An exhilarating eight-game winning streak that has rocketed the Knights into the finals for the third time in four years has coach Adam O'Brien on the cusp of landing a contract extension that could result in him becoming the club's longest-serving coach.
And the man whose record he could overtake, former premiership-winning coach Michael Hagan, says O'Brien fully deserves to be rewarded given his side's remarkable run during the back half of the season.
O'Brien has already been guaranteed he will see out his current deal with a fifth year in charge in 2024. But an extension on top of that, which now appears a formality, could see him at the helm for six or even seven years, at least.
