There’s been hardly any stoppages in the last 15 minutes. We are witnessing some incredible rugby league.
Dylan Brown is coming back on the paddock for the Eels to give them a boost. He’s carrying a foot complaint so spent some time on the sidelines.
We are 22-20 to the Eels with 10 minutes to go.

Newcastle are now well and truly back in this with Tuala getting his third try of the day.
Sadly, the Knights weren’t able to get level with the Eels with Jake Clifford’s kick getting caught in the wind.
The Eels are ahead 22-20 after 60 minutes.
Well - the Knights are not out of this game just yet!
Enari Tuala has gotten his second for the day thanks to chasing a brilliant grubber from Jake Clifford.
Clifford also got the extras in some tough conditions to put the Knights within a converted try.

We are now 22-16 after 53 minutes.
The Eels have scored the first try of the second half with Blake Ferguson getting over the line off the back of a penalty.
Ferguson capitalised on a brilliant floating pass from Moses, who also converted the try.
The Eels now have a 12 point lead and it’s not looking good for the Knights.
Parramatta lead 22-10 after 50 minutes.
As we wait for the boys to come back on the paddock, take a read of Roy Master’s take on why the Storm and Rabbitohs have managed to prove so dominant this week.
His take? Rest is best.
“Melbourne and South Sydney, risking further loss of cohesion through resting their top combinations in round 25, displayed far more fluidity against Manly and Penrith respectively, opponents who were intent on maintaining momentum,†he writes.
“In other words, the “resting teamsâ€, the Storm and Rabbitohs, showed more evidence of telepathic teamwork than the teams seeking to further fine-tune full-strength combinations.â€
Take a read below.
It’s back-to-back tries for the Eels with Blake Ferguson backing up the try from Mitchell Moses within just two minutes of one another.
Moses is unable to convert with that wind still wreaking havoc.
The Eels now lead 16-10 after 39 minutes to give Parramatta a strong lead going into the second half.
Mitchell Moses has scored a try on his lonesome, finding space and successfully dodging Ponga to make his way across the white line.
He has managed to also convert his own try to bring the Eels a 12-10 lead after 36 minutes.

Oops.
Nine went to cross to Reed Mahoney, who is out for the season with a shoulder injury, for his take on the game just now.
He clearly didn’t realise he was live yet, voicing an expletive before Nine cut away.
Warning: Bad language!
