With Newcastle and Brisbane struggling from the thick run of fixtures, the contest descended into a bit of a slug-fest, minus the slugging.
Dimitri Petratos 7.5 – He constantly played forward passes tonight. He turned his man many times and set up some wonderful attacks. However, he’s still not as dangerous as he was in the first few games of the season.
Jason Hoffman 7.5 – A great goal. Took Nabbout's ball in his stride, beating Papadopoulos and lifted it over the on-rushing Jaimie Young majestically. He didn’t do much else though.

Andrew Nabbout 8 – Provided an amazing assist for Jason Hoffman. Must have been getting into some of his dad’s old weightlifting routines because he was much too strong for the Brisbane defence tonight. He's been superb for the Jets this season.
Devante Clut 5 – Didn’t have his eye in, putting several good chances way off target. That’s understandable from someone who hasn’t had much game time this season, but if he wants more minutes he needs to score from every chance he gets.
Subs
Pato Rodriguez 6 – Entered the game at halftime and looked very dangerous. He featured in every one of Newcastle’s second half highlights.
John Koutroumbis 5 – Didn’t have long to impact the game but his fresh legs up front caused a worry or two.
Angus Thurgate 5 – Was just a few inches off scoring on debut. Only had a couple of minutes on the pitch but it won’t be the last chance he gets.
