HAROLD MATTHEWS

The Knights were stunned with the intensity from the fourth placed Bulldogs on the weekend but the red and blue managed to dig deep for a win in week one of finals.

Oryn Keeley was a standout in the no. 12 jersey; he ran with intent and was reliable in the middle.

Taj Blackman came into the halfback position with Jonah Pezet ruled out. It's hoped with the week off, Pezet will be back in a couple of weeks.
