KURT GIDLEY HITS BACK AT KNIGHTS CRITICISM

Knights skipper Kurt Gidley says criticism of Newcastle’s tactics against North Queensland won’t affect how they play.
“Johnathan Thurston has played at the highest level, been targeted in Origin, any team goes out there putting pressure on the other team’s most important players. We’ll continue to do that.”
The self-confessed extreme sports fan today joined his teammates for a look at the Nitro Circus performers, who’ll take centre stage at Hunter Stadium on Saturday.
The same day, the Knights will look to overcome a Titans side boosted by Origin stars, Greg Bird and Dave Taylor, who had been stood down following drug charges.
“It’s been a tough month for them. They’ll be looking to have big games themselves.”
