Newcastle Knights' star player, Fletcher Sharpe, suffered a potential ACL injury during the match in Las Vegas. However, initial fears have been alleviated, as it appears to be a less severe PCL injury. Sharpe's injury occurred when he was tackled, and he had to be substituted from the field. Despite the initial concerns, the club's physios believe it's not too serious, and Sharpe himself remains optimistic. He expressed frustration but also praised the team's performance, highlighting his own contribution to their success. The NRL Physio supports this assessment, suggesting a PCL sprain with a recovery time of 2-6 weeks. This is a positive outlook, especially considering the potential severity of an ACL injury. Head coach Justin Holbrook praised Sharpe's performance, describing him as 'electrifying' and a key factor in the team's success. The Knights will now travel back to Australia for a week of rest before facing the Manly Sea Eagles on March 15th.
