Does this mean

1. Boyd
6. Henry
7. Mullen
9. De Gois
14. Hilder

and Gidley captains the side from NSW Cup?
No. Gidley will be in the starting 13 somewhere. IF we get Boyd, he'll also be in there somewhere. Maybe in the centres?

The funny thing is there are very few quality coaches left on the market now. So Souths may very well be screwed for next year.
Spot on,Maguire has said no,Bennett has said no,time to ring Georgie,Tugger or one of the many who have coached there since they were reinstated.
Ellison would be worth a try I think,although they need experience,there are none left.

Pretty scummy of the Knights to shaft a loyal local like Stone for an import like Bennett... kinda runs counter to Tinkler's promise to bring the locals back to the club.

They are a scummy club though, so nothing surprises.


Hmm... you can't be that dumb Skeepe. Newcastle have just done Stone a massive favour by purchasing the best coach league has ever had and asking Stone to be his assistant. Stone's been kept in the loop and he has reciprocated by doing and saying the right things. Stone, unlike you, can see the bigger picture here even if it means sacrificing his current position for the long term good of the club. I hope Stone stays on and does his time under Bennett. How many league coaches would dream of that scenario. I also hope Tinkler looks after Rick for the positive public show of support he gave to the TSG bid.

LOL

to all the haters - we deserve this. since Johns retirement we have been nothing but sh*t on by all and sundry, on field and off. we are a proud club with proud fans and one of the strongest league nurseries in the country. stick this one up your flaccid arseholes, and i'll make sure to give the Raiders a special wave on the way to the top.

to those wishing us well - you are all class, and can obviously see how happy this makes us Knights fans.

to Bunniestwat - f**king lol. you dunce.

and now for my thoughts...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stone will stay, he knows that he will become much better when Bennett leaves and isn't he still being paid an head coach salary?

Congratulations Knights. Might get in on 2013 premiership odds.

yep, his offer is no paycut and to learn from the best. if you were an aspiring NRL coach, you couldn't ask for much more i don't think. in my opinion the Knights and Rick Stone have both hit the jackpot.

As if the Raiders would not take him in a heartbeat...might get a broom thru the place, starting with Matt Awful.

Grats Newcastle, he will do a great job there. But I think it might be Boyd back to the Broncs.
