Newcastle 18-20 Parramatta

A last-gasp effort from the Knights is not enough to pull back this game. Parra hold on for a much-needed win and their finals hopes are alive

Nathan Ross has been denied what looked to be a miracle try that would have pulled the game back for the Knights. An Eels defender has got his legs under the ball on the line and the ball has been spilled New 18-20 Parra. 1' remaining

Sione Mata'utia has pulled off a bell ringer on Michael Gordon and the Knights have a chance with a scrum near the halfway after the ball was lost. '21/2' to go

And the Knights have lost the ball! Very sloppy play the ball and that would appear to be Newcastle's last chance. 3' remaining

A shocking pass from Isaac de Gois to Eels five-eighth Corey Norman has left the door open ajar after an earlier Knights error. 4' to go

Newcastle 18-20 Parramatta

Newcastle can't quite breach the line on the last tackle. Three Parra defenders wrenched the Newcastle attacker back out of the goal area. Incredible defence. 7' remaining

Knights capitalise on an Eels mistake, gaining the ball 30m out. Can they get back in the lead? 

 

And now for something completely different ...
