The Newcastle Knights are set to kick off their 2026 season on February 28 against the Cowboys in Las Vegas.
Knights superstar Kalyn Ponga is particularly excited about the occasion, as it will be his first opportunity to play alongside Dylan Brown, who is joining Newcastle on a significant 10-year deal.
Ponga expressed his anticipation, highlighting Brown's talent as a Kiwis playmaker.
Additionally, Ponga believes that rookie five-eighth Fletcher Sharpe, a standout performer for the Knights this season, will also thrive in the unique setting of America.
