MAYBE neither side deserved to win in the end.

4 Tries 3
Zane Tetevano 3'	Justin Hodges 13'
Joseph Leilua 56'	Corey Parker 36'
Beau Scott 72'	Jack Reed 60'
Akuila Uate 78'
1 Conversions 3
Tyrone Roberts 4'	Scott Prince 15'
	Scott Prince 37'
	Scott Prince 62'

A frantic golden point game finished all square as both Newcastle and Brisbane missed chances at the death to seal victory.

Knights five-eighth Jarrod Mullen missed with four field goal attempts while Brisbane's radar was also off in the desperate final minutes with Ben Hunt and Peter Wallace failing with two attempts.

Brisbane looked to have the game in their keeping with less than 10 minutes left with an 18-10 lead and seemingly in control against a spluttering Knights attack.

But after struggling  with the football for much of the game, the Knights sent the game into golden point with two tries in six minutes .

Backrower Beau Scott  crossed with eight minutes to go before Dane Gagai put Aku Uate over in the corner with two minutes left.

With regular kicker Tyrone Roberts off the field, veteran Craig Gower was forced to step up.

He missed his first from a handy position before completely fluming his sideline conversion attempt at 18-all which would have won Newcastle the game. 

The draw leaves the Knights in eighth spot on 23 points but they will drop out of the top eight if the Warriors beat Cronulla.

Brisbane will need to win their five remaining games to be certain of a play-offs spot.
