PENALTY Rabbitohs - The Knights still lead the count 9-7 though.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-12

The Knights almost with another great play, but the final around the back pass to Cory Denniss is put down. They're entertaining when they throw it around, the Knights!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-12

Gagai is dragged over the sideline this time just 5 metres out from the Rabbitohs line. Attack, over.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-6

PENALTY Knights - Some intensity in the tackles out there but the Rabbitohs penalised for infringing the ten.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-6

The Knights get it back now after a Souths error and will try to get a consolation try..

South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-6

Looks like a bit of playful niggle. Nothing much in it, but Walker is penalised for 'instigating'

South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-6

There's some biff on the right wing! Gagai and Walker get into some niggle after a half break from Gagai.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-6

Another 1 on 1 strip, this time from the Rabbitohs, but the Knights get it back and continue up the field.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 34-6

The ref calls it a 1 on 1 strip, even though there were a lot of players in that tackle. Strange. Either way, Elliott lost it and grounded it in-goal and it's a dropout

South Sydney Rabbitohs 28-6

BUNKER - Checking for a grounding here from Sutton, but that's not a chance as it appears Brendan Elliott has stolen the ball in the tackle.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 28-6

A decent crowd of 15,212 for the Old Boys game at Hunter Stadium

South Sydney Rabbitohs 28-6

The Rabbitohs get the ball after a Knights mistake and they're attacking hard!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-6

BUNKER ...and the debutant might have scored here! He goes for a dive over from dummy half! Going to the video!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-0

Dylan Phythian runs onto the field for his NRL debut.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-0

Reynolds goes for the chip infield to Walker again, but it's cleaned up this time by Cory Denniss.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-0

PENALTY Rabbitohs - Neat grubber from Mullen is cleaned up by the Rabbitohs and then Randall is ruled to be offside from the kick. Very harsh call and seems to reflect the Knights' season..

South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-0

PENALTY Knights - A bit too much attention there from the Rabbitohs in the tackle

South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-0

PENALTY Rabbitohs - A Newcastle hand has been judged to pull out the ball and the Rabbitohs get a new set 30 metres out.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-0

The second half kicks off here! Can the Knights turn it around and restore some pride at home, or will the Rabbitohs run amok?

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-0

We'll be back in 10 mins for the second half!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-0

Half-time here at Hunter Stadium. The Knights have had their chances, but execution has been very poor. The Rabbitohs have almost faltered a few times close to the line, but have more class today.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-0

The Bunnies almost with more points, but Brown throws a forward pass to Reynolds who was away!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-0

A perfectly executed try, that one. What a combo!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-0

PENALTY Rabbitohs - A mystical penalty for pulling a player back in-goal after he surrendered on the ground just outside the goal line. Interesting interpretation.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 10-0

PENALTY Knights - The Knights, through Denniss, intercept a pass from Reynolds and he is almost flipped in the air in the tackle. All good, but the penalty is fair.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 10-0

PENALTY Rabbitohs - A sneaky elbow in the tackle and the Bunnies get another chance..

South Sydney Rabbitohs 10-0

Inglis is still on, but that ankle will be throbbing.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 10-0

Uh oh. Inglis is on the deck after twisting an ankle after a jump for the ball.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 10-0

What looked like a huge run by GI has been called back for an obstruction! Damien Cook looked to have muffed a certain try after a pass from Inglis too!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 10-0

BUNKER - South Sydney may have scored here, but the bunker will look at an obstruction here. Looks ok.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

Huge run from Alex Johnston after a mistake from the Knights! The Bunnies are back on the attack down the other end now after he picks up a loose ball and runs 60 metres!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

PENALTY Knights - Another set coming for the Knights as the Rabbitohs lie on the tackled player again.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

Big run from Daniel Saifiti, but no support. The Knights are getting so close, but lack the execution!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

The set finishes with a neat kick in-goal from Hodkinson and the Rabbitohs will drop-kick it out this time.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

PENALTY Knights - Offside from the Rabbitohs and the Knights will have a full set inside the Bunnies' 20.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

The restart sees the Rabbitohs had the ball to the Knights in a sloppy pass and then Sione Mata'utai makes a great run down the field.
Knights on the attack!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

Sam Burgess with another great offload, this time to Walker who has been hurt in the tackle just 4 metres short of the line.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

Mullen is being seen to here. He's up and about, but looks a little worse for wear.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

Lovely offload from Sam Burgess and the Rabbitohs get close again, but force another dropout for the Knights.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

The Rabbitohs couldn't find a way to the line there with a nothing kick on the last from Joe Burgess. The Knights work it out of their 20.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

Interesting stat. First game in 17 years that has featured two sets of three brothers playing against each other. (Burgess and Mata'utias)

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

An attacking kick from Mullen is plucked out of the air by Joe Burgess. Close stuff there.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

The Rabbitohs kick on the last and the Knights take in on the full via Denniss. Running hard now with their extra tackle.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

GI picked up the loose ball and ran almost 50 metres. He's looking hot today!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

PENALTY Knights - A bit of tension there from Cody Walker after a tackle and penalty. Another six for Newcastle.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

PENALTY Knights - The Rabbitohs lying on the tackled player. Chance now for the home team.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

Inglis dishes it to Joe Burgess and he sprints down the left wing and cuts in, but loses the ball just short of the line. Turnover!

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0

WOW! This could be a miracle try for GI! An innocuous kick through by the Rabbitohs may have been planted!

0 all

Cody Walker runs it and gets close. The Bunnies get real close in the following play with a kick for Inglis, but it's knocked dead by the Knights. Dropout 2 for the Knights.

0 all

Jake Mamo takes a kick in-goal and tries to run it hard, but can't get out. Dropout for the Knights.

0 all

The Knights pick up Aaron Gray who is upside down, but they place him back down carefully.

0 all

Newcastle attempt an attacking raid down the left which ends with a kick infield from Cory Denniss. It's tidied up by the Rabbitohs and they work it out of their half.

0 all

Kick-off! The Knights start with the ball and complete their first set on a sunny afternoon in Newcastle..

0 all

Jeremy Smith will play his last home game this afternoon and leads the Newcastle Knights out onto Hunter Stadium.

The Rabbitohs will be hoping to snatch their third straight victory this afternoon after a very disappointing season. The Knights will be the wooden spooners and have a bad history against the Rabbitohs.
Will it be a white-wash, or will the Knights show some grit at home on Old Boys day?

Welcome to Hunter Stadium for this round 25 clash between the Newcastle Knights v South Sydney Rabbitohs.
