Try: Titans

Another length-of-the-field effort! Treymain Spry - who has been sensational - takes the kick with confidence, steams through a hole and links inside with Taylor who runs away to score!

Titans lead Titans 26 - 6 Knights
59min

The Titans still with far more energy and AJ Brimson really threatening after a relatively quiet opening half.

49min

Not the right option there from Ash Taylor. The Titans go left and spread it but the Knights slide and have it handled. Taylor should have played it short but he goes long and it goes into touch.

48min

A big six more for the Titans inside the Newcastle half.

47min

Up to the Bunker. The Knights find numbers on the left and Edrick Lee kicks ahead. Mitchell Pearce claims a try but he loses possession.

45min

Ashley Taylor to Brian Kelly who ALMOST forces his way over but Knights scramble to take him on the last. They're inside their own 10 on the first though so they need some strong metres here.

42min

Rain coming down as Newcastle drop it again. This 10-point lead may be enough the way the Knights are playing.

41min

A forward pass from the Titans though relieves any pressure on the Knights.

40min

But the Knights put it down and the Titans have it on halfway.

40min

Energy early in defence from the Titans but they concede a relieving penalty.

Attempted by Ashley Taylor.

From the sideline - Taylor misses to the left.

Titans lead Titans 16 - 6 Knights
37min

Ashley Taylor engages the line and passes short for Kevin Proctor. Then he goes to the right edge and is taken 30 out. Plenty of involvement from him. Jai Arrow cleans up. The Knights play at the kick on the last and it is six more 40 out.

DESPERATION! Ponga jinks and kicks - the Knights have two chasers but Treymain Spry gets back there to just hit it dead.

31min

Mason Lino forces a much-needed dropout with a nice kick.

29min

Moeaki Fotuaika comes up with an error though and the Knights are let off the hook.

29min

Big penalty for the Titans and they can really go ahead with this now to take a bigger lead.

28min

A solid set in reply from the Knights to take Anthony Don near the 20 but Titans still with all the running at the moment as time is stopped with Herman Ese'ese - a soon-to-be Titan - being checked for a potential arm or wrist injury. He will keep playing.

27min

A fantastic kick and great chase to trap Kalyn Ponga 10 out on the first.

26min

Kicked by Ashley Taylor.

Taylor makes it 12-0

Titans lead Titans 12 - 0 Knights

23min

Taylor gets this kick right though, forcing Kalyn Ponga in-goal with a deft short grubber.

22min

But again the Knights squander any chance to build pressure with Bradman Best dropping it in the tackle of Tyrone Peachey.

21min

A poor kick on the last from Ash Taylor and it is taken in-goal by Kalyn Ponga.

20min

Momentum is not going to turn if the Knights keep doing that. Daniel Saifiti with a simple dropped ball. Titans with it on their 20.

19min

Momentum may be turning as Newcastle earn a mid-count penalty and find touch 40 out.

18min

But they bomb it as Kevin Proctor puts it down. Titans well on top but that's a really poor error.

17min

Six more for the Titans.

16min

Jamal Fogarty with great vision to put an unmarked Anthony Don streaming down the right win. Bradman Best runs him down as Don steps inside. They then go left and Brian Kelly makes a break and tries to find Ashley Taylor in support. Kalyn Ponga hits it down and it is taken in an offside position by a Knight. Titans take the tap.

15min

It's building nicely for the Titans but Jarrod Wallace tries to force the offload and loses it 10 out.

13min

Ash Taylor on fire early forcing a dropout with a well-weighted kick.

11min

A cheap penalty for a high shot helps the Titans out of their own end.

10min

Sione Mata'utia with the late offload to create space for Lee who forces his way over but his foot is in touch. That's another try denied for the Knights.

9min

The Titans building with a six again but Proctor comes up with an error and the Knights get it right back close to the Gold Coast line.

8min

Mitch Barnett with an error in the play-the-ball. Not a threatening set though with plenty of sideways movement handled with ease by the Titans.

7min

The kick from Mason Lino is good and Brian Kelly can't clean it up. But there's a touch from Aidan Guerra in there. Pearce picks up the scraps to score. It goes up to the Bunker. Kelly with the first knock on so Newcastle get a scrum and full set 10 out.

5min

Jarrod Wallace with the offload and Tyrone Peachey links with Alexander Brimson - plenty of confidence here from the Titans and they are threatening but the play is shut down on halfway. The kick ricochets on the last and it doesn't work out well for the home side who turn it over inside their own half.

4min

Conversion: Titans
Kicked by Ashley Taylor.

Taylor kicks the goal.

Titans lead Titans 6 - 0 Knights
3min

Try: Titans
Scored by Ashley Taylor. Kick to come.

He started it and the nifty halfback finishes it! Taylor with a beautiful cut-out ball and the Titans stream down the left edge and Taylor is backing up in support to score.

Titans lead Titans 4 - 0 Knights
2min

A big run from David Klemmer and the Knights clear it on the last on halfway through Mitchell Pearce. Alexander Brimson under it on the 20.

1min

A no-nonsense opening set from the home side, ending in the hands of Kalyn Ponga who takes the bomb. Knights inside their own 20 so a great result for the Titans.

Underway and the Titans with first use of it.

Tough one to pick - I'm personally opting for the Titans by seven.

Meanwhile, Newcastle will lock up a home final against Souths with a win tonight.

The home side are chasing five-straight wins and will be looking to continue building confidence with high expectations of more improvement next year.

Good evening and welcome to League Unlimited's live blog of tonight's game between the Titans and Knights.
