    We Missed out...AGAIN

    That's the line Willie is running with, but you can take it as fact that premiership-chances have nothing to do with it. My mail is it's because the conditions the Knights wanted to put in place on Willie's contract were too stringent. It seems the Knights have actually stuck to their policy of...

    Danny Wicks Arrested.

    Precisely my fear. There's no evidence to suggest that is the case, but one doesn't assume anything in this crazy world. When are pre-seasons ever disruption-free anyway?

    Danny Wicks Arrested.

    With court hearings pending, it's really difficult to comment further on the topic other than to say that it doesn't make a lot of sense that a relatively highly-paid sportsman would be involved in drug distribution (which is how I read "drug supply", as opposed to possession). My only question...

    Kurt Gidley's pay-day

    I have no interest in the Melbourne Cup but I'm fairly sure Kurt Gidley had the winner, Shocking, as part of the Kangaroo Tour sweep. I wonder how much he's in line for.

    New coach?

    Whatever option they go with simply must build on the platform that Brian Smith put in place. The Knights needed a cleanout, and got one. Smith did wonderfully well, despite significant opposition and considerable internal turmoil. Now the core structure is in place. There's no need for a...

    Ikin won't commentate Origin

    http://www.smh.com.au/leaguehq/articles/2009/06/03/1243708497608.html Thank goodness for that....

    Uate or Vuna?

    I can't see Newcastle letting a guy like Uate go. Putting aside raw talent, they scouted him out in the first place, gave him a go at junior levels and worked with him to make him a player who could defend at first grade level. It took a lot of work/effort to get him where he is, and now we're...

    we definately let go of the wrong half.

    I don't think there were doubts about Luke's abilities. He's an excellent player for his level of experience, and his physical make-up. But it's hard to keep telling a player that he's a third-choice option for the halves. When you consider Rogers appears to now be making himself a permanent...

    SMH NRL Ladder goes nuts

    SMH NRL Ladder goes nuts

    Hmm, something seriously wrong over in Fairfaxland. I'm going to guess that this is the NRL ladder from this time last year. It's been like this for a while, so I'm guessing they must all be asleep. Maybe someone will notice it tomorrow morning.

    Kurt Gidley now the NSW fullback

    If there was any uncertainty about how best to use Kurt in the NSW Origin side this year, today's news of Brett Stewart's injury will have solved that problem. Terrible news as it is for Stewart -- he would have to have been in the line-up somewhere had he not been injured -- this clears up one...

    Game Day/Match Discussion Thread of Mighty Knights V Rabbitohs

    All power to the Rabbits for having more staying power than our boys. I thought we played well given the lack of field position, but ultimately we didn't get the points when we had the chance. Our boys couldn't seal the deal and, regretably, Souths showed they wanted it more. That said, it's...

    WTF happened to our forum?

    Too many egos and not enough robust debate. I hate coming back to this time and time again after six years at LU, but the old forum had everything I wanted. Strong discussion, plenty of personalities but also a lot of sensible people who played the ball, not the man. This forum was okay for a...

    Team V Souths

    Well, Timmy is apparently fearful of running at Roy Asotasi (I would be too). Though judging by his specs on the Knights website, he's got nothing to worry about. Apparently he's 180 kg now... he has had a good off-season...

    What ever happened...

    I still miss the greats of the old forum; gnome, Brian, JSP2283. I suppose their absence is for multiple reasons. Perhaps the really cutting-edge but well-thought debate isn't what it once was. Or it's lost its vibe.

    new Knights ad campaign

    Yes, agreed, it's pretty simple but certainly the sort of thing that will be effective in drawing attention to the team. That John was willing to take part is excellent. He's a nice bloke. It's also notable that the Knights have moved away from the Dodgy Bros Inc approach to promotions...

    Knights may lose Website Design

    Excuse my ignorance, but is the Knights website not already upgraded? Roopy is right about the lack of info on the juniors, an outcome I think is pretty ordinary, but the rest of it looks fairly fresh. My main problem with it is the functionality. Those drop-down menus where you have to navigate...

    Under fire: Knights fans unload on Danny Wicks

    This is precisely the point I made to the Newcastle Herald in relation to Brett Keeble's comments today. To criticise Wicks is not to say that he is a dud. All I'm suggesting is that he isn't playing to his potential and perhaps the only way to encourage him to lift his intensity is to give him...

    KOTW v Panthers

    Well, you'd just give all six to Gidley if you could. But despite what some said, I reckon he had some good help from the forwards who played fairly solidly. 3. Gidley -- played like Neo from The Matrix, with time itself warping and Kurt seeing the game in code. A stunning performance (and...

    Panthers Match Thread

    I think Brian Smith had the best summary of the lopsided penalty-count. While there were a couple of really tough calls in there, the real problem was that the Panthers were not penalised for indiscretions that we were nabbed for. There was a lot of sloppiness around the ruck from Penrith that...
