Sunday, 12th of September, 4:05 pm, NRL Finals Week 1, Browne Park, Rockhampton Eels vs Knights NRL Match Fixture
The last but not least game of the NRL finals week 1, the Knights are to take on the Eels in what should be a thriller, the Knights have a chance to progress to NRL Finals week 2 but standing in their way is a very proud and enthuastic Parramatta Eels, some of the hype around this game is with thoughts of some believing the Knights don’t deserve to be in the finals, if the Knights win it could leave a lot of fans in shock, will the Knights rise?
