With 40 seconds left the Panthers have one final possession of the ball.

It's GOLDEN POINT HALF TIME. Neither team can seem to take a trick. Burton has kicked his field goal attempts everywhere but over the posts and the Knights have missed their share, as well as bombing a certain try. Here we go again.

The Knights have just bombed a certain try in a two-on-one situation and the game continues on.

PENALTY KNIGHTS. Penrith get caught out for being offside and the Knights have another chance for points.

A well weighted kick by Matt Burton is batted dead by Edrick Lee, meaning the Panthers will have another set of six from the goal line drop-out.

We're back under way for the second half of action as Zane Tetevano takes the first hit up of the half.

HALF TIME. The Newcastle Knights have bagged a late try to bring the score to 14-6. The Knights will be happy with this scoreline heading into the break considering both Mitchell Pearce and Connor Watson went down early in the half. A great showing of resolve in the face of adversity for this young Knights side. The Panthers will be disappointed to have let in the late try, however they have been solid throughout the half and haven't really been worried by what Newcastle have thrown at them apart from the late try. Kikau is proving strong on that left edge paired with Stephen Crichton. It all makes for an exciting second half, so stay tuned.

PENALTY KNIGHTS. An offside penalty gifts the Knights a late chance heading into the break.

Tim Glasby has passed his HIA and will be returning to the field.

A successful captain's challenge from Penrith means that they will go back to the previous play-the-ball.

Time off as Tim Glasby now goes down for the Knights. It looks like he'll be off for an HIA. Jacob Saifiti will come into the contest.

NO TRY. The Knights have been able to hold the ball up off the ground to deny Whare.

Referee Ben Cummins is going upstairs to check whether or not Dean Whare has successfully planted the ball down.

Connor Watson, Pearce's replacement in the halves, leaves the field with an ankle injury only minutes after Pearce's injury.

Goal line drop out coming up for Penrith.

PENALTY KNIGHTS. An offside kick chase leads to a Newcastle penalty.

Time off as Mitchell Pearce puts his head in an awkward position whilst attempting to make a tackle. Things don't look promising for Pearce and he may be gone for the game.

Panthers put up a bomb of their own through Matt Burton - it will be interesting to see how he goes today with fellow young Panther Jarome Luai as his partner

A decent start for the Knights as they make 55 metres in their first set. Pearce puts up the bomb and it is well handled by Caleb Aekins
