Biography
Talented halfback, originally from Condoblin, joined Balmain (with country team-mate Larry Corowa) after stints with Woden Valley and Queanbeyan Kangaroos in the Group 8 competition. Knight represented NSW Country - and the Monaro team that defeated Great Britain in 1977 – but his Sydney career was plagued by injuries and fitness issues. A tough, clever competitor Knight returned to Canberra to play with the Raiders in the formative years of the club.

Percy Knight was a legend of the game of rugby league....

Amazingly skilful and enigmatic player. Had that magic to conjure a try from nothing. Like an Ella looked slow but was amazingly fast when it was required a zip and a step and a style that is sadly missed in the defence oriented NRL. Great player and exciting to watch.
