This RLW story had Kneen defending himself against the perception he was a dirty player - "one of the most bloodthirsty 'hit men' in Sydney"!

Kneen pointed out he had only been sent off once - after a big scrum brawl against Parramatta at Cumberland Oval in 1977.

"I tackle hard and get tackled hard in return," said Kneen. "I don't go around trying to knock blokes' heads off."

The story also covered his emergence as an impressive attacking second-rower under coach Norm Provan.
