    2027 squad

    Time to start looking at the Newcastle Knights 2027 squad. According to Barry Toohey and Zero Tackle we have 2 spots to fill. I thought we had moved Schiller and Sullivan on. I also thought MaCarthy was confirmed as staying. Can anyone else see any changes? Please, don't make this a debate on...

    He's a very good player that's been out of favour over the ditch. Don't write him off yet.

    NRL Round 26 - Knights Vs Warriors - 2:00pm Sunday, 30th of August - Go Media Stadium

    There seems to be a fair bit of support for the Knight's over here, in Auckland. It's a bit of a surprise.

    Apologies if already mentioned, but POS will be on The Run Home with Hindy & Fletch today on SEN.

    Francis Manuleleua thread

    Yeah, both hit their straps early... they weren't running through opposition teams with ease in their first half a dozen games though. Steve Simpson and Fitzgibbon were good from early on in their careers aswell.

    NRL Round 23 - Knights Vs Raiders - 2:00pm Sunday, 9th of August - GIO Stadium

    Just got home... it was bloody cold and wet but definitely worth the drive. What a great win.

    Francis Manuleleua thread

    I'm struggling to think of any other Knights forward that has burst on to the scene and dominated like Manuleleua has- so early on in their NRL career?

    Francis Manuleleua thread

    Follow up from my post on 08/04. Didn't want him to be a starter because of an injury to another player, but I'm definitely glad he's getting a chance to showcase his ability and is making the most of his opportunity. He's a dead-set gun!

    As long as someone steps up and goes well at right centre.

    NRL Round 21 - Knights Vs Roosters - 6:00pm Friday, 24th of July - McDonald Jones Stadium

    Given the adversity tonight, that's an awesome effort from the Knights. Previous years we lose that by 40. Pretty proud of the lads, we have ourselves a pretty good footy team.

    They're saying dislocation with suspected fracture... Unfortunately, that's a lengthy recovery. Wish him all the best.

    NRL Round 21 - Knights Vs Roosters - 6:00pm Friday, 24th of July - McDonald Jones Stadium

    No Ponga, Saifiti and McKewen... This is going to be a special win now after losing Lucas in the first half.

    NRL Round 21 - Knights Vs Roosters - 6:00pm Friday, 24th of July - McDonald Jones Stadium

    Bad dislocation at best... The foot is pointing in a pad angle.

    NRL Round 20 - Knights Vs Sharks - 6:00pm Friday, 17th of July - Ocean Protect Stadium

    Given the size and strength of their pack, I honestly thought the Shark's would've won the battle in the middle fairly easily tonight. Our young guys really stood up and weren't overwhelmed. Plenty to like about the effort. The future is looking good.

    Our NSW Cup team is very young though and has good depth. We are really strong in the younger reps, so I don't think we need to stress too much about JF this year.
