Match Centre

FULL TIME in Newcastle and the Knights book their finals spot with a 32-6 win

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Tom Hazelton penalised for a crusher and ON REPORT

The inconsistencies of the NRL referees decision making; Very similar to the unsuccessful challenge for the Sharks which was ruled wrapping the ball up; This time they rule as Jacob Saifiti went to the line and was stripped by Toby Rudolf

The Fins are down for the Sharks as they are just capitulating at the end of this

Sharks don't get the kick-off going 10m

Bradman Best is over but there is some big issues with Kalyn Ponga

PENALTY SHARKS: A much needed penalty for the Sharkies as Tyson Frizell stays on top of the ruck

Leo Thompson running towards the line but loses the ball short of the line

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Jesse Colquhoun concedes the penalty for smothering the man playing the ball

UNSUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE: The Sharks ruled to have lost the ball with the bunker saying that Nikora was trying to offload; Sharks under more defensive pressure now

CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: Sharks challenging a lost ball ruling from Ashley Klein; They are challenging strip call and contact

Sharks survive an attacking raid from the Knights that didn't really put much fear in the defence and they get the ball beyond the 20

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Sharks kick too deep and then on zero tackle, Tom Hazelton penalised for a slow ruck which he got warned about in the previous set

SECOND HALF IS GO! The Knights have first use of the ball as scores are locked

HALF TIME at Newcastle and both sides had tries disallowed by the bunker but it's locked up at 6-6

PENALTY SHARKS; A slow ruck penalised by Ashley Klein and the Sharks get over the Knights 40

INTO TOUCH - Braydon Trindall with an important covering tackle as Dom Young got on the outside of the Sharks defence but bang Trindall wins the battle again

PENALTY KNIGHTS: The Sharks penalised as Briton Nikora was repeatedly called offside by Ashley Klein but was still involved

Sharks lose the ball on their own 10 and the Knights are going to attack the line again

INCONCLUSIVE CHALLENGE: There's no evidence that Nikora touched it so Grant Atkins says inconclusive and the Knights hold their challenge

CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: The Knights tackled on the last tackle and Klein rules a changeover BUT Knights challenge believing a Sharks touch on the way through

NO TRY - There was always a doubt about it getting down from Nikora as the ruling from the bunker is that Nikora never got it to ground and then lost it

Briton Nikora goes over, there's some doubt over the grounding but Ashley Klein is happy that it got to the ground off a good run but does it get there?

PENALTY SHARKS: Tyson Frizell flops into the tackle late

That wasn't the plan from Newcastle but they nearly pulled it off on the last tackle

Sharks turn the ball over and the Knights having the ascendency at the moment

Ramien reads the play perfectly goes for the intercept but can't take it

Lost ball from the Sharks on their own 30 as the Knights attack

Sharks going for the high kicks aiming for Wade Graham who taps the ball back again but the Sharks chasers aren't backing him up

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Sharks dropout goes short, too short in fact

BUNKER REVIEW: Grant Atkins not happy with confirming the try and the replay so that Dom Young is out when he grounds the ball

First attack on the Sharks line and the Knights take advantage as Dom Young goes over in the corner but there's some doubt on the grounding and sideline

PENALTY KNIGHTS: First of the game to Newcastle with the Sharks called offside by Ashley Klein

Knights come away from their own line after some luck

Simple take for Ponga at the back off Trindall's kick

GAME ON! Ashley Klein has the whistle in Newcastle and the Sharks have the ball first
