Go the Knights
Published
Comments
There is speculation the Knights are aiming to swap Mitchell Pearce for Mitchell Moses at Parramatta or that the club will let him return to the Sydney Roosters. Neither are going to happen.
The Knights suffered a massive loss and heartbreak to exit the finals. The pain is very fresh and it was a tough pill to swallow.
Newcastle’s season has come to a sudden halt following their 46-20 loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs at ANZ Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
After losing 32-16 against their arch-rivals North Queensland, Brisbane has finally secured their first wooden spoon.
Since the resumption of the season in May, the six-again rule has been introduced.
Saturday night saw the Newcastle Knights travel down to the infamous Sydney Cricket Ground ready to take on the Sydney Roosters. A massive thrashing at the hands of the current reigning premiers shows that we’ve got a lot of work left to do.
After a season of highs and lows, lockdowns and coronavirus, mid-season signings and enough injuries to fill an entire hospital ward, the Newcastle Knights have locked in their spot in finals footy after seven years.
With five rounds left, that means there’s five games left for Newcastle.
With the fall of the Knights’ newest recruit Blake Green, the Novocastrians are once again asking who will take the number six role.
Friday, August 14, 2020 at the Central Coast Stadium saw a tight thriller between the Penrith Panthers and New Zealand Warriors. Penrith held on with an 18-12 win.
Over the weekend, we have witnessed a number of NRL coronavirus breaches.
On Sunday afternoon, the Newcastle Knights went down to the Melbourne Storm 26-16. While failing to win the match, they went down fighting for the win and never gave up.
The Newcastle Knights returning home to Marathon Stadium to play against the last-placed Canterbury Bulldogs – and a red hot, rampant Knights team against a team playing last – should be a game we can win.
We have seen a lot of rivalries over the years, team versus team and player versus player.
Following their close 10-4 loss to the red-hot Parramatta Eels on Sunday, some are questioning the Knights’ credibility as a threatening force.
The headline is a question many people have asked in recent times.
It was the upset of the season thus far with the Newcastle Knights falling to North Queensland Cowboys 32-20.
Over the past three weeks, the Newcastle Knights were in for some tough battles.
This week’s match of the round will be the Newcastle Knights hosting the Melbourne Storm at Central Coast Stadium.
The Broncos were in a downward spiral before they got thumped last year.
For Knights fans, the only way is up
It’s meant to say Sydney and Canberra losing two of their next three. My mistake.
Newcastle Knights finally return to finals footy
An error I made, after 20 games last year we scored only 62 and not 63.
Newcastle’s run home is tough
I do understand his reasons and I forgot to add his reasons in. I kinda feel like an arsehole for it even before you mentioned it.
NRL breachers putting the season at risk
I did rule us out as possible grand final winners but not to make the 8. The attitude they showed against Melbourne is needed for every game.
How the Knights can make the top four
He only had one season there and Don Furner was more the leader.
Is Wayne Bennett a super coach or a super fraud?
I can see where you’re coming from and a very great point you make. However, if we won the 2013 grand final and still had the same fallout, I would have still writ this.

Nathan Brown is a rebuilding specialist. Dragons won a premiership with a high majority of the team he built.

I get what you mean and I’m only 18 years old, yet I still call a man sir if I’m not on first name acquaintances with him. I understand why the refs get to $10,000 fine for blasting the refs with professionalism.
We must ease up on the refs
With all due respect sir, Andrew McCullough was always going to get to the ball first and Tevita Funa may be quick but he’s not Speedy Gonzalez.

The r word is one of the few words I choose not to say because of how offensive it is. In my opinion, he should be forced on the sideline for the remainder of the season and do volunteer work for kids with disabilities. Maybe he would appreciate them more.
Disparaging, ignorant, offensive: Why Addin Fonua-Blake's behaviour warranted more than two weeks
Only making an example and my pick would be the Leyland P76.
We must ease up on the refs
Perfectly said sir. Last year when Newcastle thrashed Sydney, it was the wake up call Easts needed and the history books says it all.
What Newcastle can learn after that loss
Allow me to explain the turbo lover comment. It’s not because of how much is love Judas Priest, it’s because the Knights waited far too long to get out of first gear and just like their match against Melbourne, they lost.
What Newcastle can learn after that loss
I believe we have got the top eight this year sir.
Newcastle’s last three matches were encouraging
Very clever. But I recently became a King Crimson fan and it doesn’t matter whether the game takes place In The Court of the Crimson King or the Land of Confusion, Newcastle will prevail as Bulldogs be In Too Deep of that loss.
Let's just enjoy the footy once it's back
I for one sadly won’t agree with you. It’s like the WWE opinion I used. Let’s say the Attitude Era did return then you have the parents blasting them on social media because it’s too violent for their kids.

Nothing will impact the naysayers and that’s just an unfortunate thing.

Okay, I’ll admit I screwed up. He made great changes of the kicking game and he wasn’t he best at playing on instinct.
Is Johnathan Thurston really better than Andrew Johns?
I have and I’ll give him credit there. I meant to say first to truly nail it to perfection.
Is Johnathan Thurston really better than Andrew Johns?
Johns changed it by playing with instinct, which is a key element of life. A great example is the 97 grand final winning try. John Hopoate instinctively went for Matthew Johns due to the intent of the field goal and Joey played off it. The rest is history. Johns even was able to read the opposition while in defence so he knew where the ball was going and most times he knew how to stop them.

Sad but true. Hell, Justin Bieber got drugged up and rolled a car in a drag race and got nothing for it. Plus let’s not forget all the shenanigans Ozzy has pulled off.
Why NRL players must obey coronavirus rules
I’ll break down each of your points.
Point 1. I am at a 50/50 line here. If you choose to play for Tonga and NSW like Andrew Fifita, that would be a cool move but it would be hard him to squeeze both in on representative weekend.
Point 2. I understand why KP and play for the Maori’s due to his father’s heritage but I personally think if that’s the case, he shouldn’t be eligible for State of Origin
Point 3. I do like the idea of bringing in someone from England to play State of Origin. I do know James Roby was close to signing with Newcastle beginning in 2016 and he would have been a good pick for NSW under these rulings while Damien Cook was gaining experience for his Origin debut.
Point 4. That does make sense.
Reform Origin to strengthen the international game, but don't kill the rivalry
I’m talking about off field dramas with Brisbane, which we’re not facing.
