Dylan Brown<\/a> has finally arrived at the Newcastle Knights<\/a>, and with a monster decade-long deal awaiting him, a lot of fans are eager to see what he can produce in 2026.<\/p>\n

His most recent display of rugby league was in the Pacific Championships for New Zealand<\/a>, where Brown showcased his class and ability as a premier five-eighth.<\/p>\n

Brown admitted that his recent performance with the Kiwis has boosted his confidence, and believes he can take his red hot form into his inaugural Knights season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI obviously want to be able to play good footy no matter what,\u201d Brown said to the Sydney Morning Herald.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be able to play like that for the Kiwis was just good for my mental space.\u201d<\/p>\n

While predominately playing in the No.6 jumper for majority of his career, his $13 million salary implied that he could be taking up the halfback role instead.<\/p>\n

Brown, however, has denied any positions being locked down as of yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s been no chat around [what position I’ll play for the Knights] yet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Knights coach Justin Holbrook<\/a>] is not sure yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown came in and out of the Parramatta Eels<\/a> starting lineup this year, which was sure to shake his spirits.<\/p>\n

Despite that, he said that his dominant display for the Kiwis was a sweet reminder of what he can do.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s exciting that I can play that brand of footy,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dylan Brown has finally arrived at the Newcastle Knights, and with a monster decade-long deal awaiting him, a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-349429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
