Story summary

The South Sydney Rabbitohs were leading in their elimination final match against the Newcastle Knights at the Sydney Football Stadium when disaster struck. Two of their key players, Cody Walker and Alex Johnston, went down with injuries, leaving the team weakened. Just as it seemed like the Rabbitohs were in trouble, they had a chance to score a miracle try, but it was ruled out by the referee, dealing them a major blow. The Knights are now on the brink of winning the game and advancing to the next round. With just over five minutes left to play, the Rabbitohs had one final opportunity to score, but Latrell Mitchell's conversion attempt was unsuccessful, leaving the difference at 10 points with the Knights leading 20-10.
