Oh they've moved on, now it's the Bunnies poor culture, and of course the club that James Hooper is making a career out of bagging relentlessly - the Tigers. Of course there's always ARL supporter Gus Gould to take pot shots at.
They'll fill in the rest with fluff stories about the club they own ( Broncos ) and some minor news at other clubs.
The Knights have bought themselves another 12 months grace.

Yeah, I believe we get access the day before general public, you don't get your reserved seating though afaik.

No I wouldn't think would get the reserved seat which is fine. As long as I can get tickets.
On the rare occasion I do watch it, it basically seems to be a Wests Tigers discussion show lol.

Interesting little record on https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/teams/newcastle-knights/records.html website. The Knights on stats are right up there with our most successful seasons right across the board.

Mate, I thought you were joking!
This makes so much more sense now. ****ing spewscorp!!
They were very harsh on the Broncos when they were struggling under Seibold and in Walters' first year. There's not much to criticise them about at the moment.

Harsh on Seibold , cannot recall the board or Mr Lockyer ever being labelled muppets or a circus show etc on any sustained level, as they so often accuse Newcastle, West Tigers, Saints, or less powerful clubs.
his hold over Australian society is much worse than the game of footy. Very hard to become a party of government in Australia ( or most western democracy ) without kissing the ring of the King maker Uncle Rupert.View attachment 6533

It’s not so much when they do or don’t criticise them, they are a very good side no doubt so there’s not much to critique, but kind draws, 7 and 8 day turnarounds, Friday night games, that kind of thing. And it’s not just the odd year, it’s every year as long as I’ve been watching football.
Don’t stress I wouldn’t dare upset your precious Rupert.
That was a joke, please don’t ban me.

ultimately the Broncos brand and their sponsors gain far greater exposure.It’s not so much when they do or don’t criticise them, they are a very good side no doubt so there’s not much to critique, but kind draws, 7 and 8 day turnarounds, Friday night games, that kind of thing.

Very difficult to compete with it commercially, although the Roosters do a good job.
This is what the Knights are up against. Now that's power right there. Property, media and wealth management.

I feel dirty having read that
That's true, I mean they do deserve it, but the way they criticise the Wests CEO etc is pretty full on.
And don't worry, I know all about Murdoch ... there was a good documentary on the BBC a few years ago about his shocking influence in the UK as well.
That's true with the draw, but it's not stuff that's super impossible to overcome. I'd say a lot of it is Nine wanting the Broncos on free to air because they rate so much better in Queensland. Is it fair? Nah ... but I'm not bothered personally. We usually get our requests granted for lots of Sunday arvo games too.It’s not so much when they do or don’t criticise them, they are a very good side no doubt so there’s not much to critique, but kind draws, 7 and 8 day turnarounds, Friday night games, that kind of thing.

I reckon the most common statement in my household growing up with free to air on a Friday night was asking dad, “WHO’S PLAYING?!” And he’d just look at me and screw his face up. That was the signal that the Broncos were playing and they weren’t playing anyone we were interested in.
Very rare I bother watching them too, there's some teams I just feel zero connection to and they're one. I don't care enough to like or dislike them.I reckon the most common statement in my household growing up with free to air on a Friday night was asking dad, “WHO’S PLAYING?!” And he’d just look at me and screw his face up.

I believe Canberra have not been very “hot” this season, and on current form can see them being rolled in week 1 of the finals.
Unless they win against any opponent, Ricky says “it wasn’t the Raiders side out there today”. Fortunately, their best players are nearly all ex-Knights players.

The power of positive thought is amazing, and anything can happen in rugby league.

At the moment, Knights playing Canberra in Canberra sounds like a good idea to me, given how both teams are playing. I would be confident the Knights would roll them.
