Surely this brings Fletcher Sharpe's availability into play?

I think it's a great extension for the Knights purely for the fact that there is so little elite talent in the nrl and you'd rather have him than let him 1 leave the code or 2 play elsewhere.
All they need to fo us on now is finding a couple more Jermaine McEwens in there foward pack and they'll be ready to roll.
1. Ponga
6. Sharpe
7. Brown
9. Smith
That's what the Knights want to do with their spine, not sure if that's good enough for a premiership but it will get them playing finals
No chance if the Knights aren't keeping Crossland at Hooker they've got rocks in there head the guy starts for the Kiwis.I'm not taking or converting a halfback into a hooker to beat out an established international.Defensively Crossland is very good also and has a motor to boot.
But if they are I'd kick both Smith and TDS to the curve and go get Crossland he's the type we want in the middle of the park.
