I'm down in Sydney, am a Saints supporter & as someone looking in from the outside I agree with most of the sentiments you guys are displaying.
The Knights look to be far & away the most Cliquey club in the NRL with the "Old Boys" network firmly entrenched.
Speaking of which, I don't watch the Footy Show anymore, but was interested in seeing how Jarrod Sammutt went last night so had a look & ended up watching the Knights thing, was quite intrigued by Butterfield. He really had his back up, saying it wasn't fair that guys had been there for 5 or 6 years are being shunted. I thought it was good that Voss, Geyer & even Vautin got stuck into them a bit, saying no one had a right to be there. Butts & Johns just epitomised to me what is not so much wrong now, but what would definitely go wrong if things were left unchecked in coming years. That is, as someone else pointed out in another thread, much like Souths between 1990 & 2006 - refusing to move with the times to keep things how they were. Cutting off your nose to spite your face as it were.
What did you guys think of it if you saw it? and how is the general feeling amongst Knights fans up in Newie? Are the sentiments on here reflected in the same proportions of for / against amongst the community?
Cheers.
