Go the Knights

Comments
I’m a rugby league fan. There are millions of others around the world.
It’s no secret that the Knights have had a tough run during the last few years.
That’s right, you have read it correctly. Tony Archer has been sacked as the referees boss.
Some player rivalries in the history of rugby league have really stood the test of time.
After being told he was unwelcome from 2019 onwards at Brisbane, Wayne Bennett is on the move again.
The 2018 NRL season ended with the Sydney Roosters claiming their 14th premiership with a 21-6 victory over last year’s premiers, Melbourne Storm.
As you may know, Billy Slater has been given the all clear and avoided suspension. He is going to retire after the grand final. Whether or not it will be in a blaze of glory remains to be seen.
The Roosters didn’t get the spoon in 2012, that was Parramatta Eels and Roosters were 12th. In 2009, Roosters got the spoon and in 2010 they made the grand final but lost. The only team to win the premiership the year after getting the wooden spoon in history is Western Suburbs Magpies (1932 with the wooden spoon and 1933 with the premiership).
Hey Wayne, Newcastle regrets you too
Thank you very much. Nathan Brown brought the Knights from something that was seemingly damaged beyond repair and he fixed it.

Who said this was a conspiracy theory? I didn’t just put it all on Wayne. Nathan Tinkler and the previous board for the Knights done their part too. I’m talking about the damage they did to the Knights, not talking about how Tupac is still alive. We all know that’s a load of crap.
Hey Wayne, Newcastle regrets you too
Thank you sir. For the life of me, I couldn’t help myself.

Billy Slater is a champion player and the best fullback ever. When he retires, he’ll be my dream team fullback. However, as much as I still to this day disagree with the shoulder charge ban, it’s still the rules. Back when David Smith was running the show, he made it clear a shoulder charge is an automatic suspension. A few questions;
1) Was it a shoulder charge? Yes it was
2) Does Billy Slater deserve to miss the grand final? No he doesn’t.
3) Should he be given the suspension? Breaks my heart to say this but yes.
Rules are rules and same goes for laws. So what do you think?
Slater is guilty but shouldn’t miss the grand final
This is totally true. You read between the lines of everything he said and went full on hardcore. I take my hat off to you sir.
Bit of class Wayne, that's all we Novocastrians ask
