Across 15 appearances as a replacement, Knight has shown a consistent ability to carry hard and get through substantial defensive work in limited minutes, averaging close to five carries and tackles per game. His best outings — touching nine carries, 57 metres and 14 tackles in a single match — suggest he can shift the momentum of a contest when introduced. The try-scoring return adds a further attacking dimension to what is primarily a high-work-rate, physical profile.
