Meet the Bruise Crew: Knights duo settle on nickname (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The emergence of the raw-boned back-row duo of Jermaine McEwen and Francis Manuleleua has been critical to Newcastle's run to the NRL grand final. But as commentators look for a nickname that best sums up the Knights' gruesome twosome, the pair are clear that they don't want to be known as a cheap imitation of what's gone before. "We don't want to be called the Bash Brothers, because that's already taken, we've got to figure something out," said McEwen. 'The Bash Brothers' was a moniker given to

Newcastle are daring to dream of a deep finals run after pulling off a heist and dumping South Sydney out of the competition in a surprise 20-10 elimination final win. On a night young back-rower Jermaine McEwen made everyone sit up and take notice with a two-try display at Allianz Stadium, the undermanned Knights advanced to next week's semi-final by upstaging Souths on their home patch.
