Daniel Saifiti 11. “I think he has been outstanding, he has got the ability to skip on the outside of players,” Fox league’s Steve Roach said. “The first of his career as well, proving what a dangerous player he can be on the right edge for the Sharks,” Voss said. The Sharks can wrap up second spot on the ladder with a win, ehile the Knights are playing for pride looking to end a tough season on a high in front of their long-suffering fans. “He was a star at that tournament and I think he will be good value for the Warriors, I don’t even know what position he will slot into, but I think he is in your 17 every week. “If you aren’t prepared to put your body on the line that is exactly what is going to happen, he has had a day out here this afternoon,” Roach said. “Metcalf scoops it up, and away he goes the young man, he does it in a canter,” Roach said. “He has been there best player so far, he has looked dangerous, he does it on his own from the scrumbase,” Fox League’s Steve Roach said.

"We wanted to sign off on a good (regular) season with a win and earn the right to play at home (in the finals). we had a couple of moments that showed a lack of experience, so we got beaten in a couple of moments of experience, but I don't think it was through any lack of effort."

“We’ll work hard over the summer and we’ll come back here and we’ll be bigger and better for it next year.” “It was pleasing that while we lost our way a little bit (in the first half) we had the ability and the footy in us to go, ‘No, we know what we’re doing here, let’s get back to it’,” Fitzgibbon said.

But just as they did against Canberra in their last home game, the initially competitive Knights fell away as the game went on and were unable to withstand repeated pressure close to the line.

A hat-trick to Briton Nikora has helped Cronulla to a 38-16 defeat of Newcastle that confirmed a first NRL top-two finish for the Sharks since 1999.
Newcastle have lost 10 of their 12 games at McDonald Jones Stadium, more than in their 2005, 2015 and 2017 wooden spoon seasons, and on seven occasions suffered defeat at home by 20 points or more. For all their effort, the Knights now finish the season having lost as many games at home as ever before. But just as they did against Canberra in their last home game, the initially-competitive Knights fell away the further the game went on and were unable to withstand repeated pressure close to the line.
