A cunning ploy, 'bordering on illegal', devised by a former referee paved the way for Mitchell Pearce's match-winning field goal for Newcastle. Three Knights players stood close to the dummyhalf as the ball was played in the final minute with the scores locked at 14-all. The trio made it harder for defenders running towards Pearce to charge down the kick and he had time to pot the decisive field goal. The ploy was devised by former NRL referee Adam Devcich, who has been working with the Knights for the past two seasons. The last-gasp win ensures that the Knights will play finals football this season while the Titans are now in a dogfight for eighth spot with several other teams.
