Kurt Mann is shaping as the Knights' next Kurt Gidley – a man of many positions. Newcastle coach Nathan Brown was describing why he was so keen to sign the former Dragons backline utility for 2019, and although he didn't mention Gidley by name, the similarities were evident. "Blokes who can play five-eighth
and fullback can catch and pass. Most of those can play dummy-half to a certain extent," Brown said, as he explains his reasons for wanting to turn Mann into a No.9. Gidley, who left the Knights in 2015 for Super League's Warrington Wolves, jumps to mind on that count.
