Fun fact. Im pretty sure we are the only team in the NRL era to have eliminated the top 2 sides back to back in finals

Heeeeyyyy … does this count as beating the number one team on the ladder?! Have we ended the drought?!?!?!

There must have been 40,000 knights fans there tonight. Every time panthers tried to make any noise, they were drowned out by the Newcastle chant.

Knights fans absolutely carried this. In the last two Panthers prelims at Accor in 23 and 24 against Melbourne and Cronulla they only mustered up 33k and 35k.

Hate to be a nerd, but the Broncos did that in 2006, prelim win over the 2nd placed Bulldogs into a grand final win over the first placed Storm.
