South Sydney have landed two more players for Wayne Bennett’s new era as Liam Knight and Cory Denniss join the Rabbitohs for the next two seasons.

Knight, a damaging prop, spent 2018 with the Raiders while Denniss joins from Newcastle.

“Liam is an old-school front rower,” said Rabbitohs General Manager Shane Richardson.

“He is not one to take a backward step and will push strongly for a spot in our forward pack for the start of the season.

“Cory is a big-bodied back who has a similar build to Campbell Graham, another young gun in our backline.

“He has had a taste of first grade and knows what it will take to crack into our best seventeen.”

Denniss has played 18 NRL matches, all for Newcastle, while Knight has played 10 following stints with the Sea Eagles and Raiders.

“I’m really happy to be on board with the Rabbitohs and I’m ready to hit the ground running,” Knight said.

“I’m looking forward to ripping into training with the boys and working hard in the lead up to the season.

“I’d like to thank the Raiders for the opportunity they gave me to play for their club, and now I can’t wait to be part of South Sydney and working hard to get another opportunity to play first grade.”
