UNSUCCESSFUL - ROOSTERS WIN

80min

NEWCASTLE CHALLENGE WITH 1 SECOND TO GO!

78min

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

77min

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

76min

PENALTY ROOSTERS: A high shot penalised against Jackson Hastings

74min

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

73min

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

73min

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

72min

Conversion: Roosters
Kicked by Sandon Smith.

Sandon Smith converts from close range

Roosters lead Knights 8 - 12 Roosters
72min

Try: Roosters
Scored by Siua Wong. Kick to come.

Try confirmed - The crowd not happy and personally can see why they aren't happy because it did look like there was a touch before Wong grounded it with the forearm

Roosters lead Knights 8 - 10 Roosters
71min

Maybe rain will create something interesting

70min

Egan Butcher FAILS his HIA

68min

Well that two minutes of highlight has faded back to dullness

67min

Naufahu Whyte loses the ball as the rain comes down

64min

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

62min

Conversion: Roosters
Kicked by Sandon Smith.

Sandon Smith converts from close range

Knights lead Knights 8 - 6 Roosters
62min

Try: Roosters
Scored by Salesi Foketi. Kick to come.

SOMETHING HAPPENED! Salesi Foketi creates something out of nothing with a big burst off a good ball from James Tedesco and despite a desperate try saver, Foketi gets it to ground

Knights lead Knights 8 - 4 Roosters
60min

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

60min

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)

57min

Penalty Goal: Knights
Kicked by Dane Gagai.

Dane Gagai slots the penalty goal to push the lead to 8-0

Knights lead Knights 8 - 0 Roosters
55min

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

53min

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

52min

SET RESTART: More shouty man action...

51min

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

49min

Roosters driven into touch as they get a rare attacking set

47min

Fletcher Hunt loses the ball and then is a sitting duck as Billy Smith comes in

45min

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

44min

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

40min

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

39min

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

35min

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

31min

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

28min

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

26min

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

26min

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.

25min

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

24min

So anyone got anything positive to say right now?

23min

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

20min

PENALTY KNIGHTS: Roosters too fast off their line and penalised

17min

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

16min

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

14min

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

13min

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

11min

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

7min

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

7min

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

5min

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

5min

Conversion: Knights
Kicked by Dane Gagai.

Dane Gagai bends the conversion back perfectly from out wide

Knights lead Knights 6 - 0 Roosters
4min

Try: Knights
Scored by Kyle McCarthy. Kick to come.

Too easy for the Knights - Dylan Lucas through the middle splits the Roosters defence. Next play, the numbers are with the Knights and Cogger goes into the line, times the pass to McCarthy

Knights lead Knights 4 - 0 Roosters
3min

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

1min
