Jermaine McEwen impresses as Knights aim for finals

Jermaine McEwen has emerged as a key player for the Newcastle Knights in their 2026 finals campaign. During their recent match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, McEwen scored two tries, showcasing his skills with a remarkable average of 105 running metres and 91% tackle efficiency. The Knights, who finished last season with the wooden spoon, are now poised for a possible grand final appearance, significantly aided by McEwen’s contributions. As they prepare for a pivotal clash against the New Zealand Warriors, McEwen's performance could be crucial in their attempt to continue their surprising turnaround this season.
