Knights fans, sit back down. Take a breath. Sunday's edge-of-your-seat thriller is over. Your team is bound for a preliminary final.
But get ready, Newcastle are now just one win away from a grand final, and they'll need your support next Sunday at Accor Stadium against NRL powerhouse Penrith.
The Knights booked their first preliminary final appearance since 2013 - and only their second since the 2001 premiership - with a tense, and sometimes heart-stopping, 12-10 semi-final win over the Warriors in Auckland.
In front of more than 48,000 fans at Eden Park, a record crowd for a rugby league match in New Zealand, an incredibly brave Knights outfit hung on for a famous finals victory.
The do-or-die game just about had it all.
It was all big moments - and even more errors - but the Justin Holbrook-coached Knights are in the final four, headed for a huge showdown with the Panthers next week.
"I feel like crying," Knights skipper Kalyn Ponga said in an on-field interview immediately after the game.
"I just can't wait to get back to Newcastle and get on to next week."
Ponga finished the match on the sidelines after being taken out of the game for a head-injury assessment seven minutes before full-time.
Crucially, it was ruled a category-two concussion and he will be free to play next week.
Centre Dane Gagai may have a nervous wait after being placed on report late in the game.
Both players were enormous, despite making mistakes themselves.
The Knights ended the match with 54 missed tackles and 17 errors, more than Warriors on both counts.
But these Newcastle players never dropped their heads, never gave up. It showed the new-found resilience they've developed this season.
Tough, gritty and never-say-die.
It will be a match remembered for key plays.
The Phoenix Crossland strip when Newcastle were under the pump midway through the second half.
Crossland diving on a loose ball shortly afterwards, somehow getting there from seemingly 10 paces away.
Crossland's catch of a bomb with less than three minutes remaining, putting himself in a similar position to when he suffered a broken nose earlier this season.
If Crossland wasn't man of the match, he must have missed out by a whisker.
Greg Marzhew's tackle on Dallin Watene-Zelezniak in the first half, which was an out-and-out try-saver.
Gagai's Matt Gidley-like flick pass to set up Dom Young's second-half try.
Fletcher Sharpe's pinpoint grubber kicks to earn back-to-back goal-line dropouts.
The captain's challenges - an unusually high number of them proving successful.
Wow, what a game.
"We were fantastic today," Holbrook said.
"The Warriors have had a great year, they were enormous. There was not much in the game.
"But I want to thank our players. We played with 100-odd fans here out of 50,000, and we knew how many fans were watching back home."
The scores were level at six-all at half-time after an entertaining opening 40 minutes.
In a high-tempo affair, both sides had plenty of chances and the scores could have easily been doubled, if not tripled.
Newcastle blew two tries in the opening 10 minutes. A forward pass denied Dom Young in the fourth minute, while a ball also travelled forward from a kick contest before Sharpe appeared to have scored five minutes later.
In temperatures dropping towards single figures and with the wind howling at the Auckland venue, the Knights did extremely well to combat the Warriors' powerful forwards early on.
"Blowing near a hurricane," Holbrook said.
The home side blasted through the centre of the field. Ruled out in the warm-up last week, left centre Leka Halasima proved a handful early and sliced through for the opening try after 12 minutes.
Sharpe finally got the Knights on the board in the 28th minute, finishing off a 60-metre break started by centre Bradman Best.
Newcastle made a strong start to the second half and Gagai's flick-pass put Young away down the right flank in the 44th minute, the winger beating the rushing defenders to score five metres inside the sideline.
Sandon Smith's conversion from out wide ultimately proved the difference.
The Warriors lost winger Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad after the try to a head-injury assessment.
Fullback Taine Tuaupiki left the field for the same reason after Halasima's second try in the 69th minute.
He dived over on the left edge, somehow keeping his body airborne and his hands and the ball inside the field of play despite being taken out over the sideline by Young.
It's believed Gagai was placed on report for an earlier tackle on Tuaupiki.
Smith appeared to have scored with two minutes remaining, only for replays to show Gagai had dropped the ball cold 10 metres out from the try-line.
It mattered little as the Knights hung on in the dying exchanges.
There were a few questionable calls, most going Newcastle's way, but Holbrook didn't want to get caught up in them in his post-game press conference.
In a huge positive for the Knights, back-rower Dylan Lucas made his return - eight weeks after dislocating his left ankle and suffering two leg fractures.
He played the last 14 minutes.
Warriors coach Andrew Webster said his side failed to make the most of their chances, but took issue with a couple of calls.
"We had a good opportunity there to dominate, and we didn't," he said.
"At the end of the day, you make your own luck ... and we had enough opportunities to win."
The Knights now meet Penrith at 4pm next Sunday, in a match that could well attract a near-capacity crowd at the 80,000-seat Olympic Park venue Accor Stadium.
Meanwhile, Newcastle's reserve-grade side are out of the premiership race, knocked out of the NSW Cup following a 30-14 loss to Newtown Jets at Kogarah on Saturday.
The women's reserve-grade team, who enjoyed a weekend off after qualifying for the grand final a week ago, will face Mounties in the NSW Women's Premiership decider at CommBank Stadium on Saturday.
