Shortly after, he returned from a foot injury in the Jersey Flegg Cup, scoring three tries and being named man of the match.[15] The following week, in Round 23, he made his NRL debut for the Newcastle club in their 4-46 loss to the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium.[15] In round 24, he scored his first NRL try in Newcastle’s 38-4 win over the Gold Coast Titans at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle.[16]2020[edit]Despite scoring two tries in Round 3 against the Penrith Panthers, Best failed to provide an assist to teammate Edrick Lee in the final stages of the match; which ended in a 14\u201314 draw.[17] In response, Lee and Best practiced one-on-one passing in the lead-up to the Round 4 match against the Canberra Raiders.[17] In the Round 4 match, Best scored another two tries and provided a try assist; which had Lee score the try in a similar scenario to the previous match.[18] After the game, Best sparked instantaneous social media attention, controversially likened to other Australian athletes such as Don Bradman for his performance in Newcastle’s 34\u201318 win over Canberra.[19]2021[edit]On 27 March, Best was ruled out of action for four weeks with an elbow injury in Newcastle’s victory over the New Zealand Warriors.[20]In round 14, Best was taken from the field in Newcastle’s loss against South Sydney and was ruled out for an indefinite period.[21]Best returned to the Newcastle side for their round 20 match against Canberra.[22] In Round 21 against Brisbane, he injured his shoulder during the game and was taken to hospital for scans.[23]2022[edit]In round 11 of the 2022 NRL season, Best was taken from the field during Newcastle’s defeat against Brisbane with a dislocated elbow.  Best was later ruled out from playing for an indefinite period.[24]On 16 August, it was announced that Best had been stood down from the Newcastle club for not meeting team standards. Best had played in the club’s loss against Brisbane in Round 22 but failed to make the team bus which was heading to the airport the next morning.[25]References[edit]^ “Newcastle Knights debutant Bradman Best wants to make name for himself”.
