Morgan Knowles, an English import, is gearing up for a challenging year ahead in the Dolphins lineup. With the team's forward stocks replenished and highly competitive, Knowles is determined to secure his spot. He played lock for England during the recent Ashes series against Australia, embracing the task of getting selected in Kristian Woolf's team. Knowles acknowledges the fierce competition, stating that he wants to earn the respect of his teammates through hard work and dedication. The standard set by the Dolphins is high, and Knowles is ready to step up. However, the team faces a shuffle in its pack due to injuries to key players. With Kurt Donoghoe set to fill in at nine, Knowles is poised to make his NRL debut in his preferred position. Despite adjusting to the Queensland heat and the NRL's pace, Knowles is confident in his abilities. Having previously played under Woolf at St Helens, Knowles is grateful for the support of his coach, which made the move halfway across the world easier. Before the NRL competition kicks off, Knowles will be watching the World Club Challenge with interest, especially Hull KR's chances against the Brisbane Broncos. He believes that the English boys have a point to prove, and he hopes for another English win.
