St George Illawarra hit back with two of their own before half-time as the Knights led 16-12 at the change of ends.

The away side took the lead in the second half with two tries either side of a special Fletcher Sharpe four-pointer for the Knights.

Locked at 24-all following a Will Pryce penalty goal, a kick from Tyson Gamble fell into the in-goal and a flying David Armstrong won the race to the ball with a spectacular put-down for his second of the game.

The Knights would hold onto their six-point lead to take the two points and their second win of the season.
