Twins' cheeky switch trick backfires with sin bin
Newcastle were well and truly out of the game late in the second half but they were still trying to seek an advantage.
Identical twins Jacob and Daniel Saifiti have had a cheeky switch backfire with the former sinbinned for a late shot on Tui Kamikamica.
With 13 minutes left in Melbourne and Newcastle's trial match, Jacob collected the Storm prop late after he shifted the ball on.
Adam Elliott was in came into the tackle late too but had a minimal impact. However, Kamikamica may have mistaken him for laying the tackle with a melee between the two breaking out.

In the aftermath, Newcastle were penalised for the shot with referee Belinda Sharpe waiting to hand down her punishment.
Sharpe called out for Jacob from the Knights huddle with Daniel approaching the referee, bringing a smile from Sharpe who said: "where's Jacob?"
The referee then told Daniel to bring out his brother with Jacob jumping off his chair to run back on.
"Hang on, the old switcheroo, the brothers, that's so clever from Newcastle," Fox League commentator Andrew Voss said.
"How did she pick it up? Belinda, how good was that?," Steve 'Blocker' Roach added.
Jacob was then placed on report and put in the sin bin for his act.
Roach argued the Knights may have had a case to keep 13 players on the field.
"Do you reckon it was late enough for a sin binning there. I thought it was a little bit late, we saw it in slow motion there, I'd like to see it in real time," he said.
The score at the time was 28-10 in favour of the Storm and despite Newcastle going down to 12-men, no points were added before full-time.
