Newcastle Knights held on to beat the Canterbury Bulldogs 22‑10 for their third‑straight NRL victory.
TVNZ reports Knights halfback Mitchell Pearce was everywhere in the first half to set up a 16‑0 halftime lead, grubbering twice to himself on the same play before winning the race to the ball for the side's second try.
The result rooted the Bulldogs (2‑7) to the bottom of the ladder while the Knights (4‑5) are one win outside the top eight.
