The Knights are in an 'embarrassing' form slump - and Kalyn Ponga admits it's the worst he has experienced.

Fox League commentator Andrew Voss labelled the Newcastle defence "embarrassing" as he watched the Storm score try after try in what was a dismal day for any red and blue supporter.Michael Ennis barely had words to describe how bad the Knights have become.

"The way they've been beaten at home - they were beaten by Manly in the wet, they were towelled up by Parramatta last week," Ennis said.After the game, O'Brien claimed this loss was more positive than the one to the Eels last week.The Knights have a horror injury toll at the moment - something fans have become accustomed to in recent years - and the coach says things can only get better from here."We are trying hard. I thought we tried hard.

"The only answer is to stick together and fight our way. We'll do it, I've seen it before. Unfortunately we have done it annually for a long period of time now."No one is going to feel sorry for us, and we don't want that. We don't want people's sympathy. We will get together and we'll fight it." Ponga, sitting next to the coach, was asked if this was the worst fortnight he has endured in his time at the Knights.For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by
