New Chairman Paul Harragon was also excited about the opportunity to ensure the Newcastle Knights will remain a powerhouse on the field and a true vehicle to which local junior players can aspire.
“Our community identifies very closely with this Football Club, so it is important the Board establishes clearly what is the Knights culture and brand,” Harragon said.

Considering Hunter Sports controls the financial side of things, I reckon that's a great looking board. Plenty of success, passion and lateral thinkers on there.
 
There is only one!!!

He might be giving up that role, he's hardly been a raging success.
 
Yeah i think we all knew it wouldn't be a super interesting announcement even if it is a huge event. The behind the scenes work is as critical as any other part of a team.

On another note, I love having money, money money. Well not me, my team. I have no money.
 
Greay News. Great to see Chief in such an important role for the knights, the guy literally bleeds blue and red for the Knights and Newcastle.

Also a much better structure for the board which brings HSG, the former knights, current knights, members and the real NRL together.
