Quote: NickyKiss "He should’ve been right up there. I remember Melbourne were all over him when he was coming through at Cas and who knows, that may have been just what he needed. It’s really sad when natural talents like that don’t have the brain to realise just how good they are.
I really noticed a switch flick in him early last season and he now looks like what he should’ve been for over ten years. He was terrific on Thursday and it’s funny when you hear somebody like Wilkin say Knowles is the best player in the league. I don’t really dispute that but Knowles could only dream of a performance like Westerman’s on Thursday and that says it all. He can be ‘that good’ but it’s too late now to change most people’s opinions.
I’ll be honest, I’d have him well in contention for the World Cup.'"
Knowles is not the best player in the league. Not even close. He's not even the best player at Saints.
