After missing the top eight for the first time in 2022, Adam O’Brien has been busy on the recruitment front with some key signings and several departures ensuring there will be a new-look side that runs out in March.
The Knights have a fairly balanced squad but may look for one or two more forwards before the season kicks off in March.
Toni Tupouniua, the younger brother of Roosters forward Sitili Tupouniua, is a young back-rower who is edging closer to earning a top 30 contract.The Knights had a host of players fail to finish the 2022 season but all are expected to be available for the season opener against the Warriors at this stage.
Lachlan Fitzgibbon underwent similiar shoulder surgery in 2022 but is back training with the squad while Jackson Hastings is back to full fitness after fracturing his leg.The final make-up of the halves could be determined in the trials with Kalyn Ponga’s possible move to five-eighth still an option for Adam O’Brien.
The backline will also have to be decided with Enari Tuala and Hymel Hunt both regular first graders who will be pushing all centres and wingers ahead of them next season.Biggest strength
