    NRL fans are once again calling for the clock to be stopped after a try with Sandon Smith taking his time in the final minutes of the Knights' win over the Raiders. The Newcastle Knights won a brutal 30-24 contest against the Raiders to cement their place in the Top 8 with four rounds to go.

    The defeat also ended the Raiders' hopes of playing finals footy with last year's minor premiers now entrenched outside the Top 8. However, plenty of Raiders fans were left frustrated when Smith took his time to attempt a conversion with just a minute remaining.

    NRL fans are once again calling for a shot clock to be introduced after a try after Sandon Smith took his time to take the conversion in the win over the Raiders.

    Winger Dominic Young scored in the corner to extend the Knights' lead by six points. Smith lined-up the conversion, but went back-and-forth to the kicking tee as he took his time.

    Corey Parker criticized Ricky Stuart for gaslighting Corey Horsburgh over his late-game tackle against Dane Gagai in a crucial match.

    Wide World of Sports

    NRL great Corey Parker has taken aim at Ricky Stuart, claiming the Raiders coach gaslit Corey Horsburgh for his late-game "brain explosion" against the Knights.

    With less than 10 minutes remaining in Canberra's season-ending 30-24 loss to Newcastle, the fiery front-rower made a tackle on Dane Gagai.

    The veteran Knights centre then got up in frustration after Horsburgh collected him high and grabbed his opponent's jersey, prompting on-field referee Ashley Klein to initially blow a penalty in the Raiders' favour.

    Kalyn Ponga was seen arguing with Klein to understand why his team had been punished, claiming that Gagai was struck high in the tackle by Horsburgh.

    The Canberra Times

    Cronulla's hopes of clinging onto their prized top-four spot have been dealt a blow with enforcer Addin Fonua-Blake copping a suspension.

    Fonua-Blake was on Monday handed a one-game ban if he gives an early guilty plea for a careless high tackle on St George Illawarra forward Hamish Stewart during the Sharks' upset 24-16 loss on Sunday. 

    If he decides to appeal the decision and is found guilty at a hearing, the 30-year-old will miss two games.
