UNSUCCESSFUL - ROOSTERS WIN

NEWCASTLE CHALLENGE WITH 1 SECOND TO GO!

Knights spread the ball through the hands and they hold Dane Gagai up short of the line

Newcastle make big metres and the Knights get another set after the kick came off Billy Smith into touch

PENALTY ROOSTERS: A high shot penalised against Jackson Hastings

SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE: Fletcher Hunt got the touch first and knocked it on

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Tedesco ruled to have knocked on in the contest and an offside Rooster picked it up

ROOSTERS ARE IN - A kick in behind from Tedesco and Wong gets to it first but questions are about grounding

Maybe rain will create something interesting

Egan Butcher FAILS his HIA

Well that two minutes of highlight has faded back to dullness

Naufahu Whyte loses the ball as the rain comes down

MOMENTUM SHIFT - The Roosters have momentum and get the ball in good field position as Kyle McCarthy didn't play the ball properly

NO TRY: James Schiller goes over, gets up shaking his head saying he hasn't scored but for some reason Gerard Sutton awards it. One replay shows Schiller drops it and it would've been grounded on the touch line

つまらない - Might as well bring some of my duolingo into this because it's more enthralling on this; (Hint: That word describes the game... BORING)

PENALTY KNIGHTS: The Knights get a penalty as Egan Butcher bizarrely runs a kick chaser who had no chance of getting to the ball off the ball 20m away... Knights to shoot for 2

Wow... that was an attacking masterclass from the Knights; Went nowhere in back-to-back sets and did nothing

SET RESTART: More shouty man action...

SET RESTART: Shouty man makes an appearance as the Roosters were inside the 10

Roosters driven into touch as they get a rare attacking set

SOMETHING ALMOST HAPPENED! - Dylan Lucas makes a half break but there was nobody backing up and he couldn't get the pass away. Then Knights last tackle kick is meh

Victor Radley has failed his HIA, which would have to increase questions about his future career

SECOND HALF IS GO! Surely it can't be as bad as the first half as the Knights start with the ball

James Schiller loses the ball and the Roosters get 46 seconds to do something

Greg Marzhew drops the ball.. and the excitement levels barely get past mild

Newcastle fans booing thinking Siua Wong was offside when he took the loose ball - Maybe they could boo at HT and make things more exciting in the second

Roosters shift the ball and make some good metres but an offload finds the ground and the play dies out as they shift left on last and get tackled

Full credit to Adam Gee not even bothering to try and say Nawaqanitawase because if I didn't have the ability to double click his name in our system, I'd not be bother typing like Adam Gee doesn't wanna say it

CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: Knights challenging a 20m restart call and it's successful as "Mark" sticks his foot out to play at it and it comes off him going dead.

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Probably a pretty good milking effort from Gagai but it was there as Billy Smith failed to release

So anyone got anything positive to say right now?

Now the Knights give away the ball inside their own end with a big forward pass from Jayden Brailey to Jack Cogger

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Roosters too fast off their line and penalised

Roosters survive as the grubber kick is knocked oy the Knights first into James Tedesco

Strange option from Brailey to grubber from dummy half but he gets a result as Whyte knocks on at his feet

Sandon Smith juggles the ball and ruins his timing so the pass goes forward deep in his own end

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Egan Butcher probably lucky that he didn't go to the sin bin, Knights last tackle option was a mess but the pass was grabbed at by Egan Butcher who hadn't left the ground

Roosters again try to push the risky offload and this time it's Mark Nawaqanitawase who offloads forward

Roosters try to force the issue, get lucky with the White offload but the last one isn't good

PENALTY ROOSTERS: First one of the night goes to the Roosters with the Knights markers being caught not square

Big set after points for the Knights as the Roosters are struggling to work it out of their own 30

Marzhew takes a catch then loses the ball coming to ground but it goes backwards

GAME ON! Roosters have first use of the ball as Gerard Sutton calls time on
