Rugby league will be showcased on the world stage in Brisbane this Saturday and nib Newcastle Knights players will be watching on to see who will take the glory.
Australia was the outright favourite amongst Knights players, although there’s always someone that loves the underdog.
Most couldn’t go past the green and gold, describing them as just too classy.
