KNIGHTS coach Adam O'Brien has urged his players to engage the capacity crowd early and tap into their passion in Sunday's blockbuster showdown with South Sydney at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Newcastle officials declared the game a sell-out earlier this week, and in the vicinity of 29,000 spectators are expected to surge through the turnstiles for a double-header that kicks off at 12pm with the Knights' defending NRLW champions taking on former three-time premiers Brisbane Broncos.
