Knights televised games

[Knight87]

I was just wandering: Does anyone know or remember if the two games the Knights played at Carlaw Park (vs Manly in 1992 and vs Roosters in 1993) were televised or not? Because, I've been trying to find footage from these games, but haven't been able to.

And also, what about the game in '93 (I think) where the KNights had to at least draw to have some chance of making the Top 5 (finals), and Adrian Brunker missed a kick from dead infront to lose the game?

I remember seeing the game of Manly from Carlaw Park, so it must have been televised.

And I think the game Brunker missed the lick was against Manly, at home. Not sure if it was to get into the finals though.

Both games were televised in NZ on Channel 1 or 2.
I was at both, and David Waite was a very angry man after the Roosters match. The look he shot me when I said g'day.....

 

[Knight87]

really? I didn't know they were televised in NZ (and live, I presume). Who was calling the games?

 

[Knight87]

what happened to David Waite? Why was he furious? (I didn't watch the game, so I wouldn't know)

David was pissed because it was a very close loss to the Roosters, I can't remember the score or circumstances but Gary Freeman had a blinder. I was waiting outside the Knights' bus.

The game was called by Graeme Hughes and Graham Lowe, live, and I'm pretty sure TV2 was the channel.

On the plus side, I got almost the entire team's signatures except for Steve Crowe and Michael Hagan. And David Waites.

The game against Manly in 1992 was the Channel 9 Sunday game.
Not sure about the one against the Roosters

 

[Knight87]

Were us folk in Australia as lucky as the folk in NZ (in regards to watching the match live) with that tight Manly vs Newcastle game?

Also, I don't think the Knights game vs Roosters wasn't on Ch9. From that link above, I have a strange feeling it was either the Manly vs Norths or the Canberra vs St George game.
