Knights coach Adam O'Brien exploded like a volcano after a sin bin controversy left him seeing red in a heart-pounding golden point clash against the Sharks.
The gallant Knights, riding high with an 18-10 lead after halftime, were thrown off course by a clutch penalty goal and try from Ronaldo Mulitalo, bringing the Sharks level.
Both teams attempted game-winning field goals, only to be thwarted by referee Gerard Sutton for illegal blocking tactics.
In a nail-biting extra-time showdown, a crucial field goal from Daniel Atkinson sealed the deal for the Sharks, cementing their place in the top four of the NRL ladder.
But O'Brien was left seething after his halfback Phoenix Crossland was sin binned in a dramatic fashion right before the halftime whistle, accused of a blatant flop and holding down the play in the dying moments of the first half.
The fiery coach let loose on Sutton, venting his frustration at the crucial sin bin decision that ultimately tipped the scales in favor of the Sharks.
Despite the setback, the Knights fought valiantly till the final whistle, displaying true grit and determination on the field.
As the dust settles on this controversial clash, O'Brien and his troops are gearing up for the next battle, ready to bounce back stronger than ever.
