Knights forward Jirah Momoisea has surged into cheapie calculations with a brilliant display for Newcastle in Monday night’s trial against the Bulldogs.

Momoisea is a relative unknown in cheapie land at just eight per cent ownership, but will now climb in popularity after a game-high 55 KFC SuperCoach points.

The New Zealand-born forward’s haul included a try with linebreak, 11 runs for 80m and 12 tackles.

Momoisea’s strong showing enhances his claims for a round one bench spot for Adam O’Brien’s side.

Other cheapies to star in the weekend trials included Penrith’s Izack Tago (65), Wests Tigers’ Kelma Tuilagi (45), Parramatta’s Sean Russell (42), St George Illawarra’s Talatau Amone (40), Manly’s Tolutau Koula (37), Melbourne’s Josh King (37) and Jack Howarth (41), and Canterbury’s Paul Amaloti (27).
