Despite being hampered by injuries and missing key players including star recruit Dylan Brown, the Knights refused to concede. They mounted a significant challenge, twice coming close to snatching victory.

Daly Cherry-Evans' composure proved crucial for the Roosters. With his team leading 14-12 and 10 minutes remaining, he successfully kicked a field goal to extend their lead to seven points, intensifying the pressure on Newcastle.
