Newcastle Knights NRL season progression

Overview

The Newcastle Knights have improved their position in the NRL standings following a series of key victories.

On August 9, the Knights defeated the Canberra Raiders 30-24 at GIO Stadium. The match was decided in the 73rd minute after Raiders forward Corey Horsburgh was sent to the sin bin for slapping Dane Gagai, an incident Raiders coach Ricky Stuart described as a “f***ing brain explosion”. The win moved Newcastle closer to a post-season berth.

Following this, the Knights secured a 36-26 victory over the Gold Coast Titans at McDonald Jones Stadium. Despite losing Dane Gagai to a hamstring injury during the match, the team was bolstered by two tries each from Greg Marzhew and Fletcher Sharpe. This win officially secured a play-off spot for the Knights and kept their hopes for a top-four finish alive.
