marzhew scoring five tries to equal the club record set by Edrick Lee in 2022.
- The winless Dragons have lost 13 consecutive games dating back to last season, with performance deteriorating significantly after coach Shane Flanagan's abrupt departure five days before a recent kick-off.
- In his second game back from a hamstring injury, fullback Kalyn Ponga contributed to seven tries as Newcastle established a dominant 32-0 lead by halftime through six first-half tries.
- The victory improves Newcastle to a 6-4 record under first-year coach Justin Holbrook, while the Dragons face a difficult upcoming schedule including matches against top-four sides Penrith and the Warriors.
- Facing a long rebuild, the Dragons remain winless after 10 rounds with a roster observers say struggles to compete, while North Queensland Cowboys co-captain Tom Dearden suffered a syndesmosis injury requiring 6-8 weeks recovery.
