Anyone else trying to figure out what is under the Asterisks? No, just me?

Interesting that no team in Harold Mathews has been to more GF's then Newcastle over the past 13 years. Newcastle made the GF half the time.

Geez have to feel for Radley, all those unders he likely took cos uncle nick said he would look after him after his career, up in smoke.

Sad part about that is he is coming in off a spoon year and can only improve really to be seen as "improved", yet for the past few seasons before that we were a top 8 team. He can't be seen as doing worse than AOB did this season, a low bar already.

Ponga does well wherever he goes. The issue with Ponga is he is our only shot fired. We need the halves to create their own chances and Ponga chiming in off the back of that, along with his own creativeness as well. Ponga being predominantly our only real threat without relying on kicks to...

I don't care what he says, the club says, or players say. Far too many words and not enough backing them up. Jsaf before Parra said how the squad wants to send AOB out a winner. Could have fooled me. Slogan for mine for pre season is put up or shut up. Or maybe, no words just actions. All...

I wouldn't read too much in to the cliche stuff. Of course that's what he will say, PR and all. I am ignoring it all until we see some evidence of how he is going to change things through pre season and trials, plus first few home games. They are a professional sporting organisation and...

And that's the challenge for Holbrook. Get KP playing more like most fullbacks, and less like our one and only chance to score points.

Left side attack is most teams strong side. Ponga can go where he likes and not restricted to left side.

Saw a comment from him saying one thing about Newcastle that doesn't change is tough players playing a style that represents the town, then goes on to say how he is going to bring that back, because it's changed. :lol:

Has Green officially left yet? I can't imagine he remains after applying for head coach and not getting the job, to continue to work under the person that did!

Coach is settled. I really don't have any feelings one way or the other about it. I'm not going to play analyst and armchair coach. Holbrook is in charge and see what he does. First thing I am interested in, is seeing who he plans to play in the spine. I expect to be hearing the this isn't...

The cycle continues.

Sharpe at 6 is fine, but needs a good 7 that can handle the kicking and end of sets. Sharpe is there for his running game above all else, and his instincts. What I'm waiting to see is how Sharpe, Ponga and Brown are going to share the ball, who gets the ball if they call for it. To me it...

Impossible to answer without knowing the game plan the new coach is going for. They somehow have to shoehorn all the talent in somehow. Is coach going for traditional, or continue the hybrid style. Id like to see Smith at 7, Brown at 6, and KP in the 1 and sticking more to fullback things...

Surely Greg Marzhew. They just weren't our bombs.

This club needs an attitude change. A complete reboot of culture. The club struggles the most with culture and a winning attitude. Unfortunately the club is stuck in a losers mentality/rut. We had that great run to the finals a few years back, that should have spurred us on. Something to latch...

If they give it to green, it's not going to be a popular choice with anyone but the players. Fans won't want a coach with no experience like AOB when he came here, even less than AOB really, quite a lot less. You can just see the media pile on as well, Knights had several candidates with...

I've got some pretty exciting news to bring to the forum. There has been a redesign of the logo for 2026. It's set to be unveiled at the awards night. I was speaking with a well known staffer earlier today for about half an hour. Apparently the change in the logo looking left to then right...

The premiership days are long gone and essentially a totally different club. Since then we have gone through the Tinkler/Bennet debacle, then owned by the NRL and now Wests, staff have completely changed in over that time our winning culture from back then, the us vs them mentality and the ethos...
