Galvin drops an offload on his own 30 and the Knights have a chance at extending their lead before the break.

And they do! Sharpe takes them on, throws a dummy and he has Lucas in support to score.

It caps off a great half for the Knights. Smith converts and it’s 16-0 at the break.

Graham bursts through for the Knights and he’s dragged down but there’s a set restart and just a few tackles later Graham goes short to Frizell and he’s over!

Lovely stuff from the dummy half and after Smith converts it’s 10-0 Knights.

24’ Dogs hold the line

The Knights build some nice pressure, forcing back to back drop outs. Lucas is back on and Newcastle weathered his absence well.

But the Dogs hold the line and when Saulo throws a bad pass Galvin picks up the scraps. Nice stand from Canterbury.

13’ Best saves a try

Montoya gets some space and goes head down for the corner but Best and Hunt manage to get under the ball. Great save.

Tracey catches a kick in-goal and races back to the 20 but Lucas hasn’t seen the referee call it and tackles him.

That’s an automatic bin for the Knights backrower.

45m agoSat 28 Mar 2026 at 4:10am7’ Young goes a long way to score!

Well then! The Knights have a spread to their right around halfway, it goes through the hands to Young and he just turns it on! Tracey tries to back off, Young just breezes past him to score in the corner.

That was awesome. Smith from wide out…no good. Knights 4-0

6’ King nearly goes over

Hunt drops a Burton bomb and on the next play Galvin cuts back inside and might have put King over!

But on examination the Knights have just managed to knock it free. A lucky escape!

Tracey makes a break on a kick return and the Dogs are on the attack. Galvin forces a drop out with a nice grubber.

But the Knights go short and Best claims it.

About last night

Just in case you missed the two matches last night – I watched them both but wish I didn’t, tried to get a bit cute and tipped the Dolphins for the upset.

Manly confirm Kieran Foran as interim coach

 In case you missed it, Manly have named former premiership winner Kieran Foran as their coach for the rest of the season after sacking Anthony Seibold.

Seibold was axed last night as he paid the price for the Sea Eagles winless start to the season.

It’s a tall order for Foran – he only retired last season and just recently joined Manly as an assistant.

Final teams: Bulldogs vs Knights

Couple of changes for both teams – the Bulldogs have benched Sitili Tupouniua with Lipoi Hopoi to start with Johnathan Sua and Fletcher Baker rounding out the bench.

The Knights have benched Tyson Frizell for Pasami Saulo but the big inclusion for them is Fletcher Sharpe at five-eighth. He’s back from a knee injury for his first match since the season opener in Las Vegas.
