Latrell Mitchell kicks the penalty goal right on full time to end an eventful final 90 seconds
David Klemmer has been sent off for reckless contact direct to the head putting an elbow onto the Souths player with the ball
PENALTY SOUTHS: There's a group of players all admiring each other holding each other as play goes on but Souths get a penalty for a strip
Especially given Bradman Best didn't live up to his first name with the great man or being the best when he got held up
That was awful from the Knights as they kick for Edrick Lee but it's a terrible kick that Paulo takes safely
Repeat set for the Knights although questions why Klemmer ended up with the ball to slow down play
Souths just playing conservative football at the moment as the game has sort of gone into a holding pattern despite the Knights being within reach of levelling
Anthony Milford converts to close the gap to 10
Mitch Barnett gets the ball from Brailey at dummy half and runs the angle and the defence splits and he goes through
Latrell Mitchell's kick has too much hook to the right on it and is waved away
Jaxson Paulo is over as Souths spread wide and then the most abysmal defence you could see as none of the Knights put their body on the line
SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE: Todd Smith rules a knock-on and it looks that way at first but it's lost backwards on replay and the call is overturned
Dom Young on the counter-attack loses the ball after Souths lose it and Todd Smith calls the Knights took their advantage
From out wide Anthony Milford converts and closes the gap to 12
EDRICK!!! The Knights finally find their groove again after looking lost and the ball swings out to the left and Lee gets over

Latrell Mitchell converts from close range
Tevita Tatola gets the green lights after Tex Hoy can't ground the ball
BUNKER: Souths claiming a try but Todd Smith says NO TRY saying that Tex Hoy grounded it before Souths got there.
CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: Souths challenging the decision of not played at; This time referee Todd Smith's decision is overturned
UNSUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE: Dom Young's foot goes back into the ruck and forces the error so the call is right from the referee
CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: Knights challenging Todd Smith's call of ruck interference which looks an odd one tbh
PENALTY KNIGHTS: Richie Kennar penalised for a high shot
PENALTY SOUTHS: Knights kick chase offside which compounds an awful kick
Lost ball helps the Knights with their first attacking set for about 20 minutes
Latrell Mitchell's kick off the boot looks horrible but it has more hook in it than a Melbourne turn but still not good enough to go through the uprights
Richie Kennar with so much open space in front of him as the Knights defence is in all sorts of trouble as Dom Young charged in about 15m infield and Kennar is on the outside for a simple stroll
A double whammy for the Knights and Adam Clune; Loses the ball and then cops an accidental knee
SECOND HALF IS GO! Souths start with the ball for the second half as they lead by 8
HALF TIME - What a game of Rugby League it is out there in Newcastle as the Rabbitohs ran 3 tries in in the last 10 minutes to take a 24-16 lead at the break
Latrell Mitchell converts from in front
All clear given as Walker raced 80m taking the intercept after an awful pass from Matt Croker was intercepted
SIX AGAIN x 2 - The bell goes off twice but the Bunnies take an intercept and Cody Walker races away; Some contact in the background to check
PENALTY KNIGHTS: Slow ruck from the Bunnies and on the attack go the Knights
Almost a replay of his last conversion, Latrell Mitchell from the same spot as before hits the ball exactly the same as last time and the flags go up
BACK-TO-BACK - Richie Kennar is on the outside of his man and the easiest way to get the ball out of him is a classy kick from Cody Walker who puts it on Kennar's chest
PENALTY KNIGHTS: More ill-disciplined play for the Knights as they give away a penalty for a slow ruck and the Bunnies are on the attack again
Latrell Mitchell leaves no doubt about that kick as he slots the goal from near touch
Starting the set having to dropout; Souths go up the other end as the Knights defence on the right is cut to pieces between some good work between Walker & Mitchell before Kennar scores
PENALTY SOUTHS: Too slow off the ruck after the Bunnies regained the short dropout
What a kick chase - Milford kicks down field from just inside his own half, Latrell is left in a cul-de-saq then finds Paulo who then gets shoved back in goal
Anthony Milford converts from wide out to extend the lead
What the hell were Souths doing? Edrick Lee gets a free jump at the ball and then on his outside, Bradman Best only has open space in front of him
Anthony Milford tries a 20/40 but the last bounce of the ball wasn't what the Knights wanted
Both sides matching each other in attack at the moment as both sides are creating opportunities
Anthony Milford converts from close range
Despite Todd Smith sending up the decision no try - David Klemmer gets his first Knights try after 75 games in the red & blue after Edrick Lee took a good catch and a touch by Leo Thompson was ruled backwards and Klemmer picked it up to score
PENALTY KNIGHTS: Latrell Mitchell penalised for a high tackle and goes on report as Dom Young has to go off for a HIA after the contact
PENALTY KNIGHTS: A high tackle penalty against the Rabbitohs and Knights on the attack
Tex Hoy pushes the conversion across the face of the posts
COUNTER ATTACK - Dom Young saved a certain try charging like Nature Strip at Royal Ascot before Knights counter-attack and go up the other way and Young surges to the line
Latrell Mitchell converts from in front
Cody Walker celebrated as if he knew the try was going to be disallowed but it's somehow awarded despite running into Tom Burgess in front of him. One for an explanation on Monday but it's awarded now
Latrell goes close off the scrum
Tex Hoy comes in for the running jump to take the high kick but loses it
Anthony Milford aims for the upright but doesn't get it on target and it goes dead
PENALTY KNIGHTS - The Knights get a much needed penalty after surviving the attacking raid from the Rabbitohs that started to get directionless
Latrell Mitchell throws a pass with an overlap but an important hand from Dom Young knocks it down and saves the Knights
SIX MORE - Latrell's pass touched on the last tackle and Souths get a big attacking chance now
Chris Randall loses the ball and Souths get their first set inside the Knights half
TIME OFF - TIme off already after tackle 1 with Tevita Tatola penalised for a shot and then hits teammate Lachlan Illias who is bleeding
GAME ON! Todd Smith in control calls time on and we're underway in Newcastle - Souths kick off
