2006 Round 16 vs Cronulla Sutherland Sharks:

Anthony Quinn is collared by Lance Thompson. James Stosic is all wrapped up. Nigel Vagana fends clear of Brian Carney. Lance Thompson is smashed, but gets an amazing pass away. Luke Douglas gets demolished by Knights defenders. Luke Davico hits it up in a forward-dominated first half. Matthew Gidley looks for an opening. Nathan Hinton runs it back from fullback. This time Lance Thompson can't offload in the tackle of Steve Simpson. Kurt Gidley is assisted off with a knee injury that will keep him out 6 weeks. Brian Carney can't find a gap in top Cronulla defence. Matthew Gidley gets grassed by Paul Gallen. Luke Davico is taken down. Andrew Johns feels the ill-effects of a boot to the face. Andrew Johns still recovering. Reegan Tanner celebrates the first of Anthony Quinn's two tries. Brian Carney finds some space. Brian Carney and Greg Bird come to blows. Paul Gallen is taken down by Smith and Buderus. Clint Newton makes a charge. Big boy Josh Perry takes it forward. George Carmont tries super-hard to make a burst. Brian Carney attempts to wrestle free of a defender. Danny Buderus shoots out of dummy-half and looks to pass. Steve Simpson puts the defenders in two minds with a pass and a step. Josh Perry has Reece Williams shaking in his boots. Beau Scott dives over for the match-winner ... ... and Cronulla rejoice. Nigel Vagana scores to rub further salt into Newcastle's very sore wound. Newcastle contemplate their fourth consecutive loss.
