MATCH REPORT - Wests Tigers 46 Knights 4:

Marshall magic sees Tigers end Newcastle's season

Wests Tigers v Newcastle Knights

A masterful 70-minute display from Benji Marshall has powered the Wests Tigers right back into finals contention with a 46-4 win over the Newcastle Knights on Saturday night.

Marshall had the ball on a string, setting up four tries and remains unsigned for next season but that may soon change.

The Tigers have the Dragons and Sharks to come in the next two weeks and sit just one point shy of the eighth-placed Broncos, who have tough games with the Eels and Bulldogs to come.

After a dramatic week where coach Nathan Brown parted ways with the club, the Knights' defeat comes just a week after they seemingly reignited their seesawing season with a 42-6 win over the Cowboys.

The Tigers, meanwhile, had been thumped 32-12 by the Sea Eagles. With the lowly Titans and faltering Panthers to come, Newcastle were considered a serious chance of sneaking into the top eight.

Instead, seven errors and 23 missed tackles in the first half proved their downfall as they were out-enthused by a Tigers side playing to keep both their and Robbie Farah's season alive.
