NRL: The NRL 360 panel chat through the Knights roster and what they need to do to content for a premiership.
Another week of finals and another week of damaging and match-defining clashes at fullback, in the halves and in the forwards.
They may not be at the peak of their powers as Tedesco was in 2019 after two straight premierships and Trbojevic when he won the Dally M Medal in 2021, but there is still plenty left in the tank for the two veterans. He also needs to hold their side together defensively from the back with new players in key positions.
If these two sides are to make it to the preliminary final, their fullbacks will have their fingerprints all over it.It’d be hard to find two bigger workhorses in the competition than these blokes – and you can guarantee they’ll both be near the top of the tackle count after Friday’s game. In fact, when Craig Fitzgibbon worked with McInnes in NSW Origin camp in 2020 he told the star lock that wherever he ends up as a head coach one day he’ll be ‘coming’ for him. As fate would have it, McInnes signed with the Sharks in February, 2021 while John Morris was at the helm… but not long after Fitzgibbon was appointed coach.
He went toe-to-toe with Viliame Kikau last week and both players landed some lusty blows, but the battle was a fairly even one. Crichton is also under no illusions how big a test he faces in attempting to stop Olakau’atu from making a dent in his defensive line. But for Crichton, he has the ability to put his outside backs in space and his defence is almost seamless, setting up a truly tasty match-up in the second week of finals.Trent Robinson has resisted the urge to axe halfback Sandon Smith after he missed 11 tackles in a shocker against the Panthers.
