The article, shortened and in plain language

The Knights faithful turned Stadium Australia into a little piece of the Hunter, proving yet again they would follow their team into hell itself if Sid Fogg's would charter a bus there.

Just 10 minutes later came the tackle that ended his season as he suffered a compound fracture to his ankle, also ending Phoenix Crossland's afternoon after he was sent off, and putting this game on the raggedy edge.
