    Newcastle Knights Members Club board to ask Nathan Tinkler to walk away

    Thats the whole point of what seems to be a negotiated seperation, I am assuming HSG will ask for a portion of the guarantee for relinquishing control of the club.

    Newcastle Knights Members Club board to ask Nathan Tinkler to walk away

    The whole thing is a perfumed suicide note for HSG. They are on the way out and are trying to make the best of a sh*t sandwich and I assume winkling some of the guarantee for themselves.

    Newcastle Knights Members Club board to ask Nathan Tinkler to walk away

    Here is the full announcement. Following a meeting earlier on Wednesday between the Hunter Sports Group (HSG) and the Newcastle Knights Members Club, HSG has allowed the current bank guarantee ($10.52 million) to be transferred into a joint-signatory bank account. HSG has been in fruitful...

    Newcastle Knights Members Club board to ask Nathan Tinkler to walk away

    Unusual turn of events, my reading is that HSG want to walk away, likely with some of the bank guarantee for relinquishing the control of the Knights. Otherwise why would they allow the correct level of bank guarantee to be moved into a joint account and talk about changes to ownership. I...

    Newcastle Knights Members Club board to ask Nathan Tinkler to walk away

    Good, my concern, perhaps uncharitably was that the delay was designed to get into a position where the Knights couldn't draw down on the money and it went to pay debts. I could understand the temptation frankly.

    Knights have announced he has a devastating spinal injury, whatever that means. http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/newcastle-knights-say-alex-mckinnon-has-suffered-a-devastating-spinal-injury-against-storm/story-fndv2us0-1226863939201 Footy seems insignificant now.

    Alex McKinnon possibly Quadriplegic - Mclean guilty of dangerous throw - 7 weeks

    The guy was heading into the ground at 45 degrees with the first point of contact going to be his nose. He had to do something. If the NRL excuse it then its a travesty of the highest order. But it is Melbourne so the NRL will take it easy. Snowden got 7 weeks for a non shoulder charge...

    Newcastle Knights Members Club board to ask Nathan Tinkler to walk away

    Also I am now firmly of the view that I hope Tinks can't get the money in place by 5pm today and action proceeds. We need to shut down the circus once and for all.

    Newcastle Knights Members Club board to ask Nathan Tinkler to walk away

    I think the reality is somewhere in between. The Herald wasn't anti Tinkler initially but wasn't pro Tinkler either so that ran against them once HSG took over. Both sides doubled down at that point and there is no doubt the Herald has been gunning for HSG / Tinks for quite some time. Neither...

    Fair enough, I thought it looked like his nose was going to be the first point of contact and he tried to avoid that but your explanation makes sense. A real shit sandwich for the bloke, I wish him well through this.

    Alex McKinnon

    Incredibly bad luck, lets all hope it ends on a positive note. I was trying to work out why he tucked his head and I think that because he was heading face first into the ground and his arms were pinned, he tucked his head hoping to protect his face as it was about to be the first point of...

    Thats the scary part, usually they are happy to say player X if off to hospital for precautionary scans. This time no one wants to say anything. Good luck to the kid.

    Just on about the penalties and how you can't win giving away 15 penalties. Said it was dumb and they aren't learning. Have a look yourself at NRL.com

    Based on Bennetts comments during the press conference, there sounds like there is an issue. He wouldn't speculate but said it was a delicate situation and that he was in Casualty. I hope all is well.

    R3 // Storm 28-20 Knights @ AAMI // Mon 7pm

    Doesn't mean we have to agree to it, now remember with the Roosters, they were deliberately giving penalties particularly on their lines. Their leg up was not getting players sent to the bin 3 times per game through deliberate penalties and slowing the game. Exhibit A was their game against us...

    Does anyone really think that Bennett will actually pull the trigger, I just don't see it. He had the chance to leave Clydesdale on the field for an extended period but chose not to, Gids is still his "goto" guy. Plus the grand weakness with Mids as CEO is that he will never pull the trigger...

    Can I just say that until the day we catch a break with the refs, we will struggle to win any games, let alone down in Melbourne. It becomes a vicious cycle, we lose a penalty count, get pinged for 50/50 penalties and then it becomes an issue that refs then go looking for. Refs seem to believe...

    Knights said he is off to hospital for scans.

    Make no mistake, I don't want him there, it's just a tragedy all round that it's come to this, tough decisions needed to made earlier. Bennett knows footy and wouldn't have missed what went on.

    Credit where credit is due, he carried us for a number of years and would good enough to be one of the first picked for NSW. That said, he is a problem now and Bennett will know that, I'm just not sure that he knows quite how to resolve the issue.
