Knights versatile player Dylan Lucas is on the brink of making a crucial decision about his future with the club.
Sources close to the team suggest that the second-rower and centre is poised to ink a new deal before the looming deadline of November 1.
Lucas, hailing from the rugby league heartland of Bega, made his mark in the 2024 season, cementing his position in the NRL squad with impressive performances.
After debuting in 2023 and showing flashes of potential, it was in the following year where he truly came into his own, featuring in 21 games under the tutelage of coach Adam O'Brien.
Throughout the season, Lucas showcased his attacking prowess by crossing the try line seven times and creating nine line breaks.
His work rate was equally impressive, averaging 132 metres per game and boasting a tackle success rate of nearly 93 per cent.
The young gun's on-field contributions have not gone unnoticed, with talks of a contract extension gaining momentum within the club.
