Parramatta's errors and miscues kept the Newcastle Knights in the contest for longer than we all thought but in the end the Blue & Gold prevailed 28-20 to book a date with the Penrith Panthers in Week 2 of the finals.

Sixties and Forty20, fresh off the win, convene to discuss the pulsating contest in which the Newcastle Knights produced one of their best efforts of 2021 to challenge to the Eels. Thankfully though, a Mitchell Moses masterclass carried the day with the star halfback having a hand in everything be it by run, pass or kick. The boys look at some of the key touches from Parramatta's halfback and why the intent he signalled early meant everything towards the end result.

Isaiah Papali'i and Ray Stone were central to the win with both men adapting to new roles and responsibilities this week while Reagan Campbell-Gillard made several thunderous statements in defence in his return from injury. Their efforts and exploits and discussed by Sixties and Forty20 before the puzzling logic of the bunker is brought into the spotlight.
