The Newcastle Knights can breathe a sigh of relief ahead of their Round 1 matchup against the North Queensland Cowboys. The Daily Telegraph reports that marquee signing Dylan Brown has been cleared to make his club debut in Las Vegas after his US visa application was successfully approved. While his off-field situation had raised concerns over his availability, the visa outcome ensures the Knights' biggest off-season recruit will be available for Round 1. Knights coach Justin Holbrook confirmed Brown is a lock to start in the halves for the Vegas fixture. “Dylan Brown will definitely be in the halves,” Holbrook told the Daily Telegraph.
