The Knights have won three in a row for the first time in season 2020 but any hat-trick celebrations were put on ice because of fears five-eighth Blake Green has finished his year with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Knights coach Adam O'Brien said after the game that it was not confirmed but it was looking like Green had torn his ACL, part of the "carnage" that had caused havoc with his squad this season, following on from serious injuries to Connor Watson, Andrew McCullough and Jayden Brailey.

The Hunter men finished off the Cowboys 12-0 in the dying minutes the same way they did the Sea Eagles a week ago – a superb cut-out ball by Kalyn Ponga to teammate Enari Tuala.
But thoughts were with Green. The injury could be the end of the NRL road for the veteran half, who celebrates his 34th birthday in September.
"I can’t confirm it obviously – I’m not a doctor but it’s not looking good,” O’Brien said.
