Nasty seeing Corey Hararaera-Naera spazzing out on the ground. It must be tough to get straight back into the tight contest after a long break like that.

 

[Futtocks]

Hopoate's hat-trick answers Cook's try for Souths.

Canberra still have a precarious lead with 5 to go.

26:30

[Futtocks]

Report: CHN is sitting up and able to speak with Raiders staff. He'll have to go to hospital, obviously, but things look much better than 10 minutes ago.

[Futtocks]

Croker's penalty makes it a 6 point lead with a minute to go.

[Futtocks]

Fogarty lands a DG at the hooter, and the final score is Souths 26:33 Raiders.

Sunday game:

Knights v Sea Eagles

7:05am kick off UK time.

[Anita Bath]

CHN discharged home early this morning and posted a video thanking both clubs medical staff for their swift action.  Obviously there will be medical follow ups for him but it looks at this stage like a positive outcome.

Croak v Croak and Johns v Johns at Newcastle today.

 

[Farmduck]

Predictable! I step away to "take care of business" and Manly score.

6 - 0

[Farmduck]

Then a short dropout fail and Manly get a penalty in front of the posts.

8 - 0 after 19 minutes

[Farmduck]

30min: Marzhew in the corner

[Farmduck]

Hastings hit the post from out wide

Knights 4 - 8

[Farmduck]

2 mins later Best Man Brad finishes off a 40m Knights move

Hastings kicks this one from a similar position

Knights 10 - 8

[Farmduck]

37: Croak try for Manly

Garrick converts from in front

Manly 14 - 10

[Farmduck]

HT:  Manly  14  Newcastle  10

[Farmduck]

So The Pong got through an entire half without a HIA although he did get a couple of whacks in the head.

Either team could win this, they've both looked good in parts and 1 Manly try was from an intercept.

[Farmduck]

Marzhew gets another try but was there a knock on by Pong in the leadup? I don't think it did. A quick view suggests it must have come off Pong and hit Saab but the slow-mo doesn't show it. It seems inconceivable that Saab missed the ball but he did.

Hastings hits the post again

14 - 14

[Farmduck]

Marzhew scores again on the restart set.

Hastings close but misses again

Newcastle 18 - 14

[Farmduck]

Try saver by Saab who holds Best up in goal

[Farmduck]

62min: Saab intercept, runs 80m to score

[Farmduck]

Garrick missed the goal!!

18 - 18

[Farmduck]

Koula gets 10 in bin for hitting Pong with a shoulder to the head in a tackle. I think Pong was falling.

[Farmduck]

66min: Phoenix Crossbow try - very messy. Next time that will be a Knights knock on. Strip or knock on? I reckon it was both.

Hastings goal

Knights 24 - 18

[Farmduck]

... and now Kayo dies

[Farmduck]

76min: 90m try by Dom Young seals it

Knights 28 -18
