Four tries from Akuila Uate helped Newcastle in their 40-24 win over South Sydney last night.

This win also helps Newcastle claim eighth place on the NRL ladder.

Uate bagged two tries as the Knights piled on a 30-6 halftime lead and doubled his tally with trademark devastating runs to the line to help his side into the playoffs that begins next weekend.

In the process Uate also equaled the club record for tries in a single match.
