The Sharks<\/a> conquered their simple mission on the last day of the regular season, defeating the Knights to secure a home qualifying final.<\/p>\n

The Sharks beat the Knights 38-16 in Newcastle to dislodge the Cowboys from second on the ladder, ensuring they'll face North Queensland at PointsBet Stadium in the opening week of the finals.<\/p>\n
