Sportfoxsports.com.au‘Penalty every day of the week’: Huge drama as THREE calls seal NRL finals boilover
Newcastle Knights beat the Warriors 12-10 in a controversial NRL semi-final in Auckland and will now face Penrith in the preliminary final.
The Newcastle Knights knocked out the New Zealand Warriors in a dramatic 12-10 sudden-death semi-final at Eden Park, advancing to the NRL preliminary final.
A clear escort penalty in the final minute that would have tied the game was missed by referee Ashley Klein, with the Warriors unable to challenge the call.
Newcastle will now face minor premiers Penrith, who claimed the wooden spoon just last year, in what shapes as a remarkable underdog story in the finals series.
