    Jaelen Feeney could start the season as Newcastle fullback

    Feeney seems like he isn't the best in any position at this point, and I don't love the idea of him 'learning his trade' in first grade. I personally feel he has as much long-term potential at fullback as Todd Carney, and that he'd only really be treading water until a more natural spot opens...

    Jaelen Feeney could start the season as Newcastle fullback

    His first grade career is almost a carbon copy of Matt Minto so far...

    The worst thing about golden point

    If extra time is absolutely needed, just forget the golden point rule. Make it 10 minutes of high intensity point grubbing with right of reply. So if you score a field goal, then you've got to defend it. If there's a controversial penalty 20m in front, take it but then defend it - at least refs...

    WiL R10 // Sea Eagles 15-14 Knights @ Brookvale // Mon 7pm

    Gidley was alright.

    Can the 355 first grade games be broken by a current player?

    He shouldn't pass it at age 33, but the esteemed John Morris is only 11 away from cracking 300. Wow.

    Knights Vs Roosters - Prelim Final '13

    Fairly beaten, depressing scoreline and circumstances but not exactly disgraced. At least we knocked off Melbourne and don't have to endure Cam Smith's smugarse balls-in-mouth grin.

    KOTW Round 19 Vs Panthers 2013

    1 - Snowden 1 - Mullen 1 - Leilua 1 - Boyd 1 - Scott 1 - Gower Buderus, Rochow and Gagai unlucky, but that's what happens after a win...

    R19 | Panthers 14-32 Knights @ Centrebet | Sun 2.00pm

    As sharp as Gower's looking at rake, he can throw some wild passes. I gather he didn't come here with the intent to play hooker, but he's nowhere near Buderus with his service. IMO a fast inaccurate pass can be as dangerous as a delayed one to the chest.

    BJ Leilua

    Wasn't really a game for the outside backs, given the lack of inspiration in the middle. Did see him throw a timely pass to Uate, and I suppose for some that's enough. Looked ok.

    R4 | Knights 28-12 Raiders @ Hunter | Sun 6.30pm

    Well he might be named at halfback, but we don't know if he'll play a halfback role. Number doesn't mean much. We even named Housten on the wing once just to get an extra forward in the starting side; bizarre as that was, it just goes to show that team lists can tell you very little. I don't...

    Nathan Tinkler relinquishes ownership of the Newcastle Knights

    Probably not the greatest idea - see my avatar, a statue of that would terrify the kids.

    Newcastle Knights utility Peter Mata'utia cheats death

    Ikin: Bennett’s axe is permanent

    I really feel for Hilder, he was one player who we always considered quite an asset. Thought that he'd be a standout Bennett-style player but I feel the way he's been used this year has killed his chances to prove his worth. If he's been hooked for duffing a couple of key plays then he...

    Round 5 | Storm 34-22 Knights @ AAMI Park | Fri March 30 @ 7.30pm

    There was an incident last night where Melbourne put up a bomb, Slater came flying through and Boyd turned around and let it bounce off his back, from memory. After Nine went to the replay Melbourne had the ball 20m out. What happened? Was it a knock on from Boyd or did we lose the ball...

    Round 5 | Storm 34-22 Knights @ AAMI Park | Fri March 30 @ 7.30pm

    Both teams played well enough to make this a good contest, so it's a real shame this match felt misaligned and short of its potential. Very, very difficult to get anywhere in a game when you are punished so thoroughly for errors. I would like to think that we'd have shaken them too, given a...

    Are the Knights doing something for Benny Hornby's 250th game?

    God I hope not, I've been saving myself for him :crazy: :o

    do the Warriors deserve their finals position?

    Perhaps (again) we should put more emphasis on the importance of the minor premiership. Finals matches are volatile, they are not an indication of a team's quality over the course of a season. The Warriors played some brilliant football this year and deserved their final standing at the top end...

    Round 26 | Knights 40-24 Rabbitohs @ Ausgrid | Fri 2nd September | Kick-off: 7.35pm

    Big moment in that game when Edwards (?) smacked the ball carrier returning the kickoff from one of their tries, resulting in a knock on close to their line. Souths had a big roll on at the time so it was a huge play. The guy is an asset to this team. Big hits are one thing but he certainly...
