The season is over for the Newcastle Knights Jersey Flegg side.
Penrith delivered a crushing 30-26 defeat on Saturday in the dying seconds of their grand final qualifier.

Tom Starling sparked the attack when he went down the short side, finding Matt Cooper who put Justin Worley over unmarked off the back of some quick hands.
Starling got involved again just minutes later when he found Kurtis Dark on the short side who tapped it on to Starford T'oa.
